Safety Information
To prevent injury or damage to the product, please observe the following safety guidelines:
- Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 198 lbs (88 lbs for the upper basket, 110 lbs for the bottom platform).
- Ensure all parts are securely locked in place before use.
- Keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts during folding and unfolding to prevent pinching.
- Do not allow children to play with or ride on the cart.
- Use on stable, level surfaces. Avoid steep inclines or uneven terrain when heavily loaded.
- Clean the cart regularly to prevent dirt buildup that could affect wheel performance.
Setup and Assembly
Your TROPOW Collapsible Shopping Cart comes pre-assembled and requires unfolding for use. Follow these steps to prepare your cart:
- Unfolding the Frame: Place the cart on a flat surface. Gently pull the handle upwards until the main frame extends and locks into position.
- Extending the Platforms: Push down on the lower platform until it clicks into its flat, open position. If using the upper platform, extend it similarly.
- Attaching the Crate: Place the removable storage crate onto the upper platform. Ensure it sits securely. For additional stability, use the bungee cords located at the bottom of the upper platform to secure the crate.
- Adjusting the Handle: Press the button on the handle to adjust its height to a comfortable position. Release the button to lock the handle in place.

Operating Instructions

Removable Storage Crate
The included storage crate can be used on the upper platform or independently. To remove, simply lift it off the platform. To reattach, align it with the platform and place it securely. The crate has a capacity of 60 liters and can hold up to 88 lbs.
Multiple Configurations
The cart can be used in various modes to suit your needs:
- Two-Tier Mode: Utilize both the upper platform with the crate and the lower platform for larger items or additional crates.
- Single-Tier Mode: Fold the upper platform down and use only the lower platform for tall or bulky items.
- Hand Truck Mode: The cart can be tilted to a 90-degree angle for use as a hand truck, ideal for moving boxes or heavy items.
