Moulded Basket
No catching edges
Moulded rather than wire, so there is no mesh to trap a finger and no cut wire end anywhere. It is the single biggest safety difference from a scaled-down adult trolley.
Child size · moulded basket · rounded everywhere
A child-size trolley, built properly rather than as a toy. Everything is rounded, nothing pinches, and it is specified to the same standards as the adult fleet because it will be used harder.
Studio angles on white, with close-ups below.
A child trolley gets run into things deliberately. That is not a design problem to be solved, it is what children do, and it means the trolley has to be built for impact rather than for looks. Everything is rounded, the moulded basket has no edges to catch a hand, and the frame is welded at every junction like the adult fleet.
It earns its place commercially as well as socially. A child pushing their own trolley is a child not asking to be carried, and a parent shopping for longer is the entire return on the fixture.

A child trolley is a safety product, and three of these four close-ups are about that.

Throughout
Every corner and end is rounded. Children push these into each other and into fixtures on purpose, and a square tube end at that height is at exactly face level for a smaller child.
Sized to a small hand
The handle is sized to a small hand and set at a height a child can steer from. A scaled-down adult handle is too thick to grip properly, which is why it is a different moulding.
Same standard as adult fleet
Castors are specified to the same standard as the adult fleet. A child trolley covers less distance but takes far more impact, so nothing here is downgraded.

Store fixtures are light for their size, so a container fills up on volume long before it fills up on weight. What decides your freight is not what one unit weighs — it is what shape the goods are in when they go through the container door. Everything we build leaves in one of three shapes.
Shelving bays, produce islands and bulk cabinets travel as panels — uprights, shelves, back panels and plinths, strapped flat with bubble wrap on every component. They are built up on the shop floor, so the packing list and the assembly drawings travel with the goods.
Trolleys slide into one another and baskets stack. Past the first unit, each extra one adds only its nesting pitch instead of its full length, so the shipped volume ends up a fraction of what the unit count suggests.
This model
A checkout lane is welded, coated and fitted out as one piece, so it is crated whole with padding on the steel. Nothing waits to be assembled at the store beyond levelling it into the lane, and the crate is the counter plus a margin.
Trolleys are the one category where the unit count and the shipped volume are almost unrelated. They nest, so past the first unit each extra one adds only its nesting pitch instead of its full length — which is why a container of trolleys holds several times what the same container of assembled counters would. We do not publish litre capacities for this range. The figures circulating for it came from an old third-party listing rather than from our own production records, and they are being confirmed with the factory before they go on the site.
A trolley bay is part of the front of store, and what it stands next to decides how well it works.
The lane length has to leave room for a loaded trolley to turn out of it, which is a dimension worth checking before either is ordered.
See checkout countersAisle width is set by two loaded trolleys passing, so the shelving depth and the trolley size are one decision rather than two.
See shelving baysA promotion square at an aisle head is the first thing a trolley has to get past, and the clearance between them is worth drawing.
See promotional standsHow many of each a store needs is a floor area question rather than a product question, and it is answered store by store on the supermarket layout design page.
A tall flag is worth fitting so adults see it coming. Tell us if you want one.
Tell us whether you want a tall marker or flag fitted. A child trolley below adult sight line is the one risk this fixture genuinely has, and a marker removes it.
The four that come up on nearly every enquiry for this build. If yours is not here, send it with your layout and it is answered alongside the quotation.
Everything is rounded, the basket is moulded so there is no mesh or cut wire, and the build standards match the adult fleet. The one remaining risk is that it sits below adult sight line, which is why we recommend a tall marker.
A handful rather than a fleet. They are used by a small proportion of shoppers and they take bay space, so most stores run far fewer than they first order.
With each other, yes. They will not nest with the adult trolleys — different sizes nest to different pitches — so give them their own short bay.
A small amount, which is the point — a child putting real items in a real trolley is what makes it work. It is not a serious capacity contribution and it is not meant to be.
