When the elder go to the market for fruits and vegetables, they always need to haul a trolley around to carry the goods. The problem with a traditional trolleys is that it requires the user to bend over in order to place or retrieve the items.
This design improves the usage of the traditional trolley. Joining the jack mechanism, so elderly don’t have to force themselves to bend over. Only pumping the pedal, the bottom of the trolley will rise up. It solves not only the bending problem, inconvenience but also makes the shopping more comfortable and convenient.
高齡族至菜市場買菜時，總是攜帶著菜籃車，但老年人必須不斷地彎腰才能將東西放進較低的平台裡。此設計改善了菜籃車的使用性，加入千斤頂機構原理，不須再彎腰屈就菜籃車的高度，只要輕鬆地利用腳踩，就能讓置放平台隨物品高度升降解決高齡者彎腰的不適與傷害，讓購物更加便利。
