Collapsible Grocery Cart Features

High-Load-Bearing Structure

The main frame is constructed of a combination of 20×0.9 mm and 16×0.8 mm carbon steel tubing. The bottom is reinforced with a "cross" structure and triangular braces to distribute concentrated loads. The basket bottom wire has a 3.0 mm diameter and a 25×25 mm mesh. It has a static load capacity of 90 kg and a dynamic load capacity of 60 kg. The cart has passed 10,000 back-and-forth roll cycles, a 50 mm drop, and a 10° slope static stability test, demonstrating no swaying when fully loaded in a straight line and no noticeable twisting or wobble when turning.

Quick Folding

A dual-link and pull-and-lock mechanism allows for quick deployment and folding in 2–3 seconds. Folded to approximately 1000 × 400 × 160 mm, it stands upright without occupying a hallway. When deployed, it automatically locks and features a mechanical secondary safety mechanism to prevent it from folding back during operation. Its folding lifespan is ≥ 8,000 cycles, and its single-folding grip force is ≤ 25 N at room temperature, making it easy for even the elderly and women to operate.

Silent Casters

The front wheels are 5″, 360° swivel, and the rear wheels are 8″, directional. They feature a low-noise TPE tread, a 28 mm wheel width, and dual ball bearings for reduced rolling resistance. Operating noise is ≤ 55 dB at 3 km/h on tiled surfaces, and there's no noticeable jerking when crossing a 15–20 mm gap. Optional 8" pneumatic rear wheels are available for outdoor use on stone and asphalt surfaces, ensuring easy access both indoors and outdoors.

Large Loading 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, rice bags, or storage baskets. 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. Long items can be tied along the vertical pipes. The basket's rim height is approximately 320 mm, making loading and unloading easier. 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 polished and sealed with a primer, and can withstand 1,000 wipes with alcohol and neutral detergent without fading. Operating temperature: -20°C to 60°C ℃, short-term outdoor parking on rainy days is less prone to rust, making it suitable for both cold storage restocking and summer exposure.

Stable and Anti-Tilt

The wheelbase is approximately 485 mm, and the rearward center of gravity places approximately 55% of the load on the rear axle. The ground clearance of 150 mm ensures both maneuverability and scratch resistance. The minimum turning radius is ≤ 1 m, allowing for quick U-turns in elevators and narrow aisles. The integrated rear wheel brake provides a clear feel and instantly locks during loading and unloading on slopes, preventing forward roll during emergency stops, making loading and unloading safer.

Ergonomic Comfort

The push handle has three height settings of 980/1020/1060 mm, suitable for heights between 155 and 190 cm. The 20 mm thick EVA grip is non-slip, whether wet or dry. The Collapsible Grocery Cart weighs approximately 6.8–7.6 kg and can be easily lifted by one person. The handle can be fine-tuned 15° left and right for easy steering, reducing the required thrust for long-distance straight-line propulsion by approximately 100% compared to designs without bearing wheels. 25–35%.

Easy Maintenance and Shipping

The casters use M8 quick-release nuts and standard 608ZZ bearings, allowing replacement in less than 10 minutes. The side hooks, straps, and foot covers are universal, making spare parts easily available. The entire unit is 70% pre-assembled, and unpacking and commissioning takes approximately 3 minutes. The outer dimensions of a single unit are approximately 1020 × 420 × 170 mm, with a gross weight of approximately 8.2 kg. A 20′ GP container is recommended for 450–500 units, offering a more competitive full container cost.

Collapsible Grocery Cart Applications

Back-of-house replenishment for community stores

The routes from cold storage to shelves are short and frequent, requiring low noise, moisture resistance, and easy turnaround. The TPE silent wheels resist slipping in wet conditions, and the powder coating resists condensation. A 600×400 turnover box fits directly into the basket, and a 1 m The aisle can also be rotated freely. After closing, the cart can be arranged in rows, freeing up aisle space and ensuring smooth nighttime cleaning.

Quick entry and exit at the farmers' market

The early morning crowds require flexible maneuvering and stable loads. The Collapsible Grocery Cart's width is limited to 480 mm, preventing foot contact, and its universal wheels allow for agile maneuvering between stalls. Elastic cords secure vegetable baskets and loose items, preventing them from rolling away. When closing the stall, it can be stored side by side with umbrellas and folding tables, preventing them from rolling away, ensuring efficient evacuation.

Access to an apartment basement garage

Narrow parking spaces, slopes, and butt joints are common. The minimum turning radius is ≤ 1 m, allowing for precise maneuvering at low speeds. The 150 mm ground clearance allows for smooth speed bump handling. After loading and unloading, the cart folds flat against the trunk wall or upright in a storage cabinet, making daily storage easier.

Self-service laundry pickup and delivery

Wet areas and frequent use of detergents put the coating and fasteners to the test. The powder coating and galvanized parts are resistant to alcohol and neutral detergents, ensuring a single load. Holds 10–15 kg of clothing without losing its shape. The front universal steering and rear directional steering allow for maneuverability in narrow aisles, while quiet operation at night eliminates the risk of disturbing neighboring shops. Parking at ramps with a single click is also safer.

Campus Dormitory Moving

New students checking in or graduating students moving out require crossing buildings, elevators, and stairs. The 3mm mesh supports loose books, and the 8" rear wheels provide stability on stairs. The EVA handle provides long-distance comfort, and the three-position push handle accommodates different students. It folds up for easy elevator access and corner maneuvering, leaving dormitory aisles clear.

E-commerce Forward Warehouse Picking

Densely packed shelves require tight turning radius and linear stability. Double-bearing casters offer low rolling resistance, saving effort in long aisles. The "upper basket and lower support" system allows for separate loading for refrigerated and ambient temperatures. Side strapping holes for mounting pick lists and color codes ensure clear batch verification and reduce errors.
