The Barcelona 54L model is the most widely used in this format because it balances capacity and manoeuvrability without needing a full trolley.<\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/details>\r\n\r\n  <details class=\"sb-faq\">\r\n    <summary>What's the difference between a vertical and a horizontal basket?<\/summary>\r\n    <div class=\"sb-faq-content\">\r\n      <p>The vertical basket takes up the same aisle width as a standard horizontal basket but offers more capacity thanks to its height, ideal for narrow aisles. The horizontal basket has a wider base, making it easier to carry bulky or irregularly shaped products.<\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/details>\r\n\r\n  <details class=\"sb-faq\">\r\n    <summary>Can rolling baskets be used on ramps or escalators?<\/summary>\r\n    <div class=\"sb-faq-content\">\r\n      <p>Yes, with the optional brake system available for the Bond and Superbond models. The brake stops the basket from sliding because the wheels no longer touch the ground, allowing safe use on ramps with up to 20% incline and on escalators.<\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/details>\r\n\r\n  <details class=\"sb-faq\">\r\n    <summary>Do recycled baskets have the same durability as standard ones?<\/summary>\r\n    <div class=\"sb-faq-content\">\r\n      <p>Yes. Baskets made from post-consumer or industrial recycled material maintain the same load capacity and warranty as the virgin-material version, since they're manufactured with the same injection process and quality control.<\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/details>\r\n\r\n  <details class=\"sb-faq\">\r\n    <summary>How do I choose between a hand basket and a shopping trolley?<\/summary>\r\n    <div class=\"sb-faq-content\">\r\n      <p>It depends on the typical average ticket size: if most of your customers buy only a few items, a hand basket is enough. If the average ticket is high or the store format is large (hypermarket, DIY), a trolley or a large-capacity basket like Match or Superbond prevents the customer from limiting their purchase due to lack of space.<\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/details>\r\n\r\n  <details class=\"sb-faq\">\r\n    <summary>Which basket do you recommend for picking and Click & Collect?<\/summary>\r\n    <div class=\"sb-faq-content\">\r\n      <p>ReBasket, a reusable 18-litre basket designed specifically for online order preparation.
