Using the wrong carts for retail and grocery picking may cost you.
Imagine trying to pick six orders at once with a tight timeline during peak shopping hours. Do you want your customer’s orders jumbled together? Do you want to struggle with a Titanic shopping cart?
Neither do your team members.
Carts engineered for your space, your product and your terrain enable faster, more accurate picking. Give your team the right carts for your job.
Cannon knows retail and grocery picking
Grocery carts are not typically suited to the needs or e-comm picking. They lack dividers, they aren’t configured for totes, and they may not fit as much product as a tailored e-comm solution. The Cannon team helps our customers skyrocket e-comm picking efficiency with tailor-made e-comm carts.
“We needed a piece of equipment that would work for selecting, staging, and car side,” says Justin Jenkins, Project Manager at Kroger. “Cannon, they knew about e-commerce. This is something that needs to be very much more industrial, stronger, for a more specific use.”
Jenkins brought his problem to the Cannon Equipment Team. “Cannon solved that by creating a new runway cart. It’s easy to maneuver, it’s lighter, and it can just fit our product. It’s just an all-around better piece of equipment.”

Right-sized carts to fit your products, your space
The right cart is maneuverable in your space. Oversized carts are like driving a barge through a crowded store. Cannon Equipment’s expert designers will review your space needs to determine the ideal cart that can easily be maneuvered in your storerooms, the back of the house, your aisles, and anywhere else you need to go.
The right cart fits your product. If it’s too small, team members will waste time going back and forth to fulfill the pick. If it’s the wrong shape, it won’t properly fit your e-comm picking totes. If the shelves are too high, team members won’t be able to see over product. The Cannon team will review your processes and equipment and configure a cart to suit your e-comm business needs.
Right materials to suit your environment
If your carts don’t suit your facility’s environment, they won’t last. Reduce your repairs and maintenance costs with wheels and bearings that stand up to your terrain.
The wrong tires are not just a maintenance headache. “Wheel material is crucial,” says Jeff Stutz, a long-time sales representative at Cannon. “The wrong wheels can sound like a freight train coming down the aisle.”
If carts will be carrying products in trailers, they must be built to handle dynamic loads. If they’re going to be wheeled curbside, shelving and wheels must be beefed up to accommodate outdoor usage on asphalt and uneven terrain.
