Next time you find yourself pushing a shopping cart through a grocery store, you may not realize you're pushing the latest in shopping cart technology. That is until, you try to push it off the parking lot.
Next time I steal a shopping cart I'll just pick it up instead fo rolling it, or put it in the back of my truck. Maybe i can chuck it 5 feet in the air over the sensors also.

I've tried this out at our Food for Less in Highland park, CA the thing is great. Even if you pick the cart up and walk with it in the air for 20 yards it still locks up. I think it works on RFID or GPS.

And what do you use the stolen shopping carts for? Don't you have a job?

my friends and I actually went out to our local walgreens and tested this. It works when it passes over the antenna but the store owners were too cheap to install the antenna around the entire parking lot and so if you just take the time to lift it over the curb you're home free

I was injured quite badly by one of these new locking wheel carts in a Walgreen's Parking Lot. The antenna magnetic strip was installed in a part of the parking lot you have to roll the cart over to reach your car. I broke a toe, tore ligaments and tendons and may need surgery on my foot. They value their carts more than their customers. Anyone else?

I would really like to use this on wheelchairs that keep disappearing out of our hospital. Does anyone know if this will work for our problem?

A nice article that explains the technology of those wheel locks is at: http://71.6.196.237/fravia/nola_wheel.htm
About locking wheelchairs, after reading the above technology article I would think that it could probably be applied to wheelchairs.

If you have been injured due to one of these locking-wheel carts, call me at 760.692.2261 to discuss. My name is Gordon Levinson. I am an attorney and my client alleges that she was seriously injured by one of these, and I am reaching out to others to learn more about this product. Thank you.
