Quality Shopping Baskets and Carts for Retail Stores

Quality retail baskets and carts start with the right size and material for your store. Cart Source manufactures a full lineup of retail shopping carts and hand baskets - plastic hand baskets, rigid hand baskets, matching basket stands, and nesting shopping carts from compact to high-capacity - built for daily retail use.

Hand baskets

Plastic hand baskets (PHB series) from 21 to 34 liters are light and stackable for grocery and convenience formats. Rigid hand baskets (RHB series) from 30 to 52 liters use polypropylene, glass-filled nylon, or aluminum handles for heavier loads. Matching basket stands (HBS series) dispense baskets at the entrance.

Shopping carts

Nesting shopping carts range from a compact 3,000-cubic-inch cart to a 24,000-cubic-inch high-capacity cart, with child-seat and specialty configurations. Match capacity to your basket-trip length and nesting depth to your corral and entry space.

How to choose

Pair hand baskets at the entrance with the right cart size for your format: 9,500 to 16,000 cubic inches for standard grocery and discount, smaller express carts for convenience, and larger carts for supercenter and bulk. Every line is customizable to your stores.
