Investigate supermarket trolleys: quantity determines quality Carrefour, and Wal-Mart shares large capacity.
The bigger the trolley, the better
In addition to the quantity, we found that the specifications of the supermarket shopping carts are different. The new century, heavy 100, Yonghui, heavy customer long carts are similar in size, and they are all small and light. According to the agent manager of Heavy Chiron, the metal trolleys they are equipped with are very small (approximately 40 to 50 cm wide, 1 meter long, and 40 cm deep), light in weight, and even some trolleys (trolley racks that can hold baskets).
Carrefour and Wal-Mart’s carts are larger, with a capacity of about 125 liters and heavier thrust.
However, there is no uniform preference for the size of the car.
“I usually shop less and buy more things at a time. Of course, the cart is bigger.” said Mr. Zeng, a Wal-Mart shopper. His car is a pile of paper rolls, washing powder, mops and other household items.
Wheelchair user shopping trolley
Some often go to the supermarket, especially the old customers are not interested in the big car, “can’t buy so many things, the car is big and difficult to push.
According to supermarkets, the size of shopping carts for wheelchair users depends on the actual use of customers. Stores such as Wal-Mart and Carrefour have a large area and a wide variety of goods. Many customers drive to buy daily necessities at a time, so the trolley must be big and strong enough.
Other supermarkets, especially community stores, are relatively small and frequented by a small car. The person in charge of Yonghui said that this is also related to the design and display of the store.
For example, according to the company’s manager, the trolley model requires two cars to pass side by side between the shelves, while a bicycle needs to be pushed to the checkout counter. Therefore, large shopping carts are not suitable for small stores.
