Who likes squeaky shopping carts?

 

No one... ever.

Nothing is more annoying to your customers 

- and damaging to your floors -

than squeaky shopping carts.

What causes the squeaking?

If the caster is not aligned correctly it will cause wobbling, and over time, squeaking. 

It might be the age of the casters - shopping cart wheels have an average life span of 2 years - improper installation, or usage of the caster at high speeds.

So how do I fix this?

Regularly clean your carts. Remove large debris by hand, then wash with hot water. Power washers are recommended. This also helps reduce rusting and prolongs the life of your carts. After cleaning inspect your carts and repair minor problems like a damaged bumper or a loose handle.

If your casters are still squeaky after you wash them, lubricate them.

If your casters are rusty or broken beyond repair, replace the wheels. Shopping cart wheels and casters have an average lifespan of two years.
