In today’s competitive retail landscape and with the rise of online shopping, the choice of shopping cart significantly impacts customer experience and brand perception. All-plastic shopping carts offer benefits that go beyond functionality, providing a high-end customer experience with their smooth and quiet operation and playing a crucial role in theft reduction. Sustainability is another key advantage, as Peggs’ all-plastic carts are 100% recyclable.
Simplified Repairs, Lower Maintenance Cost
The modular design and durable, custom-engineered polymer material keep carts aligned for a consistent shopping experience. Components are easily replaced on-site without the need of a service technician, avoiding typical metal cart issues, like welding, rust formation and misalignment. Non-porous and easy to wipe clean, they support high standards for hygiene, fostering customer trust and loyalty.
Theft Reduction
All-plastic carts greatly reduce wholesale theft and deliver immediate, measurable results. Unlike metal carts, they hold no scrap value, and the permanent, molded-in branding, along with store-specific colors, make them instantly recognizable and exclusive to a single retailer. One major retailer reported a decrease in cart loss from 40% to 7% annually after switching from metal to all-plastic carts.
Built for Branding
By permanently integrating logos and brand-specific color schemes directly into the cart’s mold, carts become high-visibility assets that are instantly recognizable by customers, enhancing brand presence throughout the store, both inside and out.
Rust-Proof
Built to withstand the elements, all-plastic carts won’t rust or chip—which is the main reason metal carts require replacing. They maintain their appearance and offer a versatile solution for any climate, including coastal regions, ensuring a much longer lifespan than metal.
A Symbol of Quality and Innovation
Customers routinely rate shopping experiences with all-plastic carts higher than with traditional metal carts. They are associated with upscale and innovative retail settings, signaling a premium shopping experience and enhancing brand perception.
Less Noise, Smooth Movement
Unlike metal carts that can rattle or clank, the quieter movement of all-plastic carts offers an improved shopping experience for customers, and the use of premium P&H SuperWheels ensures a smooth ride and easy maneuvering both inside and outside your stores.
Reduced Damage and Liability
All-plastic carts minimize damage to store fixtures and customer vehicles compared to metal carts, and for clothing and household goods stores, plastic is cleaner, rust-proof, and less likely to snag or harm garments.
Easy to Nest and Push
All-plastic carts maneuver, nest, and de-nest easily—improving accessibility and the shopper experience. Matrix features like Rolling Caster Lifts and Premium Wheels cut maintenance and labor costs, while smooth usability leaves a lasting impression.
Comfort and Customer Experience
From rounded edges to an ergonomic handle design, all-plastic carts prioritize customer comfort and foster a positive shopping experience. Optional built-in cup holders and mobile device holders create an efficient and enjoyable shopping experience.
Environmentally Friendly
Matrix carts and hand baskets are 100% recyclable, supporting corporate sustainability initiatives. Peggs offers assistance to retrieve and responsibly recycle carts at the end of their life.
All-plastic shopping carts are a smart investment for retailers aiming to enhance their brand and customer experience, and the new Matrix Series provides an opportunity to take these highly recognizable assets to the next level with custom basket patterns and unlimited colors. Learn more.
