The Metal Foldable Shopping Cart is constructed of carbon steel tubing and a wire mesh basket. The main frame is a welded round tube structure, and the surface is electrostatically powder-coated to a matte metallic finish.

Metal Foldable Shopping Cart Features

High Load Capacity

The main frame is constructed of 16 x 0.8mm carbon steel tubing, and the bottom crossbeam is welded with a triangular brace. The cart has a static load capacity of 80kg and a dynamic load capacity of 60kg. The basket bottom wire has a diameter of 3mm and a mesh size of 25 x 25mm, providing a secure fit for both small and large packages. The Metal Foldable Shopping Cart has passed 10,000 back-and-forth rolling endurance tests and a 10-degree slope stability test, ensuring it resists deformation even with heavy loads, ensuring safe transport.

Lightweight

The Metal Foldable Shopping Cart weighs approximately 6.8kg and folds to a size of 100 x 40 x 15cm, making it suitable for most car trunks or lockers. The folding mechanism utilizes a quick-release link and a spring lock, allowing for single-handed folding. The handle automatically locks after unfolding to prevent it from folding back during transport. The lightweight design reduces physical exertion during long-distance transport while maintaining load-bearing performance.

Silent Wheels

The front wheels are five-inch, 360-degree swivel wheels, while the rear wheels are seven-inch fixed wheels. The treads are made of TPE, a silent material that produces noise levels below 55 decibels at a speed of three kilometers per hour over tiled floors. The axles feature a double ball bearing structure, offering low rolling resistance and responsive steering. They resist sticking in joints and small gravel surfaces, making them suitable for supermarket floors and residential stone pavements.

Corrosion Protection

The steel surface is electrostatically powder-coated to a thickness of approximately 80 microns. After a 72-hour salt spray test, no blistering or noticeable gloss loss was observed. Concentrated welds are polished and primed, and galvanized fasteners and lock washers are installed on threaded ends. They withstand 1,000 wipes with common cleaning agents without fading. Suitable for wet backyards and short-term outdoor parking during rainy and snowy seasons, they offer a longer lifespan.

Stable Structure

The widened wheelbase of 480mm and the U-shaped stiffening beam between the basket and chassis increase the Metal Foldable Shopping Cart's torsional rigidity by 30%. The rear wheel features an integrated pedal brake that locks with a single footstep, ensuring safer loading and unloading on slopes. The centrally located center of gravity and 150mm ground clearance ensure both maneuverability and stability, preventing tipping over when fully loaded.

Large Capacity

The basket measures approximately 600 x 400 x 320mm, with a usable capacity of 70 to 80 liters, suitable for standard 600 x 400 containers or two cartons of 24 bottles. Two side lashing holes and a 600mm bungee cord prevent loose items from slipping. The front fold-in flap secures long items, increasing loading flexibility.

Ergonomic Comfort

The push handle is adjustable in three heights, from 980 to 1,040mm, to accommodate individuals between 155 and 190cm tall. The 20mm-thick EVA foam grip is non-slip, whether wet or dry. The minimum turning radius is less than one meter, making U-turns in elevators and narrow corridors easy. Rounded corners prevent scratches on clothing or packaging.

Easy Maintenance

The caster's quick-release nuts are M8 and can be replaced in ten minutes. They can be installed and disassembled using both size 10 and size 13 wrenches, making maintenance easy. Each caster is packaged in a box measuring 102 x 42 x 17 cm, weighing 7.6 kg, and includes a spare parts kit and assembly instructions. A monthly inspection is required for normal use to maintain smooth operation.

Farmers' Market Stalls

Morning stocking and daytime restocking require quiet and flexible transport tools. The 70- to 80-liter basket can accommodate both vegetable baskets and electronic scales, and a bungee cord secures bulk leafy vegetables. The five-inch swivel wheels provide easy steering even on slippery surfaces, and the rear brake provides a secure stop in front of a sloped stall, preventing slippage during loading and unloading.

Metal Foldable Shopping Cart Application

Community Fresh Food Store Back-of-House

The distance from the back-of-house cold storage to the shelves is short, yet frequent, and the electrostatic powder coating resists corrosion and condensation. The directional and universal wheels make turning in narrow aisles effortless, and the handle height, ranging from 980 to 1,040 mm, allows for quick operator switching. Standard turnover boxes can be loaded directly into the basket, improving replenishment efficiency. Three seconds before closing, they can be folded and placed upright, eliminating aisle congestion.

E-commerce Warehouse Picking Aisles

600 x 400 turnover boxes and express bags can be mixed, and the cart maintains a 60 kg load while maintaining straight stability. The tight turning radius accommodates densely packed shelves, and the low rolling resistance of the bearing casters reduces effort in long aisles. The Metal Foldable Shopping Cart features side strapping holes for attaching barcode labels and scanners, ensuring accurate location-based picking without delays, improving overall picking efficiency.

Campus Dormitory Transportation

New students arriving or graduates moving out require inter-building transportation. The Metal Foldable Shopping Cart folds to a size of 100 x 40 x 15 cm, allowing it to fit into dormitory elevators and luggage rooms. The 3mm mesh bottom allows for easy placement of loose books, and the EVA handles provide a comfortable grip for extended periods. The 7-inch rear wheels provide stability over speed bumps and slopes, and are quieter at night.

Self-service laundry aisle

Wet environments place higher demands on materials and casters. The TPE silent wheels are water-resistant and non-slip, and the powder-coated salt spray coating provides 72 hours of blister-free operation. They also resist fading even with frequent detergent exposure. The bag can carry 10 to 15 kg of laundry at a time, and the front guard prevents the bag from sagging while dragging. This makes pushing the bag self-service much easier, and speeds up turnover during peak hours.

Residential basement garage

Families need a stable way to push their weekend shopping from the parking space to the elevator. The bag folds flat against the trunk wall for easy access in three seconds. Its 80 kg static load capacity can accommodate a combination of mineral water and rice, and the rear brake prevents rolling when loading and unloading on slopes. Its 150 mm ground clearance ensures safe handling over speed bumps without scratching the bottom.

Exhibition aisle

Exhibits and materials are heavy and the aisles are crowded. The Metal Foldable Shopping Cart weighs 6.8 kg and can be carried and folded by a single person. The basket can accommodate roll-up displays and sample boxes, and the lashing cords secure slippery items. The casters produce noise levels below 55 decibels, allowing for late-night setup without disturbing surrounding booths. After work, it can be stored upright under a table to save space.

Hospital Back-of-Hospital Corridors

The corridors require low-noise and easily disinfectable transport equipment. The TPE wheels offer silent rolling motion, and the metal surface is alcohol-resistant. The 70-liter basket can transport bedding and cleaning supplies, and the universal wheels allow for quick steering around corners. The rear wheel brake ensures safety when parking on ramps, and the quick-release mechanism facilitates regular caster replacement, keeping the corridor clean and quiet.
