Polymer carts will withstand the Russian climate. A simple grocery cart is the first thing a customer touches when they arrive at the store. For many decades it was steel and clumsy, but no one noticed it. Today, retail sales are increasing and more and more small stores with narrow aisles are opening. The carts are not always located in the store itself, they "accompany" the buyer to the car, and then stay in the parking lot - usually in the open air. In these realities, carts must be lighter, more maneuverable and easier to stack. This means that new standards, design and materials are needed. Co-owner of the polymer commercial equipment manufacturer "Advertising" Mikhail Ponomarev noted: The design of the cart cannot be designed only for favorable conditions. It is necessary to take into account changes, precipitation, ultraviolet radiation and the effects of moisture and cleaning agents. Spare parts should be standard and readily available. The company supplies polymer carts to all 89 regions of Russia, where in the winter it can be -50 degrees Celsius in parking lots, and in the summer in the southern regions - up to +50 degrees Celsius, and the equipment must maintain its appearance upon leaving the factory. Considering that grocery carts spend a lot of time on the street, polymeric materials are more relevant. They don't rust, easier to deal with wet cleaning and outdoor storage, easier to move and store, and less likely to require repairs. And these are new opportunities to save, entertainment and advertising experts emphasized in a joint online seminar. FMCG reporting on Telegram | up to MAX.
