What is a shopping cart?
Definition: A <a href="http://www.tengtrolley.com/shopping-cart/"
target="_self">shopping cart on an online retailer's site is a piece of software
that facilitates the purchase of a product or service. It accepts the customer's
payment and organizes the distribution of that information to the merchant, payment
processor and other parties.
Why shopping carts are important
Shopping carts bridge the gap between shopping and buying, so having the best shopping
cart software is extremely important on your website.
It's likely that those just starting out in the market may be unfamiliar with the
concept. Most people, especially those in the ecommerce industry, have likely made a
purchase online at some point in their lives. That said, most consumers don't fully
realize the need and capability that shopping carts have (besides leading a customer to
checkout). A cart typically has three common aspects:
It stores product information
It's a gateway for order, catalog and customer management
It renders product data, categories and site information for user display
Another way to look at things is as follows: The online shopping cart is similar to
the tangible ones we use at the supermarket, but it wears many more hats. It's also
the shelves, the building, the clearance sign, the cash register and often the credit card
machine relaying information back to the bank.
What options are there?
For those seriously considering the ecommerce platform route, it's important to
know that there are two basic types of carts:
Hosted shopping carts: A third-party firm "hosts" the solution and is
responsible for server backups, maintenance and upgrades. The beauty of a hosted solution
is that hosting comes free, which means it doesn't cost anything for the third party
to keep your site functional on the Web. The main drawback with hosted solutions is that
customers will be directed to another domain for payment processing.
Licensed shopping carts: This type of solution allows business owners to build their
own type of cart and customize it to their specific needs. There is much greater
flexibility in changing features and functionality, as well as in adding third-party tools
if need be. However, the upfront costs are often higher and require more hands-on
expertise for troubleshooting issues and technical support.
Hosted solutions are often recommended for those who are beginning their own venture
because they require less technical expertise. That's not to say all new online retail
store owners aren't adept in IT, but a hosted solution may free up time to focus on
other aspects of operations. There are numerous providers of shopping cart software on the
market today, and companies must first evaluate their individual needs before making a
final decision on which solution is best for them.
The Best Stair Climbing Carts for Moving Heavy Loads
Between struggling with arm loads of grocery bags to lifting heavy luggage, hauling
things up the stairs can take a lot out of you. Stair climbing carts are designed to roll
weighty loads up the stairs, and can come especially in handy when you’re moving—rather
than carrying up one box at a time, you can stack them on the cart and roll them up at
once.
These trolleys have triple-sided wheels that allow the cart to climb over the rise of
each step, roll forward, and then ascend the next one. The best stair climbing cart
options have a comfortable and sturdy handle, so rolling it up the stairs won’t strain
your hand. Shoppers should consider the trolley size that will suit their needs, along
with weight capacity.
Our Top Picks
This guide narrows down the market to present recommendations for top-performing stair
climbing carts.
The winkeep Super Loading <a href="http://www.tengtrolley.com/folding-shopping-
cart/stair-climber-cart/" target="_self">Stair Climber Cart is a lightweight, sturdy
aluminum shopping cart, and you may be surprised by its weight capability: this trolley is
capable of handling 220 pounds of cargo. The cart only weighs only 8.8 pounds, so you can
tote more purchases, moving boxes, or whatever you plan on carrying. The cart can be used
as a standard hand truck for larger boxes or heavier objects. This winkeep model comes
with a waterproof large capacity travel bag that can be attached to the trolley. Its
padded handle makes pushing or pulling the cart comfortable and easy.
The Super Loading Stair Climber Cart features rubberized back tri-wheels that roll
smoothly over curbs, cobblestones, up flights of stairs, or through mud and sand. A stable
front stand prevents the loaded cart from toppling over while standing. For added
security, winkeep includes an adjustable bungee cord to secure your possessions to the
trolley.The entire cart folds flat for easy storage and is quite compact. Comfortable to
move on a variety of terrains and capable of pulling groceries, laundry, or boxes, the
Winkeep cart will make your trek up the stairs easier.
Finding a cart that won’t take up a ton of space in your home can be difficult. If
you’re parking your cart in the garage it may not matter, but when space is at a premium,
the fold-flat capability of the dBest Stair Climber Trolley will come in handy. If you’re
satisfied with a carrying capacity of 110 pounds, this cart is definitely worth
considering. Attaching the large weatherproof bag adds seven compartments, including a
large central compartment, front flap for small items, and a mesh beverage sleeve.

Shopping Carts are seen in almost every retail store in the United States. Whether you
are at a Grocery Store, Clothing Outlet, or a Shopping Center, chances are, you use a
shopping cart more often than you realize. Shopping Carts are used and abused daily.
Shopping Cart Wheels are exposed to extremely harsh environments from rolling over gravel,
hitting curbs, extreme hot and cold elements from being left outside, and even corrosive
weather and rain. Due to the repetitive, abusive environments, these wheels and casters
can take a beating and tend to wear much faster than most other casters and wheels. Being
a large Caster and Wheel <a href="http://www.tengtrolley.com/"
target="_self">manufacturer and wholesale distributor, we've seen many grocery
cart repair companies attempt to purchase the cheapest grocery cartwheels to make a quick
profit. This is a reason why many grocery cartwheels fail after a short period of time.
Quality is the utmost important factor and should always come first over shopping cart
casters and wheels.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans",
sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255,

font-size: 14px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"/>We have seen
the frustration when rolling a cart, and the wheel locks up or refuses to roll. This is
why Caster Headquarters only sells the highest quality Shopping Cart Casters and Wheels.
Our goal is to eliminate the lower-quality grocery cartwheels that have taken over the
industry. The leading manufacturer in Shopping Cart casters and Wheels is P&H Casters.
We have teamed up with PH Casters to provide the highest quality <a
href="http://www.tengtrolley.com/trolley-accessories/shopping-cart-caster/"
target="_self">shopping cart casters in the industry. What separates a P&H Caster
shopping cartwheel from the generic brands in the industry is 5 decades or half a century
of quality control and testing to make the perfect wheel to endure the harshest
environments. These wheels were made to last and perform from the special polyurethane
material on the tread combined with dual quad x precision bearings. This wheel is made to
outperform any other shopping cart wheel in the industry.<br style="box-sizing: border-
box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: normal;
background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"/><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family:
"Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: normal; background-color:
rgb(255, 255, 255);"/>When new shopping carts roll out of the production line, a PH Caster
and Wheel is typically used until the end of its life expectancy; then, many cart repair
companies replace it with an inferior wheel to make the most profit. That is the reason
there are so many carts in the industry with bad reputations. CasterHQ and PH Caster's
goal is to standardize all Shopping Carts in the USA with the highest quality shopping
cart-wheel in the world. The benefits of using our products are superior performance and
increased longevity. In return, this encourages shoppers to come back and use your store
more frequently because of the ease of mobility and quality offered for every shopper. The
smallest details make the biggest differences, especially regarding ergonomics in simple
tasks such as pushing a cart. If you have ever been to Target, you should automatically
recognize how easy it is to push their carts. You will never run into a problem with the
wheels or the performance when rolling their grocery carts. This is due to the P&H
Caster wheels that we supply to the Target stores. As you can see, Target has realized
early on that quality keeps the customers coming back. Whether providing a clean
environment or a grocery cart that is easy to roll, they know quality matters.<br

border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space:
normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"/>Some stores where our casters and wheels
can be seen include Target, Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, Kroger, HEB, Kohls, Ross,
Macy's, JC Penny, Sams Club, Costco, Ace Hardware, etc. many more big-name retailers.
Remember, our casters and wheels are on the new carts. Still, as cart repair companies
replace worn-out wheels, they use lower-quality casters and wheels to reduce performance
and usability. If you are a shopping cart repair company or an employee replacing the
casters and wheels, make sure to use the original, highest-quality shopping cart casters
and wheels in the industry. Trust Caster Headquarters when it comes to grocery cartwheels
and casters.
