Description
Tango Shopping Trolley with Seat
The Tango Shopping Trolley is a stylish four-wheel shopping trolley with a built-in padded seat, designed to make shopping trips, days out and everyday errands easier and more comfortable.
Unlike a traditional pull-along shopping trolley, the Tango is designed to be pushed in front of the user, helping provide improved control and keeping the trolley within sight. Its generous 40-litre shopping bag, integrated seat, locking rear brakes and configurable front wheels make it a practical companion for shopping centres, supermarkets and everyday town use.
The distinctive Union Jack bag design adds personality to the practical four-wheel frame, making this version ideal for users who want a shopping trolley that looks less clinical and more contemporary.
Push-Style Shopping Trolley for Better Control
The Tango has been developed from the traditional two-wheel pull-along shopping trolley by changing the way it is used. Instead of pulling the trolley behind you, the Tango is pushed in front, which can improve control and stability while also keeping your shopping within your line of sight. This design can make busy shops, pavements and pedestrian areas easier to negotiate.
Built-In Padded Seat
A major advantage of the Tango is its integrated padded resting seat. The padded lid of the shopping bag doubles as a seat, while a back support strap provides additional comfort when taking a break. The seat is approximately 550 mm / 55 cm high, making it relatively easy for many users to sit down and stand back up.
100 kg Maximum User Weight
The Tango seat supports users weighing up to 100 kg / approximately 15.7 stone. The maximum user weight must not be exceeded.
Large 40-Litre Shopping Bag
The Tango provides a generous 40-litre bag capacity, making it suitable for groceries, personal belongings and everyday shopping. The bag has a maximum stated load of: 15 kg This gives the Tango significantly more carrying capacity than many compact shopping trolleys.
Union Jack Design
The Union Jack finish gives the Tango a distinctive and colourful appearance.
Height-Adjustable Handle
The Tango has a padded, adjustable handle height of approximately 890–990 mm. This enables the pushing position to be adjusted for different users. A padded handle also improves comfort during longer shopping trips.
Single Easy-Access Brake Handle
The Tango uses a clever single brake mechanism that follows the curve of the main handle. This design can be especially useful for users who find separate left and right brake levers inconvenient.
Lockable Rear Brakes
The rear brakes can be locked in position when the user wants to sit down. The trolley should always be stationary on a suitable level surface with the brakes correctly applied before using the seat.
Configurable Front Wheels
The double front wheels can be configured according to the user’s preferred manoeuvrability.
- Fixed facing forwards
- Set to pivot through 180°
- Set to swivel through 360°
The 360° setting can be particularly useful in supermarkets and other tighter indoor spaces, while a more restricted wheel setting may provide a straighter feel outdoors.
Solid Puncture-Proof Tyres
The Tango shopping trolley has olid front and rear tyres, removing the risk of conventional pneumatic punctures. The wheel diameter is approximately 140 mm
Folding Design
The Tango folds down for easier storage and transportation. Once folded, the trolley is designed to stand independently, making it convenient to store at home. It may also fit into many suitable car boots, depending on the vehicle’s available space.
NB: The Tango Trolley Is Not a Walking Aid
Although it has four wheels, brakes and a seat, it should not be relied upon to support body weight while walking. Users who require physical walking support should consider an appropriate rollator or walking frame instead.
