A trolley shelter can be an invaluable asset for your business. If you have any form of retail premises, a sheltered place for customers to store and retrieve trolleys can be a great investment. It can provide you with a boost to your brand image, as well as ensure your trolleys are kept in better condition for longer.

But how do you know which is the right one for you?

How much space do you have available?

This is the first thing you should think about, and it can be the only thing that determines the right trolley shelter for your business. There are several different trolley shelter configurations available, depending on the size of the space you have available. This should be a primary consideration, as it’s the easiest way to decide which trolley shelter is right for you. If you only have a relatively small space available, for example, then an Eco trolley shelter will be your best bet. If you have more space, you can start thinking about other considerations.

How many trolleys do you have/need?

Another key consideration is the size of your business and the volume of customers you have. If you have a relatively small retail business with a limited number of trolleys, you simply won’t need a large trolley shelter. A larger retail business with a higher footfall, and more trolleys used by customers, will need a larger shelter to keep them as safe and secure as possible. If you intend on expanding your business, and the number of trolleys you have, take this into consideration when choosing the perfect sized shelter.

What sort of budget are you working with?

Money is always something to think about, and indeed it can help you to find the perfect trolley shelter for your business. Every business is different, so there’s no right or wrong answer when it comes to how much you can spend on a trolley shelter. The thing to remember is that you need to treat your trolley shelter as a long term investment, rather than a short term cost. Our trolley shelters are made with high-grade tempered anodised aluminium – this makes them weather and corrosion-resistant. The purchase price is going to be your biggest cost because our trolley shelters are designed to require minimal ongoing maintenance.

Making the right investment for your business

With these considerations in mind, you will be perfectly placed to determine the right trolley shelter for your business. Remember to choose based on the size of the space you have available, the size of your business, and your available budget and you will be sure to make a great investment. It’s an investment that will continue serving your business long into the future.
