Avoid Accidents by Doing a Service Check to Your Trolley Wheels and Handles
December 17, 2018Regular shopping trolley maintenance is an important part of managing retail stores, especially for large shopping malls, grocery stores, and home depots. The reason why trolley maintenance is important is to avoid accidents that can cause damage to property and injury to people.
One of the main reasons why shopping trolleys get involved in accidents is when they are not managed properly. Mismanaged shopping trolleys are accidents just waiting to happen, as the lack of regular maintenance and repair increases the likelihood of an accident occurring. And in the case of large shopping trolley fleets, the chance of accidents happening increases substantially.
With trolley management services, shopping trolleys are not only inspected and check daily, and repaired as need, but their whereabouts are also monitored throughout the day. When shopping trolleys are not properly monitored they can end up missing, or left in places that can become obstacles to vehicles and customers, or become the cause of various types of disasters.
Even when shopping trolleys are regularly monitored and brought from the parking lot back into the store, after customers are finished using them to unload the items they purchased into their cars, the poor condition of trolley wheels and handles can also be a source of accidents.
A Service Check to Trolley Wheels and Handles can Prevent Accidents
Shopping trolleys that have broken wheels, or wheels that do not function properly, can cause accidents and injuries when customers or workers use them. When trolley wheels do not function properly, and it becomes difficult to push and pull them because the wheels are stuck in position or do not rotate freely, it can cause an overexertion/strain injury or cause the cart to jolt in an unintended direction and hit someone or something.
When it comes to maintaining shopping trolleys, handles are often overlooked. In fact, trolley handles should be a top priority, as they can become bacteria ridden and cause anyone who touches them to get sick. That is why it is recommended for retail stores to provide CitrusWirx sanitation wipes so that shoppers and store employees can clean shopping trolley handles before using them.
Retail store owners and managers can avoid accidents and problems by simply hiring a trolley management service to monitor, maintain, and repair their shopping trolleys as needed. If you want to make sure that your shopping trolleys don’t become a hazard, then hire professional trolley management services from SOS Retail Sales.
