Counter Grab Handle
Moulded into the rim
A proper grab point at the rim, moulded rather than added. It is used at the one moment the basket is heaviest, and it is the difference between lifting the basket up and unloading it item by item.

The roller basket in black, which is the colour that shows the least after a year of being dragged along skirting boards and pushed into stacks.

Baskets are the most abused object in a supermarket. They are dragged along skirting boards, kicked across floors, stacked forty deep and dropped. Black moulded plastic survives that visually — not because it does not scuff, but because a scuff in black moulded plastic is invisible from more than a metre away.
The grab handle at the rim is the other reason to specify this build. Lifting a loaded roller basket onto a checkout counter is the moment it is heaviest, and a basket without a proper grab point gets emptied item by item at the lane instead.

Two of these four are about the moment a loaded basket has to be lifted, which is where roller baskets are worst designed.

Colour through the material
Black moulded plastic scuffs like any other and shows it far less. On a fleet of several hundred that survive thousands of cycles each, invisibility of wear is what decides the replacement date.
Flush when down
Retracted, the handle sits flush so a stack of forty is no taller than the baskets. A handle that stands proud when down turns every basket stack into a forest of posts.
Sized for retail flooring
The wheels are sized for tile and vinyl rather than for pavement. A roller basket is dragged rather than pushed, which loads the wheel at an angle a trolley castor never sees.
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.
Baskets stack, which makes them the densest thing we ship. A column of nested baskets is close to solid plastic, so the freight cost per basket is a fraction of anything else in this catalogue — which is why baskets are almost always added to a container that is going anyway rather than shipped on their own. 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 first.
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 project page.
Black hides wear. If your fleet lives hard, this is the build to compare against.
Tell us how rough your basket handling is and whether they leave the building. Black is the practical choice for a hard-worked fleet, and we will say so plainly if a colour would suit your store better.
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.
It wears the same and shows it less, which we would rather say plainly. A scuff in black moulded plastic is invisible at a metre; the same scuff in a light colour is the first thing a shopper sees.
It is specified rather than universal, and it is worth having on any basket a shopper has to lift onto a counter. Tell us your lane height and we will say whether it earns its place.
Yes — printed onto the body, which reads well against black. Moulded-in branding is available too, though it is less legible on a dark body than on a light one.
The telescope is the part most likely to fail on any roller basket. If your fleet gets thrown rather than set down, the single-post handle build has half the mechanism and is the better buy.
