ABSTRACT:
A vehicle for retrieving wheeled shopping carts in parking lots. The vehicle is an electric-powered vehicle with electronic remote control which allows one operator to use the device for retrieval of the wheeled shopping carts. The vehicle can be operated in a remote or manual mode. The vehicle includes a cart coupling means for securing the wheeled shopping carts to the vehicle. The cart coupling means is electrically isolated from the vehicle. The coupling means includes two arcuate jaw members which surround the rear tube frame members of the shopping cart. A locking rod is pushed across one jaw member to secure the shopping cart to the coupler assembly. When operating in the remote control, the operator guides the vehicle with a radio transmitter. The vehicle can likewise be operated in a manual mode. The vehicle provides a foot pedal seat and steering wheel for manual operation. The electric drive means for powering the vehicle includes dynamic braking and a parking brake. The parking brake is actuated automatically when the vehicle has come to a stop or the operator sets the brake manually.
