Important Tips for Shopping Trolley Safety and Maintenance

Shopping trolleys are durable, strong and they move as fast as you can push them, and this makes them potential accidents about to happen, especially if these are not maintained and stored securely. Ultimately, it is the owner's responsibility to take steps on-site to minimize risks, and no matter how well-made a shopping trolley is, improper maintenance and maltreatment is the main cause of injury and damage to property.

Avoid damage with proper storage – the main cause of shopping trolley wear and tear happens by daily rounding them up and transporting them to the storage area. So, workers who have this responsibility must be instructed in the proper ways to gather, transport and store them, as well as how to inspect these for damage.

It's true, damaged shopping trolleys leave a bad impression with customers, and if left unchecked for long, can do much damage to a store's image. Worse, it can cause potential injury to customers which is why maintenance of trolleys is so important.

Shopping trolley maintenance and repair – this is the best way for stores to protect their investment – shopping trolleys, to reduce the risk of failure and to protect the customers that use them. That is why SOS Retail Sales offers on-site trolley maintenance and repair services, which can include pick up of damaged trolleys and the delivery of new ones to replace them. This is a standard service for stores that choose to hire shopping trolleys, rather than buying them.

Ultimately, educating staff on trolley safety and use, and then establishing guidelines for them to follow when collecting, transporting and storing shopping trolleys, is the best way to limit wear and tear, and to avoid the risk of injury to customers.
