Efficient - Eliminate or reallocate payroll hours to higher revenue producing tasks and tackle additional tasks that other single purpose collection devices cannot perform.
Safe - Stand-up operation along with front and rear flashing lights provides superb visibility to operators and patrons alike.
Easy - Not only is the ROVR™ simple to operate, its pulling action is much easier on your shopping carts than are pushing devices.

A Cart Retrieval System/Merchandise Transport Vehicle
Equipment that performs only one, focused task is difficult to justify in today's economy. The ROVR is the most cost effective cart retrieval system available. The ROVR pulls carts which effortlessly track behind the Mobile Cart Dock that accommodates virtually any style of nesting cart. This prevents the costly wheel damage often associated with pushing devices. The ROVR also offers your operation another method of transporting merchandise in the stockroom, nursery, lumber department and elsewhere. The drop-down side rails allow for merchandise and other items to be loaded on and off with ease. The ROVR is a narrow aisle vehicle with incredible maneurerability making it as easy to operate indoors as it does outside. Like all of Columbia's industrial vehicles, the ROVR comes with a one-year parts and labor warranty.

The  ROVR  lowers the potential for injury, simplifies cart collection, reduces labor costs and eliminates costly cart damage caused by single-use, pushing devices.
   
Columbia's exclusive Mobile Cart Dock, an integral part of the ROVR
retrieval system, accomodates virtually every style of shopping cart - without damage.
   
The ROVR increases your return on investment even more by bringing cost reduction and improved efficiency to other departments throughout your operation.

Customizing the ROVR for your specific application is Columbia's specialty.
