A shopping trolley (10) has a basket (11), handle (12) and front and rear wheels (13, 14). The basket (11), tapered in plan view, has side walls (15, 16) interconnected by a front wall (17). The rear wall (19) is hingedly connected to the side walls (15, 16) and engages the rearward end of the floor (22), which is hingedly connected to the side walls (15, 16) or front wall (17). The floor (22 ) is downwardly inclined from the rearward end to the forward end. When the trolley (10) is nested with a similar trolley, the rear wall (19) is swung inwardly and upwardly, causing the floor (22) to be swung upwardly to be behind the front wall (17). Alternative the floor (22) may be folded e.g. in a concertina-like fashion, to be behind the front wall (17).

A shopping trolley basket including: a rear wall, inclined to the vertical, operably hinged to two side walls of the basket at or adjacent an upper end of the rear wall; and a floor, having a plurality of floor panels or sections hingedly interconnected to each other, extending transversely to the basket, and hingedly connected at a rearward end to the rear wall, the floor being substantially horizontal and downwardly inclined from the rearward end to the forward ends; so arranged that: as the trolley provided with the basket is nested with a similar trolley, the rear wall is swung inwardly and upwardly to cause the floor to be swung upwardly to lie behind the front wall, where the floor panels or sections are hingedly movable to accommodate a change in angular relationship between the rear wall and front wall. 12. A basket as claimed in claim 11, where the ends of the floor panels or sections are supported by guides or supports along the side walls. 13. A trolley basket as claimed in claim 11, where a front panel or section of the floor is fixed to the front wall or the side walls. 14.
