Shopping Trolley Supplied at Wholesale Volume

This page is for buyers ordering shopping trolleys by the carton rather than the unit: importers, marketplace sellers and retail chains building a trolley range. The product is the climbing trolley described below; the difference is how it is supplied.

Specification

Item	Medium	Large
Capacity	35 L	50 L
Shipping weight	7 kg	9 kg
Body material	Virgin PP
Trolley handle	Aluminium
Wheels	2 climbing wheels + 2 spinner wheels

What a wholesale buyer needs to know first

Three numbers decide whether a trolley programmes makes money: the shipping weight, the carton count per pallet, and the failure rate on the wheel assembly. The first two are on this page. On the third, the relevant design decision is that the climbing wheels sit at the loaded end and the spinners at the light end, so the load path runs through the stronger pair rather than the more delicate one.

Shipping weights of 7 kg and 9 kg are the figures to quote when a marketplace listing asks for item weight. Quoting the product weight instead causes a carrier surcharge later.

Why virgin PP matters at volume

At sample level, regrind and virgin PP look the same. At container level they do not: regrind is where corner cracks appear after a few weeks of handling, and a cracked trolley is a return rather than a repair. Virgin PP keeps the wall thin enough to stay light while holding its shape under repeated point loads.

Two sizes in one order

35 L and 50 L run the same wheel layout and the same aluminium handle, so a range can be built from one programme. The size decision is about the shopper, not the specification: the medium is a weekly shop, the large is bulk buying and laundry.

Channel fit

Shopping trolleys sell through marketplace listings, supermarket seasonal aisles and home goods retail. All three want the same things: a listing weight that matches the carton, a body that arrives intact, and a wheel assembly that a customer can replace without tools.
