Compact Trolley
This 60 litre trolley is our smallest model available in stock. It is very popular with our convenience and farm shop customers as it is perfect where space is limited but a trolley is required. This size is mainly used in small supermarkets, convenience stores, farm shops and delis. Made from the highest quality wire resulting in a long lasting and easy to use trolley. A child seat is not available as standard in this trolley due to its small size, child seats are installed as standard on all other trolley models.
80 Litre Shallow Trolley
Also known as the shallow shopper or easy shopper this is one of our best sellers. Mainly because of its useful size but also because it is made from high quality materials and is very robust. This trolley has a shallow basket, so it is popular with users as it is easy to load and unload. It is important to have a range of trolley styles and sizes to suit all your customers' requirements.
120 Litre Medium Trolley
The 120 litre size is the first of the medium sized trolleys in our range. It is a very popular size with grocery stores. It has larger castors than the 100 litre trolley so it is even easier to use and can take up to 120kg whilst still being easy to manoeuvre around the store. This trolley is supplied with a child seat but can be supplied without on request.
Twin Toddler Seat Family Trolley with Brake
Family trolleys are important to have as a part of your fleet as this allows every customer to be able to shop in your store improving customer loyalty. This trolley is useful for users with twins or two children close in age. It is very strong and sturdy as it has to carry the extra weight of two children and the additional products it can fit. For all our family trolleys we use a 210 litre wire basket, which provides the customer with plenty of room for their purchases and a wide enough base to be stable and safe. They also come with a braked castor as standard which enhances the safety of this trolley and allows the customer to load and unload their trolley easily while keeping their children in one place.

Supermarket Trolleys
We stock in our UK warehouse new high quality Marsanz supermarket trolleys from the small 50 litre to the large 240 litre plus garden centre trolleys, family trolleys, sustainable trolleys, merchandisers and more.
Our Family Trolley range including the Plastic Moulded Baby Seat, Twin Toddler Seats, New-Born Cradle and Baby/Toddler Combination are all in line with current guidance by using the 210L trolley with braked castor as the base for each, large enough to be stable with the raised seats above the handles.
Marsanz are one of the top two European trolley manufacturers and they produce a fantastic product that meets all European safety standards. We keep a good stock in the UK and we have monthly deliveries from the factory so we can offer very short lead times even on branded trolleys.
Our trolleys are made to last and are easy to maintain, both attributes where some of our non-EU competitors fall short. For security we offer the Systec £1 Smartloc, again another European product that is hard wearing and meets all demands.
If you require a non-standard colour or branding applied to the handle then dependent on minimum volumes we can have trolleys manufactured to your requirements.
Reconditioned / Second-Hand Shopping Trolleys
Our reconditioned trolleys are fully serviced then they are re-plated and have new casters fitted. They are a great option for stores working to a budget or who need to match an existing trolley in their fleet. We have a standard range from 57L to 232L in stock but we do have a huge and ever changing variety available from stock trolleys and flat beds to garden centre trolleys and cages so do call or email with your requirements. We do also supply second-hand trolleys which we service but do not fully refurbish making these even less expensive.
Shopping Baskets
We offer a comprehensive choice of high quality wire and plastic hand baskets, trolley baskets and produce trays, so whatever you needs we have the products to meet them. All our baskets are from European manufacturers and meet the highest demands in standards, durability and design.
Formbar Ltd have added two other new baskets to the range. These are the 28 Litre Extra Capacity Great Basket and The Barcelona Trolley.
The 28 Litre Extra Capacity Great Basket is expected to prove popular with retailers. It is a strong, sturdy basket with a single handle lock mechanism for a comfortable grip. They are vertically stackable for neat storage and can be used with the Snupy Two Tier Basket Trolley.
The 54 litre Barcelona Trolley Basket provide ultimate quality and offer high capacity. The 4 castors underneath provide stability and two reinforced ergonomic handles give extra strength. The castors have a double ball bearing allowing for a smooth glide and the dust guards stop dirt from getting in, prolonging the life of the basket. A choice or 4 colours and customisation options are available.
