Narrow Base
Dense stacking
A narrow base means a taller column of baskets in the same floor footprint. It shows up twice: less entrance floor occupied, and a smaller freight line on the order.
Tall body · narrow base · dense stacking
A tall basket with a narrow base, built for stacking density. At an entrance where floor space is scarce, it puts more baskets in the same footprint than any other build here.
Studio angles on white, with close-ups below.
The basket stack at a store entrance occupies prime selling floor and everybody resents it. This build answers that: a narrow base means a taller column of baskets in the same footprint, so the same number of baskets takes noticeably less of the entrance.
The same reasoning governs the container loading. Baskets are already the densest thing we ship, and a narrow base makes them denser still, which shows up as a smaller freight line on a large order and as a shorter bay at the door.

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.
Density is bought with stability, and these four are exactly where that exchange happens.

Baskets sit deep into each other
The narrow base lets each basket sit deeper into the one below it. That nesting depth, not the basket height, is what actually determines how many go in a column.
Capacity kept
The body stays tall so capacity is not lost with the base width. It is a narrower basket rather than a smaller one, which is the distinction that makes this build worth having.
Set as wide as the base allows
The wheels are pushed to the outer edge of the narrow base to recover what track width they can. It is a partial compensation rather than a fix, and the basket is still less stable parked.
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 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.
Is entrance floor your constraint? Then density is worth the stability trade.
Tell us how much floor the basket stack can take at your entrance. Where that is the binding constraint this build wins; where shoppers park baskets constantly, the wide base is the better answer.

It is less stable when parked than the wide-base build, which is the direct trade. If your shoppers put the basket down constantly, take the wide base; if entrance floor is your constraint, take this one.
Meaningfully, because each basket sits deeper into the one below it. The exact stack pitch is confirmed on the packing list, and it is the number the freight is worked out on.
No — the body stays tall, so it is a narrower basket rather than a smaller one. That distinction is the reason this build exists rather than simply being a small basket.
They will nest together because the wall taper is constant, but mixing stack pitches in one bay wastes space. Keep them in separate bays if you run both.
