The Smart Shopping Cart Brake System is a simple, low-cost solution designed to stop carts from moving when not in use. With a durable, foot-activated wheel lock, this system prevents accidents before they happen, improving safety, reducing liability and creating a better parking lot experience.
Smart Engineering Solution
We developed a practical real world solution to solve stop runaway shopping carts to reduce liability from costing your business preventable expenses. Our product focus on a simple, cost effective system that reduces liability and enhances efficiency for your business. By combining mechanical simplicity with reliable performance with ease of use for the customers.
How Our Solution Works
Our system uses a foot actuated mechanical brake mounted to the cartwheel. When the pedal is depressed, a linkage forces a brake pad against the wheel, increasing friction and preventing rotation. Releasing the pedal disengages the pad, restoring normal wheel movement.
The design is fully mechanical, requiring no electronics, which improves durability, reduces cost, and ensures reliable operation in outdoor conditions.
