shopping trolleys

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

how does the trolley wheels lock up when you go past the lines

 

where it says no trolleys past this point

 

bit sad but always wondered how this works

invisible ones?

[NHR115]

Oooooohhh i've never seen them before (i'm easily impressed )

[sab6024]

I love watching old people struggle with them at Tesco but I'm easily pleased It's magnets in the ground I was sad enough to ask a trolley chappy one day and that's what he told me

[mossy]

get it all the time at asda....as said they are activated by the magnetic substance in the paint which pulls the cover over the wheel and locks it...But yeah it is amusing!

Right, group OSF trolley joyride challenge!

 

How far can you get

[Chris!]

it would be funny if someone was running with a trolley and it locked up

[Trevmk3]

just need to take your own magnets to unlock the wheels if you want to take the trolley further

[FredTransit]

Do tell, how do you unlock them then?

[Trevmk3]

just a guess, i dont bother shopping with a trolley, if it can be carried by hand then thats what i'll take

we pushed a girl in a trolly down a hill and halfway down the little hill was one of the red lines, it chucked her out, LOL

or lift the wheel up as it goes over the line?

[FredTransit]

If it's magnetic the magnetic field might go up a way, or it wouldn't be strong enough.

build a ramp and take a running jump

[FredTransit]

I have seen the trolley jockies unlocking the wheels with a key, so maybe it's possible to do this with some ordinary hand tool?

[Copey]

why are we tryin to steel shoppin trollys anyways??

[FredTransit]

We're not, i was just curious how they let the lock off the wheels.

damn you! I want to chav one up now and take it down one of our local cruise meets. Just like the rustlers advert microwaves

[caprinerd]

just push the trolley over that bit of land they refer to as a garden and it by passes the magnetic field that locks up the wheels and when you done push the trolley back over the strip and piss the wrincklies of by putting it back in the trolley park

[FredTransit]

Yeah, that avoids them being locked up in the first place, but what if I get a trolley on the outer reaches of the car park (the only place that has room for vans) and the wheels are locked, it's raining and it's the only trolley that isn't in use?
