Coated Frame Tube
Plastic powder coated
Plastic powder coated over the whole tube. The coating is what you are buying here, and its thickness at the wear points is what decides how the fleet looks in two years.
Whole frame coloured · compact · nesting
A compact trolley with the entire frame powder coated in colour, not just the handle. It is the most visible thing a store can do with its fleet, and the most demanding to keep looking right.

Colouring a handle is cheap and safe. Colouring the whole frame is neither, and it is worth understanding why before ordering: a coated frame shows every scrape, and a trolley fleet gets scraped constantly. What you get in return is the most striking fleet on any high street, and for a brand-led retailer that can be worth it.
The compact body suits it. On a full size trolley a fully coloured frame becomes a lot of colour moving around a store; on a shorter one it reads as a considered object rather than as a painted cage.

Supermarkets, convenience stores, chain retail and speciality stores. Tell us the store format and the floor area and the specification comes back written against them.
A coated frame lives or dies on coverage at the joints, which is where these close-ups go.

Coated after welding
The frame is welded first and coated afterwards, so there is no bare metal at any junction. A coated-then-assembled frame rusts from the joints outward.
Wire, uncoloured
The basket is left as plain wire. Colouring both the frame and the basket is a step too far — the goods disappear into it, which is the opposite of what a trolley should do.
Coated up to the fitting
The coating runs right up to the castor fitting. The base of the frame takes kerb strikes and trolley-bay impacts, so coverage there matters more than anywhere else.
Every item on this page is made to order. Send a floor plan, a hand sketch or a photograph of a fixture you like, and we quote against it.
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 display tablesHow 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 coloured frame shows every scrape. Worth it for a brand-led store, not for a discounter.
Tell us how visible your fleet is to the street and how brand-led your store is. A fully coloured frame is a strong statement and it needs the store behind it to justify the upkeep.

Yes, and we would rather say so before you order. A coated frame shows what a zinc one hides. The compensation is that no other trolley option looks as deliberate.
Small damage can be touched up locally, though it will never be invisible. Stores running coloured fleets usually budget for a proportion being refinished rather than treating each scrape individually.
A fully coloured full-size trolley is a lot of colour moving around a store. On the compact body it reads as a considered object; on a large one it can look like a painted cage.
Not measurably. Coating thickness is far below the nesting tolerance, so the pitch and the bay space are the same as the plain build.
