Plastic Supermarket Trolleys - The future of shopping »
Formbar are pleased to announce that we are the exclusive UK distributors for the Polycart range of innovative plastic shopping trolleys. Although the term plastic is seen as a negative these trolleys do not deform or rust meaning little maintenance is required. They are also sturdy and lightweight and the rounded edges mean less damage is done if the trolley was to hit any fixtures in a store, or hit a parked vehicle. However, if they do get damaged in any way any broken parts can be recycled as can the whole trolley. The manufacturing process is clean and eco - friendly unlike the tradition wire trolley. Polycart trolleys have no scrap value as there is no metal, meaning money is saved from not having to re purchase stolen ones. These trolleys come in an array of colours which customers will love as it is unique to see. Not only is the colour choice appealing but these trolleys are silent and easy to move making the store a quieter and a more relaxed environment. View more benefits here.

Storage & Security »
If you have trolleys it is important to have a trolley park or a return point for them. This prevents damage to them as well as theft. It is a way of showing the customers where they can find the trolleys and where they return them also.
Maintenance »
We offer both a repair service and a refurbishing service. No matter how old or where your trolley came from our engineers will come to visit you and fix what they can, or alternatively take the trolleys away and refurbish them whilst lending you our trolleys so you do not have to worry about hiring elsewhere.

Often the first item a customer touches in a store is the basket they are going to fill with their shopping, which gives a first impression of the store. In order to create a good first impression your baskets need to be strong yet light and have a comfortable handle, as well as being the right size and shape. They also need to be stacked neatly so that floor space isn’t taken up. So, it is important you have the perfect basket...

Trolley Baskets »
The well-loved trolley baskets are becoming increasingly more popular by customers and there is no surprise as they are easy and hassle free. Manufacturers’ studies show that if trolley baskets are available the customer will purchase more as they’ll be spending more time in the store as a result of not having to carry a heavy basket. We have different shapes and volumes in stock, so we will have the right option for your store.
Produce Crates »
Produce crates have been used in stock rooms and grocery displays for a long time and now they are an integral part of the online shopping process. With online shopping becoming increasingly popular there is a higher demand for produce crates. The advantage we have over other crates is that ours nest inside each other when not in use and stack safely on top of each other when full of produce, this saves you floor space. These are available in a variety of colours and 2 volumes. We are seeing retailers order these more and more as standard for new store openings and re-fits.
About Formbar
Formbar opened in 2005 by Simon Nickson. Simon was working for a company that held the UK importers agreement for Marsanz Shopping Trolleys and Zest Polyurethane Coatings. Unfortunately, this company went under and Simon was offered these two distributorships. Over the years Simon has added further products that complimented the Shopping Trolleys by including a wide range of hand baskets, rolling trolley baskets and accessories. Formbar is a small business and thrives on all the advantages this brings. No call centres, no big corporate machine to make pricing decisions, tailored service to each customer, friendly customer service and simple ordering processes. Our customers are independent retailers, convenience stores, garden centres, warehouses, distribution centres, departments stores, large chain stores and more.
