Anyone who's ever pushed a shopping cart knows how
frustrating it can be when the wheels don't work properly. The shopping cart
casters you choose have a big impact on customer experience. Here's a list of
things to look for:
1. Effortless glide. The quality of
casters determines how smoothly a cart glides through the aisles. It's
worthwhile to spend a little more money on higher quality casters to ensure
your customers have the best possible experience.
2. Non-marking. The great thing about
casters that provide an effortless glide is they are also non-marking.
Polyurethane wheels are an excellent choice when you want to protect your
floors from scuffs and marks while also delivering optimal performance.
3. Anti-microbial. Because shopping carts
come into contact with food, Albion
casters with anti-microbial properties are a must. Anti-microbial wheels
help suppress the growth of microbes which in turn helps control not only
bacteria but also fungi, mildew, mold and odors. The anti-microbial compound is
part of the wheel material itself, not simply a coating, so the caster wheel maintains
anti-microbial properties throughout the lifetime of its service.
4. Durability. Shopping carts are pushed
over a variety of surfaces both inside a store and outside in a parking lot.
Because of the heavy use a shopping cart receives, durability is extremely
important. Investing a higher quality, more durable wheel means having to
replace those wheels less frequently.
5. Anti-static. No one likes to get zapped
with static electricity while shopping. You can spare your customers a shock by
using anti-static wheels on your carts. With anti-static wheels, the static
electricity is discharged with every rotation of the wheel, ensuring a zap-free
shopping experience for your customers.
Keep these five things in mind when selecting shopping
cart casters and your customers will be sure to appreciate it.
