EZ Stop

RAIDC were involved from the outset and worked closely with the inventor of this primarily injection-moulded shopping trolley retention system.

Activated as the trolley is pushed over a profiled moulded tile, the unit encased a complex internal system of mechanical linkages which caused a brake to operate under a range of selected situations.

The EZ Stop is now in use by a number of major supermarket chains.
