The Foldable Grocery Cart unfolds and collapses in 2–3 seconds. Its folded thickness is approximately 16 cm, allowing it to stand upright or lie flat for storage. It is a foldable Shopping Cart ideal for home grocery shopping, community restocking, and light-load logistics.

Foldable Grocery Cart Features

High-Load Frame

The Foldable Grocery Cart's main frame is constructed from a combination of 20×0.9 mm and 16×0.8 mm carbon steel round tubes, with welded triangular braces and a horizontal back plate at key load points. The basket's 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. It has passed 10,000 back-and-forth roll tests, a 10-degree slope stability test, and a 50 mm drop test. It can travel straight with a full load without nodding and does not twist or sway during sudden stops, making it suitable for the continuous transport of full cases of beverages, rice, flour, and oil.

Instant Folding Structure

The folding mechanism features a double-link mechanism with a pull-ring lock, allowing the cart to unfold and fold in 2–3 seconds. The Foldable Grocery Cart folds to approximately 1000 × 400 × 160 mm and stands upright when folded, eliminating the need for a hallway. When unfolded, the links automatically lock and feature a mechanical secondary safety to prevent folding during operation. The cart boasts a folding lifespan of at least 8,000 cycles, and the grip force required for a single fold at room temperature is no more than 25 Newtons, making it easy for even the elderly and women to operate.

Silent Casters

The front wheels are 5-inch, 360-degree swivel, and the rear wheels are 8-inch, directional. They feature a low-noise TPE tread, a 28mm wheel width, and dual ball bearings. Operating at 3 km/h on tiled surfaces, the cart generates no more than 55 decibels, and can cross 15–20 mm gaps without noticeable jerking. Optional larger rear wheels are available to accommodate both outdoor stone and asphalt surfaces, ensuring quiet operation both at night and indoors.

Large-Capacity Basket

The basket measures approximately 600 x 400 x 325 mm, with a usable capacity of 75–80 liters. The base platform measures 420 x 300 mm and can stack cartons or rice bags. The Foldable Grocery Cart comes standard with a 600 mm bungee cord and dual side lashing holes, capable of a single-point pull of at least 10 kg. Long items can be tied along the vertical pipes to prevent them from shaking. The basket rim is approximately 320 mm high, making loading and unloading easier. Rounded corners prevent scratches on clothing and packaging.

Corrosion and Weather Resistance

The powder coating passed a 72-hour neutral salt spray test with no blistering or noticeable gloss loss. 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. The operating temperature range is -20 to 60 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for cold storage replenishment and summer sun exposure. It's also resistant to rust when parked outdoors for short periods during rainy days.

Stable and Anti-Tilt

The wheelbase is approximately 485 mm, shifting the center of gravity rearward, placing approximately 55% of the load on the rear axle for greater straight-line stability. The ground clearance is 150 mm, ensuring no scraping when negotiating speed bumps. The minimum turning radius is less than 1 meter, allowing for quick U-turns in elevators and narrow aisles. The integrated rear wheel brake pedal provides a clear feel and instantly locks during loading and unloading on slopes, preventing forward roll during emergency stops, enhancing loading and unloading safety margins.

Ergonomics and Controls

The telescopic push handle has three height settings: 980, 1020, and 1060 mm, suitable for heights between 155 and 190 cm. The 20 mm thick EVA grip is non-slip, whether wet or dry. The handlebars offer 15-degree left and right fine-tuning for easy steering. Long-distance linear push resistance is significantly lower than that of bearingless wheel solutions. The Foldable Grocery Cart weighs approximately 6.8–7.6 kg, making it easily portable by one person.

Easy Maintenance and Shipping

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

Foldable Grocery Cart Applications

Weekend shopping for urban families

The route from the basement garage to the elevator and then to the front door includes ramps and joints. The 75-80 liter capacity accommodates both beverage crates and fruit and vegetable boxes. The 8-inch rear wheels provide stability over speed bumps. With a foldable height of 16 cm, it stands upright against a wall, eliminating the need for a large entryway. The pedal brake prevents slipping during loading and unloading on slopes, and the three-position push handle allows for comfortable maneuvering for people of all heights, making weekend shopping easier.

Accessible to an apartment basement garage

Narrow parking spaces and single lanes require flexible U-turns. The minimum turning radius is less than 1 meter, and the front universal steering and rear directional steering provide responsive maneuvering at low speeds. The TPE wheels provide reliable grip on slippery surfaces. After loading and unloading, they fold flat against the trunk wall or stand upright in a storage cabinet, making them suitable for both commuting and shopping.

Back-of-house use in a community fresh food store

Short-distance, high-frequency handling from cold storage to shelves requires low noise and moisture resistance. The silent tires prevent slipping in wet conditions, and the powder coating resists condensation. 600×400 turnover boxes can be loaded directly into the basket, and the basket can be smoothly turned even in 1-meter aisles. After closing, the carts stand upright in rows, freeing up space in aisles for unobstructed nighttime cleaning.

Quick entry and exit at the farmers' market: 

Early morning crowds demand flexible maneuvering. The Foldable Grocery Cart's width is limited to 480 mm, eliminating foot traffic, and its universal wheels allow for easy maneuvering around stalls. Elastic cords secure the vegetable baskets to prevent them from rolling. When closing, they can be loaded side-by-side with tent poles and folding tables, ensuring they fold without rolling, ensuring efficient evacuation.

Laundromat aisles: 

Frequent use in wet areas and with detergents puts the material to the test. The powder-coated and galvanized parts are resistant to alcohol and neutral detergents and can hold 10–15 kg of clothing without deformation. The front universal steering and rear directional steering allow for flexible maneuvering in narrow aisles, while operating quietly at night without disturbing neighboring shops. Parking at ramps with a single click provides added security.

Campus dormitory moving: 

Frequent inter-building transport occurs during arrival and graduation seasons. The 3 mm mesh supports loose books, ensuring they stay secure, and the 8-inch rear wheels provide stability when climbing stairs. The EVA handle allows for long-distance push without pinching the hand, and the three-position push handle height allows for quick adjustment to different users. It folds up for easier access to elevators and around corners.

Forward warehouse picking aisles

Strongly spaced shelves require tight turning radius and linear stability. Double-bearing casters offer low rolling resistance, saving effort in long aisles. "Upper basket and lower tray" design divides refrigerated and ambient temperature items. Side strapping holes allow for clearer batch verification, and items can be placed against the wall during inventory checks without blocking the aisle.

Exhibition setup and dismantling

Crowded aisles and multiple cable troughs on the floor. The 8-inch rear wheels provide ample clearance, allowing roll-up racks and sample boxes to be placed upright and secured with bungee cords. During nighttime setup, the units operate quietly without disturbing surrounding booths. Multiple units can be moved simultaneously for dismantling, and after loading, they can be folded and stored under exhibition tables or on the side of the truck's trunk, saving both manpower and time.
