A nestable shopping cart has an upright frame, and a tray pivotally connected to the upright frame. The tray includes a utility position, a nested position, an inside, and an outside. Further included is a perimeter wire surrounding the tray and a tapered front. The perimeter wire surrounds the outside of the tray until the tapered front, and then the perimeter wire surrounds the inside of the tapered front.

A nestable shopping cart includes an upright frame, an upper angle support and a pair of tie bars extending out from the upright frame. A tray is pivotally connected to the upright frame. The tray includes a utility position and a nested position. The tray includes a tapered front and at least one side. A slope plate is mounted to at least one side of the tray. In the nested position, the nestable shopping cart is nested with another nestable shopping cart, resulting in a nesting gap of about 11 inches between the shopping carts.

A wheeled, pushable cart for transporting cargo that when not in use can be stacked or nested in telescoping fashion, and which can be used with carts having a base frame to which the wheels are attached, and various components, which can include one or more baskets, that are attached to the base frame. The manner in which the wheels are attached and arranged, and the orientation of the base frame, provide for increased storage and ease of access to the base frame and bottom shelf from the rear of the cart, and easy nesting (also referred to as stacking) of multiple carts in telescoping fashion when the carts are not in use.

The invention relates to a transport equipment with at least one transport device (1a) which is individualised by an identification mean, which has at least one goods depositing device and at least one handle and which can be stacked with respectively identical transport devices, wherein the transport equipment has at least two power-supplied electronic devices arranged on an identical and/or on different transport devices, of which at least one performs the function of a user interface and at least one performs the function of a detection device, and which each have integrated data-processing means and means for wireless data transmission. The invention is characterised in that each power-supplied electronic device can be individualised by at least one identification means using a machine-detectable identifier, in that the power-supplied electronic devices are arranged on the transport equipment in such a way that the spatial position of at least one further electronic device on the transport equipment can be determined by the at least one detection device, and in that the transport equipment is configured to determine the respective identifier and the respective spatial position on the transport device using the data-processing means and the means for wireless data transmission for at least two of the power-supplied electronic devices such that they can be assigned to one another. The invention also concerns a method for manufacturing, operating and maintaining the transport equipment.

A shopping cart includes a frame having a chassis portion and a handle portion extending upward from the chassis portion, a pair of front casters and a pair of rear casters mounted on the frame, and a basket connected to the frame and supported by the frame, the basket defining a chamber for holding articles, where the frame further includes a support structure connected to the chassis and the basket and supporting a portion of the basket. The shopping cart may include a number of wear resistance features that decrease the wear on the cart and extend the life of the shopping cart.

A trolley, for example for a supermarket, including at least one chassis, a load-bearing structure supported by the chassis, a suspension structure supported by the load-bearing structure configured to suspend at least one container. The trolley includes at least one measurement device at least partially carried by the suspension structure and for measuring at least one parameter relating to the weight of the at least one container when the container is suspended from the suspension structure.
