Shopping baskets
Professional Shopping Baskets for Shops of Any Format
A shopping basket is an essential tool for quick and comfortable shopping. The SMEP range includes classic metal baskets with a chrome finish as well as modern plastic models in various volumes and colours. Our solutions are characterised by their light weight, reinforced handles, and ergonomic design that doesn’t restrict the customer’s movements in the sales area. Choose high‑quality equipment that will last for years, even with daily intensive use.
How to choose shopping baskets for your business?
Choosing the right retail equipment can help increase the average check: if a basket is comfortable, customers are subconsciously more willing to fill it with more items. Depending on the specifics of your store (grocery retail, cosmetics, household chemicals, or DIY), we offer two main types of baskets:
Plastic shopping baskets
This is the most popular option for modern retail chains.
- Lightweight and vibrant: made from impact‑resistant virgin polypropylene. The wide range of colours allows you to match the equipment to your brand’s corporate identity.
- Hygienic: plastic does not absorb odours and is easy to clean and disinfect, which is extremely important for grocery departments.
- Ergonomic: the special design of the handles (single or double) distributes the weight evenly, reducing strain on the customer’s hand.
Metal shopping baskets
A classic solution known for maximum durability.
- Robust construction: the mesh frame made of steel wire can withstand significant weight loads without deforming.
- Long‑lasting coating: multi‑layer galvanic coating (chrome or zinc plus lacquer) protects the metal from corrosion and gives the basket an attractive shine.
- Space‑saving: metal baskets stack perfectly, taking up minimal space in the checkout area or at the entrance.
Why order shopping baskets from Smep?
- Material safety: all equipment is certified and safe for contact with packaged food products.
- Reliable fastenings: we pay special attention to the handle attachment points — this is the most stressed part, and our models feature additional reinforcement in this area.
- Accessories available: in addition to the baskets themselves, we offer mobile stands (trolleys) for collecting and moving stacks of baskets around the store.
