ABSTRACT:
A cart track assembly for use with a cart having steerable castor wheels includes a pair of parallel, spaced apart tracks mounted to a support surface. Each track includes a number of elongate main track segments and widened transition track segments coupling the main track segments. The main segments have parallel, upright sides defining a relatively narrow pathway between the sides. The widened segments preferably include sides which flare outwardly to define a widened transition area. The transition area is large enough to allow the castor wheels to pivot 180.degree. about their vertical pivot axis after the cart has reversed direction. This allows the castor wheels to roll smoothly along the track after the direction of the movement of the cart has been reversed.
