Wide Base
Stands loaded
A wider footprint so a loaded basket stands rather than tips when the shopper lets go. It costs a little stacking density, which is the honest trade and worth knowing before the packing list.
Wide base · stands loaded · telescopic handle
A roller basket with a wider base, so it stands upright and loaded when the shopper lets go of it to reach a shelf. Which they do, dozens of times a shop.
Studio angles on white, with close-ups below.
A shopper puts a roller basket down every time they reach for something with both hands, and a basket that tips over when they do it is a basket they stop using. Widening the base means a loaded basket stands stably on its own, which sounds trivial and is the single most common complaint about roller baskets in general.
The trade is stacking density: a wider base means slightly fewer baskets in the same column height. On a fleet of several hundred that is a real freight cost, and it is worth knowing about rather than discovering it on the packing list.

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 wide base changes the footprint, the stack and the way the basket sits. These four cover all three.

Maximum track
The wheels sit at the widest part of the base, giving the maximum track width. Combined with the wide footprint it is what makes this the most stable roller basket in the range when parked.
Wider column
The wider base is why the column is a little less dense. The taper is unchanged so nothing wedges — there is simply more plastic per basket in the stack.
Widened only at the foot
Only the foot is widened rather than the whole body, which keeps the capacity and the aisle behaviour the same as the standard build while gaining the stability.
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 retail 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.
Do your shoppers park the basket constantly? Then the wide base pays for itself.
Tell us how your shoppers use baskets. Where they put the basket down frequently to reach shelves, the wide base is worth the small loss in stack density; where they carry through, it is not.

A little — a wider base means slightly fewer baskets per column. It is a real cost on a large order, and we would rather you knew before ordering than discovered it on the packing list.
When parked, comparably. When moving, the four-wheel build is more stable because it runs level. Choose the wide base for parking stability and four wheels for shoppers who cannot pull.
Only at the foot — the body is the same width as the standard build. In practice it occupies no more aisle than a standard roller basket does.
Yes, and for a store where baskets both get parked constantly and leave the building it is the right combination. Tell us both requirements and it is quoted as one build.
