Metal Shopping Cart: The Complete FAQ Guide
Our metal shopping cart experts took the time to answer some of the frequently asked questions from various supermarkets and grocery stores.
For more information about products, the company, or shipping, you can also check out our other FAQs!
What is The Shopping Cart?
What Is The Idea Behind The Design of The Grocery Cart With Swivel Wheels?
The shopping cart was Sylvan Goldman’s idea, an American supermarket owner who thought of making customers buy more goods at his Humpty Dumpty Stores.
The metal frame was designed to resemble a folding chair that can hold two shopping baskets to double the number of products it could contain, it’s more like a 2 basket shopping cart today.
In 1946, seven years after Sylvan had invented the trolley, Orla Watson developed a design hinged back panel to enable the carts to nest together for more comfortable transportation and storage.
That was the beginning of the Telescope Trolley and has remained in with this design until today.
The only significant addition to the metallic shopping cart after the Telescoping model is the fold-down seat for kids added in 1954. Know more about the history.
What Metal Are Shopping Carts Made of?
Many customers asked, what kind of metal are shopping carts made of?
Chinese shopping carts are made of Q235 steel material to make them more durable, and affordable, and provide value for money to supermarkets.
These units are also treated with colored powder coating or zinc plating plus transparent powder coating to prevent rust and corrosion.
Steel is known to be friendly to the environment due to its simple manufacturing process, lightweight nature, and recyclable features.
How Much Are Shopping Carts Worth?
The standard cart can cost anything from EUR 30 to EUR 60, while a higher quality or a unique model can cost between EUR 120 to EUR 180.
There are some more advanced versions with unique features and special materials like child seats or Tente wheels that can cost you over EUR 200.
One thing to recall when it comes to a trolley’s worth is you also invest in security systems to prevent theft and withdrawal of your carts.
How Much Is A Walmart Shopping Cart Worth?
The Walmart Shopping Cart is a 212L big capacity grocery cart with heavy-duty load-bearing, with two fixed and two swivel wheels, with special plastic corner bumpers and vertical protectors.
It cost 85-95USD per cart FOB price from China, depending on your target quantity, but not every factory is able to provide the original Walmart shopping cart, only those who passed the Walmart Factory Audit, and can always rely on Walmart’s quality control system.
Are Shopping Carts Carriers of Bacteria?
Some people use the supermarket’s disinfecting wipes while others pick up the trolley and go on with their shopping.
But should you use them?
Do these carts carry bacteria?
Different studies have shown that shopping carts carry many bacteria on the handle and other surfaces frequently touched by users.
These bacteria can range from Salmonella to E. Coli and Campylobacter and cause illnesses like nausea, diarrhea, fever, abdominal pain, and headache.
Studies have shown that the number of bacteria on shopping trolleys is higher than that found in public washrooms.
It is also a concern when someone with the flu or cold touches the shopping basket or cart because these germs can survive on the trolley for 2-8 hours.
At Redsheep, we recommend supermarkets encourage their shoppers to sanitize their hands and handles before using the carts and their hands after using them.
We also recommend the supermarkets clean these shopping gear regularly.
How to Sanitize Metal Shopping Carts?
Both the supermarkets and customers can sanitize the metal shopping carts to reduce the risk of getting infected by different bacteria.
The supermarkets should consider providing sanitary wipes to customers at the shopping trolleys’ holding area to allow for a quick wipe.
It is a simple process that involves wiping the handle and other areas such as the baby seat.
For supermarkets, you can sanitize your shopping carts in two main ways:
- Car Wash Disinfection. The process involves passing the trolleys through a ”car wash” of sanitizing mist.
- Ultraviolet Light Zap. It is a developing technology that can kill bacteria using ultraviolet light.
- The cable for locking and unlocking the wheel is installed underground in the parking area
- The wheel picks the secure RF signal from the cable when the cart moves past the designated area and locks
- It unlocks when the trolley is driven toward the supermarket
- The wheel lock smoothly to prevent wear and tear
The other option is to invest in coin lock systems, where the customer inserts one or several coins to unlock a trolley.
They get their money back when they return the trolley to the locking area.
How Often Are Metal Shopping Carts Cleaned?
Washing the supermarket shopping equipment can be cumbersome, but it should be done regularly and effectively, For example, once a week or two weeks.
It is a process that eliminates grime, bacteria, unhygienic deposits, dirty fingerprints, and other build-ups from environmental pollutants and sweaty hands.
You can clean your grocery trolleys using a steam pressure washing system, a powerful cleaning machine that removes germs and dirt from surfaces.
We recommend using portable steam pressure washers to provide heated steam at a high temperature and pressure quickly.
You are guaranteed to get sanitized, hygienic, and clean shopping carts with no grime, dirt, or bacteria.
Note that you can also use a cold pressure washer but remember to add eco-friendly cleaning chemicals or soap to the water to remove bacteria.
How Many Metal Grocery Shopping Carts Does A Grocery Store Have?
They offer large models for family use, small ones for convenient store use, and beautiful small metal shopping carts.
But how many metal grocery shopping carts should every store or outlet have?
Follow this guide when determining the right number of grocery carts with swivel wheels to place in your outlet:
500-1500 M2 Store – Small Boutiques
These stores also include neighborhood market stores, and this is what Redsheep experts recommend:
- 20-50pcs of the lightweight shopping cart
- 50-100pcs of the best or standard shopping trolley
- 10pcs of the quality kid size metal shopping carts
- 10pcs of high-standard baby cart
- 5pcs of the heavy-duty basket shopping cart
1500-3000 M2 Store – Medium Convenience Stores
They include convenience and fresh-product market stores located around schools and communities. We recommend the following:

- 100-150pcs of 80 liters shopping trolley
- 20pcs quality toddler metal shopping carts

Do Shopping Carts Really Lock?
Yes. Shopping carts lock when you use the right technologies such as lockable wheels and coin-locking systems.
RedSheep security experts recommend all supermarket owners request wheel-locking technology when placing their order for the metal shopping trolleys.
It is a technology that involves replacing one of the trolley’s wheels with a locking wheel to prevent the shoppers from taking the cart beyond a certain point in the parking lot.
The wheel locks whenever someone tries to take the cart beyond that point, and it unlocks when they take it behind the line.
Here are things to note about the wheel-lock system:
Standard Metal Rolling Shopping Cart Dimensions
RedSheep Chinese shopping carts come in various sizes to meet users’ needs and serve the smallest and largest supermarket and grocery stores.
These models can range from under 60 liters models of 30” by 18.3” by 37.8” to over 275 liters of 42.1” by 25.3” x 41.3”.
Standard models often used by many shoppers can hold about 100 liters and measure around 34.6” by 20.3” by 38”.
Standard metal shopping carts require a wheel with a diameter of around 4” and can use one or two ball bearings.
Are There Various Sizes of Metal Shopping Carts?
You can find different sizes of metal shopping trolleys to meet your customers’ and supermarket’s needs.
We have outlined some of the standard sizes of European shopping carts you can find out there (which you can also order at Redsheep).
How Much Does A Metal Shopping Cart Weigh?
There are multiple metal shopping trolley options, with each unit weighing differently, depending on the size, volume, and carrying capacity.
Take the European shopping carts, for example, the small size of about 60 liters can weigh around 10 kg including wheels(about 2kg for each), with the larger models of about 275 liters weighing 25 kg including wheels(about 2.5kg for each).
Most metal shopping cart weight is about 15 kg, the standard weight of these European shopping gears. American shopping carts are much heavier.
Why is Metal Shop Cart a Good Option?
Supermarket carts made of metal are a good option for various reasons, such as:
Easy to Fix
You can quickly fix a damaged metal cart compared to restoring a plastic one.
For example, it is easier to mend a broken part with welding or other material.
The plastic model can take a long to repair and even cost you a lot of money.
Affordable – Low Price

The price might be low, but they still provide quality services like plastic ones.
Easy to Customise

It is a feature that enables the supermarket to choose the products that will meet their needs and make their stores more attractive and profitable.

What Colours Are Your Wire Shopping Cart Available in? Like Black Metal Shopping Cart or Pink Metal Shopping Cart？
We allow our customers to choose and customize their cart’s color to match their brand and customers’ needs and themes.
We also have some general guidelines for the surface treatment you can get on the market today, which are:
Zinc Plating plus Transparent Powder Coated Treatment. We have adopted this popular method at Redsheep, and it provides non-rust and non-corrosive trolleys.
The approach leaves a beautiful surface that remains in good condition for a long time.
You also get a product that is anti-freezing, anti-high temperature, and anti-ultraviolet.
We use colored powder coating for the child-size metal shopping carts to give you units that attract children to your supermarket.
Powder coating. It is the most affordable surface treatment and comes in grey or white.
The spray does not prevent corrosion and rust without the zinc plating and is not the most attractive out there.
Chrome Plating. The treatment method provides a good-looking and bright shopping cart.
Sadly, it is the most expensive of all the above options, and the process is more ease to get rusted because it’s thinner than Zinc plating plus powder coating.
Some stores like black wire shopping carts, while others prefer pink wire shopping carts, depending on the different concepts of your store.
What Types of Shopping Cart Wheels Are Available?
When you are buying shopping carts, the variety of wheels for shopping carts on the market today is as wide as the supermarket shopping trolleys.
Our store carries only the best wheels to ensure you get value for money when you buy a replacement one.
We also encourage you to specify the type of trolley wheel you would need for your carts when placing the order by contacting our team.
Below we have a list of the standard wheels you can get for your baskets on wheels shopping units:
PVC Wheels. PVC wheels are among the cheapest option out there and are made from polyvinyl chloride material.
PU Wheels. These are among the most durable wheels you can find out there and are made from polyurethane material.
They provide excellent oil and wear resistance, excellent load-bearing, longer lifespan, and are incredibly elastic.
PU wheels have a con in that they produce noise.
TPE Escalator Wheels. TPE stands for Thermo-Plastic Elastomer and is a material that offers high resilience, strength, and elasticity.
The wheel is ideal for injection molding technology and is non-toxic to the environment.
It is also a soft, safe wheel with superb resistance to temperature, weather, fatigue, and vulcanization, and is easy to recycle.
The Escalator wheels come in four models: 1 Disk, 2 Disk, 3 Disk, and 4 Disk. 1 Disk is the most affordable, with the 4 Disk being the most expensive.
TPR Wheels. TPR means Thermo-Plastic Rubber, but this wheel also contains SBS material to make it more flexible.

You can opt to pick a variety of these wheels, like:
- Wheels without a ball bearing
- Wheels with single ball bearing
- Wheels with double ball bearings

- Wheels without brake
- 3”(75mm) diameter wheels
- 4”(100mm) diameter wheels

How Many Printing Services Are Available for Metal Super Shopping Cart?
A wire shopping cart requires a special type of printing when adding the logo or phrases on the basket.
At Redsheep, we use two main types of printing, as seen below:
Silk Printing on Handles. The technique allows for a silkscreen graphic on panels, parts, and enclosures with powder coating or metal finish.
We use this technique to add your logo to the cart’s handle.
And we use only long-lasting epoxy-based inks to guarantee you a quality finish and a high resolution.
You can always request color customization to meet your brand’s needs or theme.
Front Plastic Ad Panels. These are back-printed signs made of plastic foils we add to your buying shopping carts.
Your logo or phrase appears between the foil and the metallic part to protect this print from water, and chemicals and make it durable.
What to Do with An Old Shopping Cart?
You might be wondering what to do with the worn-down and old metal shopping trolleys and shopping baskets when you replace them.
Here we have some solutions for all your old carts:
Sell to Other Stores or Companies. Old shopping carts might be past their prime, but this does not mean they are broken or useless. You can sell them to small businesses and other stores looking for affordable used shopping carts.
Transfer them within the Brand. Your supermarket might have a smaller branch that can use these units deemed out of date.
Sell them as Scraps or Parts. Some trolleys might have past their useful life and can only be sold as scrap metals or parts, like child seats, wheels, and others.
Have them Repaired/Recycled. It is the most environmentally friendly way to get rid of old and broken metallic carts.
Reuse in other Ways. Artists can find a way to bend the metal and create attractive sculptures you can sell to your customers. Some can even be transformed into chairs.
