Reducing Shopping Cart Loss and Theft: The Anti-Tilt Bar (ATB)

The patented Cart Source Anti-Tilt Bar (ATB) keeps shopping carts stable and harder to remove from the property, reducing cart loss, theft, and store liability. It is a Cart Source-manufactured anti-theft solution made in North America that complements perimeter cart-containment systems.

Shopping cart loss is a real cost for retailers. Replacing a single retail cart can run into the hundreds of dollars, and stray carts create liability and neighborhood-nuisance complaints. Reducing loss protects the capital you invest in your fleet and keeps carts on-site where shoppers can use them.

Because Cart Source designs and manufactures its carts in-house in North America, the patented Anti-Tilt Bar and other anti-theft features can be specified as part of a new cart order or a fleet refresh, alongside customization to your store brand.
