The Folding Grocery Cart features a reinforced support plate and a cross-beam at the bottom. It also features a three-position telescopic push handle and EVA non-slip grip. It also features a mid-section with lashing points and side hooks. The lower section features 5" universal front and 8" directional silent casters with integrated pedal brakes. This foldable Shopping Cart is ideal for home shopping and light-load transport.

Folding Grocery Cart Features: 

High Load Capacity

The main frame is constructed of a combination of 20 x 0.9 mm and 16 x 0.8 mm tubing. The bottom beam and triangular braces distribute concentrated loads. The basket bottom wire is Φ3.0 mm and has a 25 x 25 mm mesh. It has a static load capacity of 90 kg and a dynamic load capacity of 60 kg. It has passed 10,000 back-and-forth roll cycles and a 10° slope static stability test. Optimized center load distribution ensures no swaying when fully loaded in a straight line and no noticeable twisting when turning. It is suitable for continuous handling of rice, flour, oil, and full cases of beverages.

Lightweight

The empty cart weighs approximately 6.8–7.6 kg, making it easy for one person to lift and load. The Folding Grocery Cart folds to approximately 1000 × 400 × 160 mm, allowing it to be stored independently in a hallway without occupying an aisle. When unfolded, the linkage automatically locks and features a mechanical secondary safety feature, preventing it from folding during transport. A convenient carry handle makes loading and unloading from the trunk easier, perfect for frequent daily use.

Quick Folding

The dual linkage + pull-ring lock design allows for quick deployment and folding in 2–3 seconds. The folded state locks automatically, preventing rebound during transport. The cart has a folding lifespan of ≥ 8,000 cycles, and a linked guide prevents pinching. The grip force required for a single fold is ≤ 25 N at room temperature, making it easy for even the elderly and women to operate. When unfolded, the positioning pin and stop slot ensure a secure fit during transport.

Silent Rollers

Front 5" 360° universal swivel, rear 8" directional, low-noise TPE tread, 28 mm wheel width; double ball bearings reduce rolling resistance. Operating noise is ≤ 55 dB at 3 km/h on tiled surfaces, with no noticeable jerking across a 15–20 mm gap. Optional 8" pneumatic rear wheels are suitable for outdoor use on stone and asphalt surfaces, ensuring quiet operation at night and indoors.

Large Capacity

The basket's internal dimensions are approximately 600 x 400 x 325 mm, with a usable volume of 75–80 L. The base platform measures 420 x 300 mm and can accommodate stacked cartons or rice bags. It comes standard with a 600 mm bungee cord and dual side lashing holes, capable of a single-point pull of 10 kg or more, allowing long objects to be tied to the vertical pipe without slipping. The basket's rim is 320 mm high, reducing waist strain during loading and unloading, and the rounded corners prevent scratching clothing or packaging.

Corrosion and Weather Resistance

The powder coating shows no blistering or noticeable gloss loss after 72 hours of neutral salt spray exposure. Fasteners are galvanized bolts with lock washers. Welds are ground and sealed with primer, and will not fade after 1,000 wipes with common alcohol and neutral detergents. Operating temperature: -20°C to 60°C ℃, suitable for cold storage replenishment and summer sun exposure. Short-term outdoor parking during rainy days prevents rust and extends maintenance intervals.

Stable and Anti-Tilt

The 485 mm wheelbase shifts the center of gravity rearward, placing approximately 55% of the load on the rear axle for greater straight-line stability. The 150 mm ground clearance balances passability with underbody protection. The minimum turning radius is ≤ 1 m, enabling quick U-turns in elevators and narrow aisles. The integrated rear wheel brake provides a clear feel and instantly locks when loading and unloading on ramps, preventing forward tilt during emergency stops, making loading and unloading safer.

Easy Maintenance and Versatile

The casters feature M8 quick-release nuts and standard 608ZZ bearings, allowing replacement in 10 minutes. The side hooks, straps, and foot covers are universal and easily available. The entire machine is 70% preassembled, and the time from unpacking to use is approximately 3 minutes. The packaged dimensions of a single unit are approximately 1020 × 420 × 170 mm, with a gross weight of approximately 8.2 kg. A 20′ GP unit is recommended with a load of 450–500 kg. The foldable cart offers a more cost-effective transportation option.

Folding Grocery Cart Applications

Weekend Shopping for Urban Families

The route from the basement garage to the elevator and front door often includes ramps and gaps. The 75–80 L capacity can easily accommodate beverage crates and fruit and vegetable boxes. The 8" rear wheels provide stability over speed bumps, and the 16 cm foldable thickness allows it to stand against a wall without occupying the entryway. The pedal brake prevents slipping during loading and unloading on sloped surfaces, and the three-speed handle accommodates different heights, improving the efficiency and safety of family shopping.

Apartment Basement Garage Access

Narrow parking spaces and single lanes require flexible U-turns. The minimum turning radius is ≤ 1 m. The front universal steering and rear directional steering provide responsiveness during low-speed maneuvers, and the TPE wheels provide reliable grip on slippery surfaces. After loading and unloading, the cart folds flat with a single button and fits flat in the trunk wall or upright in a storage cabinet, making daily storage easier.

Community Fresh Grocery Store Backstage

Short-distance, high-frequency handling from cold storage to shelves requires low noise and moisture resistance. TPE silent tires prevent slipping on wet surfaces, and the powder coating resists condensation. 600x400 turnover boxes fit directly into the basket, allowing for U-turns even in aisles as narrow as 1 meter. After closing, the machine folds upright, freeing up space in the aisle for easy cleaning at night, and quickly repositioning and opening the next day.

Farmers' Market Stalls

Maneuverability is essential during the early morning rush. The vehicle's width is kept within 480 mm, eliminating foot contact, and the universal wheels steer flexibly. Elastic cords secure vegetable baskets and loose items, preventing them from rolling away. When closing, the machine can be loaded into the vehicle's side compartment alongside tent poles and folding tables. After folding, it stands upright without rolling, ensuring efficient evacuation.

Laundromat Aisles

Wet areas and detergent environments test the material. The powder coating and galvanized parts are resistant to alcohol and detergents, and can hold 10–15 kg of clothing without deformation. The front universal steering and rear directional steering allow for flexible passing in narrow aisles, quiet operation at night, and reliable parking at ramp entrances.

Campus dormitory moving

New students arriving or graduates moving out often require transport across buildings. This foldable unit easily fits into elevators and around corners; the 3mm mesh supports loose books without spilling, and the 8" rear wheels provide stability on steps. The EVA handle allows for long-distance movement without pinching, and the three-position handlebar height adjusts to different students, making handling easier.

E-commerce forward warehouse picking

The densely packed shelves emphasize tight turning radius and linear stability. Double-bearing casters offer low rolling resistance, saving effort in long aisles. "Upper basket, lower support" design divides refrigerated and ambient temperature items for loading. Side strapping holes allow for pick lists and color coding, ensuring clear batch verification. At the end of a shift, the unit folds against the wall to free up aisle space.

Exhibition setup and dismantling

Aisles are crowded and the floor is heavily troughed. The 8" rear wheels provide ample clearance, allowing roll-up racks and sample boxes to be placed upright and secured with bungee cords. It also operates quietly during nighttime setup, eliminating disturbances to surrounding booths. Multiple units can be moved simultaneously for dismantling, and after loading, they can be folded under exhibition tables or on the side of the truck's trunk, saving transportation and labor time.
