Maintaining shopping cart casters is an important part of owning a business. Whether it’s a grocery store, hardware store, electronics store, department store or other business, shopping carts are a key element for providing a positive and safe shopping experience. Using quality shopping cart casters can result in less frequent wheel replacements, fewer accidents, and most importantly, a safer environment for shoppers and employees.
Broken or damaged shopping cart casters increase the risk of the following hazards:
Harming Customers and Employees – Shopping carts with busted wheels are difficult to steer. Trying to guide faulty carts, especially ones that are heavy or particularly unruly, can result in accidents. Users may strain muscles when attempting to pull or push carts, or lose control of the cart and run into bystanders.
Collisions with Items – Your products and property are at risk when carts cannot be steered correctly. With breakable items, it is important to ensure boxes are protected and not jostled around. A sharp turn or collision can result in knocking over items, breaking merchandise in the cart or damaging the aisles where products are stored. When wheels lock or are dragged against the ground, these can also end up scuffing the floor.
Damaging other cars – In addition to being a liability for your business, low quality or broken shopping cart casters can also become a nuisance, causing a domino effect of problem carts. One cart with a wheel askew can collide with other carts and incapacitate more caster wheels. Also, the life on low quality casters is shorter, requiring frequent maintenance.
Quickly replace or fix loose and damaged shopping cart caster wheels before putting people, property and parts are risk.
