TRANSFORMING THE TROLLEY WORLD – AT THE CUTTING EDGE OF RETAIL INNOVATION FOR OVER 30 YEARS

Features and benefits of our steel trolleys

The features and benefits of Supercart’s steel trolleys, together with their competitive pricing, enable retailers to achieve maximum fleet value.

Modern Design

The following design features result in an attractive trolley that blends in with modern retail stores:

  • Integrated Handle / Upright Frame and Chassis – simple and strong
  • The front Castors are mounted directly to the Chassis eliminating the need for a dirt collecting cross mount.
  • The fronts of the basket are radiused giving a “softer” look.
  • Close, easy nesting – reduces the amount of space required to store trolleys and creates a positive first and last impression for customers.
  • The Handle offers colour and prominent branding to complement store decor and enhance merchandising efforts.
  •  The Bottom Carriers have been designed to be functional, strong and quiet when in use.
  • The trolley designs have excellent anti-tipping dynamics to ensure maximum stability.

High strength, rigid chassis and forks

The chassis and handle/uprights are manufactured from flat oval steel tube which is strong without being heavy. A single length of tube is used for the handle/uprights which is securely welded to the chassis forming a strong “cage”.

The wire basket is securely welded to the handle/uprights frame
This results in a very strong basket trolley that has few fasteners that could loosen.
The fixed and swivel forks are manufactured from 235 MPa yield tensile steel.

Automatic Bending and Robot Welding

The tubes are formed using automatic CNC tube bending machines and the joins are robot welded in jigs ensuring consistent quality with strong, dense welds.

Surface Coating

The trolley steel parts are electro-galvanised and passivated. They are then clear powder coated resulting in a cross hatch Neutral Salt Spray corrosion resistance of more than 100 hours.
The trolleys are both attractive and durable in all weather conditions, with superior rust resistance. The polyester powder coating creates an additional layer of protection against dulling and corrosion and keeps the steel shining for longer.

Plastic Parts

The Baby Seat and Flap, Gate Hinge Bushes and Stops and Clip On Handle plastic parts are recyclable.
The plastic is UV stabilised and the colours are fade resistant.

Castors – Swivel Forks and Wheels

The Swivel Forks are fitted with high load capacity precision bearings
The Wheels have the following features:

  • The high impact Hub material was specially selected to enhance adhesion with tread
  • The Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) used for the wheel tread, was developed for excellent abrasion resistance and adhesion to the wheel hub
  • The outer precision ball bearing outer races are grooved for stronger location in the hub
  • The wheels offer colour and prominent branding
  • The forks and wheels are rated at 100 kg and are strong and reliable. They run more than an extra 14 km over 14 000 obstacles after passing the BSEN12352 requirements.

International Standards Compliance

The trolleys and castors comply with:

  • BSEN1929-1 Basket trolleys Requirements and test for basket trolleys with or without a child carrying facility
  • BSEN12532-1999 Castors and wheels – Castors and wheels for applications up to 1,1 ms (4 kmh)
