Caroline‘s Cart: Maintenance

Maintenance and Safety Inspection Recommendations

 Due to normal wear and tear of Caroline’s Carts, it is imperative that routine inspections 

and preventative maintenance be performed to assure continued safe operation of your carts. 
Wanzl/Technibilt recommends Caroline’s Carts be inspected, cleaned, and if necessary, 
repaired a minimum of every six months by a qualified service company. Simple visual 
inspections by store personnel should be performed daily on all carts. Remove Caroline’s Cart 
from service if it is found to be damaged or if it fails one or more safety inspection criteria 
until repair or replacement can be made.

Periodic Physical Inspection

 

A qualified service company will have a specific procedure 
for inspecting and repairing shopping carts. The procedure 
should include, but not be limited to, the following 
recommendations. Parts should be repaired or replaced as 
required. All carts should show proof of inspection (i.e., 
inspection sticker).

 

Check the overall cart condition. Check for broken welds, 
bent parts, and missing parts. Assure that all moving 
parts are working properly. 

 

Check seat belts. Assure all seat belts are working 
correctly and are properly secured to carts. Replace belts 
every three years.

 

Check wheels and casters. Casters and wheels should 
swivel and turn freely. Assure casters and wheels are 
properly secured to carts.

 

Keep carts clean.

 

Check for missing or damaged accessories.

 

Check and test all three brakes to ensure all are working 
properly.
