Open Wire Tier
Load readable from standing
Wire rather than a solid deck on both levels. A shelf-filler reads the lower tier without crouching, which over a shift is the difference between fast and slow replenishment.
Two wire tiers · staff replenishment · nesting
Two open wire tiers on castors, for staff rather than shoppers. It is the trolley a shelf-filler uses, and it is specified for hours of continuous use rather than for one shop.
Studio angles on white, with close-ups below.
A shopper trolley is used for twenty minutes and then abandoned in a bay. A staff trolley is pushed for a full shift, loaded and unloaded dozens of times a day, and it takes more abuse in a month than a shopper trolley does in a year. This is built for the second job: two open wire tiers, everything welded, and castors specified for continuous use.
Open wire on both levels rather than a solid deck is deliberate. A shelf-filler needs to see what is on the lower tier without bending down, and wire lets them read the whole load from standing.

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.
Staff equipment fails at the castors and the welds long before it fails anywhere else. That is where these look.

Continuous duty
Every junction is welded. A staff trolley takes more abuse in a month than a shopper trolley does in a year, and bolted joints do not survive that.
Continuous use
Castors are specified for continuous use rather than intermittent. It is the single most common reason a staff trolley is replaced early, and it is worth getting right at the order.
Set to your cases
The gap between tiers is set against the case or tray height you actually handle. Spacing that nearly fits your cases wastes a tier's worth of capacity on every trip.
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 equipment lists by store size.
Send the case or tray you replenish from. Tier spacing is set to it.
Send the case or tray height your team replenishes from, and how many hours a day the trolleys are in use. Both change the specification.
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.
Because they are specified for twenty minutes of use rather than eight hours. Stores that use shopper trolleys for replenishment replace them constantly and never work out why.
It is set to the case or tray you handle. Send those dimensions — spacing that nearly fits wastes a tier's worth of capacity on every single trip.
It can, and for small or loose items it is better. For cased replenishment wire is preferable because the load is readable from standing, and we would ask what you handle before specifying.
Heavier than a shopper trolley, and matched to your floor. It is the most common early failure on staff equipment, so tell us the hours and the floor rather than leaving it to a default.
