Shopping cart conveyor

[1] While inclined moving walkways can be used in multi-level retail stores to transport shopping carts between floors, they are associated with safety hazards (such as, with baby strollers)[1] and take up about twice as much floor space as a separate cart conveyor system, because moving walkways can not be installed at inclinations greater than 12 degrees, while a cart conveyor can operate at an inclination of up to 35 degrees.

Guides in the floor then direct the shopping cart's wheels into the proper position.

The device then senses the presence of the cart and transport to the next store level.

The shopping cart conveyor operates at no greater speed than its adjacent escalator for people.
