For People With A Disability
Special electronic shopping carts are provided by many retailers for the elderly or people with a disability. These are essentially electric wheelchairs with an attached basket. They allow customers to navigate around the store and collect groceries.
Manually powered trolleys are also available specifically designed for use by wheelchair users. A still to be implemented aid for people with disabilities is the addition of a guide wheel at the centre of rotation of a trolley with 4 caster wheels. In order to allow the nesting of trolleys to be unhindered this guide wheel is attached to the front of the trolley with a piece of spring steel which bends under the cart's weight.

Famous quotes containing the word people:
“The chief lesson of the Depression should never be forgotten. Even our liberty-loving American people will sacrifice their freedom and their democratic principles if their security and their very lives are threatened by another breakdown of our free enterprise system. We can no more afford another general depression than we can afford another total war, if democracy is to survive.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
