In a supermarket, a shopping trolley is used hundreds of times every week and is subjected to continuous use, both inside the store and throughout the car park.
Shopping trolleys endure far more than most people realise. Throughout the day they move in and out of the store, travel across the car park, suffer knocks and remain exposed to rain, sunlight, humidity and changing temperatures. Over time, all of these factors take their toll on retail equipment, affecting both its appearance and its service life.
For this reason, the choice of materials is a key factor. The P100 basket is manufactured from polypropylene copolymer, while the chassis is made from polyamide 6 reinforced with 20% fibre. This combination prevents the corrosion issues associated with other materials and helps keep the trolley in service for longer, even in demanding retail environments. In addition, the plastic maintains an attractive appearance with minimal maintenance.
The P100 also stands out for its lightweight design. Customers can manoeuvre it with ease, enhancing the shopping experience, while store staff benefit from easier trolley collection, organisation and transport, helping to streamline daily operations.
With a capacity of 100 litres, its dimensions allow it to move comfortably through store aisles without feeling bulky. This balance between capacity and manoeuvrability makes it easier to navigate the store and is particularly beneficial in supermarkets with narrow aisles or high customer traffic.
The advantages of the P100 are clear
In practice, a trolley that withstands the test of time requires fewer replacements, generates fewer wear-related incidents and therefore reduces the costs associated with maintaining the trolley fleet. This is an advantage not only for day-to-day operations but also for the long-term return on investment in retail equipment.
The P100 has been developed with precisely this objective: to deliver consistent performance over many years, even in environments where continuous use and demanding standards of strength, functionality and durability are part of everyday operations.
