Coated Frame
Colour over welded steel
Fully coated over a welded steel frame. On a small trolley the whole frame can be coated affordably, and it makes the top-up trolleys instantly distinguishable in a shared bay.
Small format · coated frame · top-up shopping
A small fully-coated trolley for top-up shopping. It sits between a hand basket and a full trolley, which is the size most convenience shoppers actually want and few stores offer.
Studio angles on white, with close-ups below.
Most stores offer a hand basket or a full trolley and nothing in between, which leaves the very common shopper — more than a basket, far less than a weekly shop — carrying a basket that is too heavy or pushing a trolley that is mostly empty. This is the size that fills that gap, and in convenience formats it is often the most used fixture in the store.
The frame is fully coated in colour rather than just the handle, which on a small trolley is affordable in a way it is not on a full size fleet, and it makes the top-up trolleys instantly distinguishable from the full size ones in the same bay.

A small trolley is judged on whether it feels solid, because a light fixture can easily feel cheap. These four are why it does not.

Top-up capacity
Sized for a top-up shop rather than a weekly one. It is a genuinely different mission from either a hand basket or a full trolley, and the capacity is set to it.
Coated after welding
Welded first and coated afterwards, so no bare metal sits at any joint. A small trolley that feels flimsy does not get used, and the welds are most of what it feels like.
Full size standard
Castors and lower frame are to the same standard as the full size fleet. Being small is not a reason to be lighter, and a small trolley that rattles feels like a toy.
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 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 project page.

Tell us your store format and typical basket size. If most of your shoppers buy more than a hand basket holds and less than a trolley needs, this is the gap in your fleet.

The shopper buying more than a hand basket holds and far less than a weekly shop. Most stores have no fixture for that mission at all, which is why the small format gets used more than buyers expect.
No — they serve different missions and a store wants both. Baskets are picked up without thought; a trolley is a decision. Running both is what covers the range.
No. Different sizes nest to different pitches, so give them a separate short bay. That also makes them easier for shoppers to find.
On a small trolley it is affordable in a way it is not on a full size fleet, and it makes the two sizes instantly distinguishable from across the store.
