Shopping Cart Repair Basic

[@helifynoe9930]

I repaired my foldable cart. It needed new back wheels. So I bought some lawnmower wheels. But they had an axle hole diameter of 0.500", while the cart has axle diameters of 0.375". Fortunately, I had just replaced the brass seats in my bathroom and kitchen taps, and now had the chance to put these old ones to good use. The brass seats have an internal diameter of 0.375" and an external threaded diameter of just over 0.50". So I screwed one brass seat into each side of each lawnmower wheel. Now the wheels had the proper 0.375" axle hole diameter. I also had added plastic cardboard sheets to the sides, front and back and floor, of the foldable cart, but had to fold the side panels out of the way when folding the cart. To hold the side panels in place when open, I used strong magnets taken from two old dead computer hard drives. LOL

Glad to see I’m not the only pissed off handy dad out there who decided to get a job to fix the things that bothers him most… that damn wobbly wheel on the cart… 😂

Hi, I may be getting a job repairing carts. I noticed sometimes that the gatekeeper locking wheels don't unlock or don't want to lock when brought off the property; is there any way to fix them?

[@Monroe1516]

better to nest three or four carts together and use some balls to flip then up. save some space- from an x cart tech.

[@Appleboy78165]

This is oddly satisfying to watch.

OUTSTANDING!!

[@jimicapone]

If you're unscrewing the nut from the front wheel and the bolt moves when you try, is there some way to keep the bolt from turning?

[@elcoragrande]

They usually have a spline to prevent them from turning.

[@Monroe1516]

use some flat jaw vice grips if it turns

[@jimicapone]

@@Monroe1516 I will try that, thanks

As a shopping cart technician replacing the PNH caster wheels I don’t understand why he is setting up 10 carts in a row it’s almost quicker just to work on one cart at a time it is not always when the wheel comes off so easily you having to cut them off with a sawsall or a grinder he must get paid for each cart he is doing. What about the Gatekeeper wheels wowww

[@michaelcrandall7691]

When you have up to 100/200 carts out of service and only given a certain amount of time to do it, yes multiple carts at one time is the way to go. One cart at a time you would be there for days.
