Time to discover shopping trolleys with insulated bags

Has it ever happened to you that you get home with your frozen food and… surprise: it’s softer than your willpower on a Monday morning? Well, that’s over now. If you’re one of those people who enjoys taking their time shopping, chatting with the greengrocer and stopping for a coffee, one of these shopping trolleys with a insulated bag could be your new best friend.

In this post, we’ll tell you why shopping trolleys with thermal bags for frozen food are the perfect solution for maintaining the cold chain.

An insulated bag that really works

The key is in the insulated compartment, a specially insulated space designed with isothermal material that helps to maintain the temperature of food for longer.

We’re not talking about a decorative pocket: we’re talking about a spacious pocket, ideal for your frozen foods, fresh produce, ice cream, yoghurts, meat or fish. It maintains the temperature until you get home… or until you finish that strategic stop at the corner shop.

Total convenience for everyday use

In addition to the thermal pocket, these large-capacity shopping trolleys are usually designed with those who do their shopping in bulk in mind. Frozen vegetables, a bag of crushed ice, two boxes of ice cream and three trays of frozen croquettes? They all fit.

Many models are manufactured with four-point support structures that give the trolley greater stability even when it is not full, as well as making it much easier to manoeuvre. And if you usually struggle with the trolley wheels, you’ll be happy to know that there are versions with swivel wheels.

More space, and better use of it

Does carrying three bags hanging from each arm, a full trolley and still not having enough room for the yoghurts sound familiar? With a trolley with a thermal pocket, you have that extra space to keep frozen items cool without mixing everything in the main bag, but you also have those extra centimetres, which increase the capacity for your weekly shopping. This way, you can distribute your shopping comfortably: bottles securely fastened, fragile items well protected at the top, and everything in its place. Garmol trolley models have hooks for hanging extra bags. Because shopping without having to carry everything like a mule… is also a luxury.

Tips for keeping your frozen food fresh in the insulated bag

The cooler bags in shopping trolleys, such as those included in models like our Jumbo Fresc0*, are designed to keep food cold for longer. But if you give them a little help, they can do even better. Here are some tips to get the most out of them:

✅ 1. Add ice packs

Place a couple of ice packs or cold accumulators inside the cooler bag before leaving home. They help maintain the internal temperature for longer, especially if you know you won’t be returning immediately.

🕒 With ice packs and a tightly closed bag, you can keep cold or frozen products for 2 to 3 hours depending on the outside temperature.

✅ 2. Easy and regular cleaning

After each use, wipe the inside of the bag with a damp cloth or a cloth with a little neutral soap. This prevents the accumulation of debris and keeps the bag ready for the next purchase.

✅ 3. Prevents odours: leave the bag open after use

Once emptied, leave it open for a while to air out. This will prevent unpleasant odours or a damp feeling when you use it again.

3 key advantages

  1. They keep food cold for longer thanks to the integrated insulated bag.
  2. They have a large capacity, so you don’t have to play Tetris every time you go shopping.
  3. They are practical and convenient, with a design that makes your life easier.

Frequently asked questions about shopping trolleys with insulated bags

How long does the cooler bag keep things cold?

They can generally maintain the temperature of the products (between 2º and 8º) for 2 or 3 hours. To maximise their effectiveness, it is important to seal the bag tightly and fill it as much as possible to reduce the air space. We also recommend using ice packs to prolong this time.

What is the capacity of thermal trolleys?

They come in different sizes, but the large models can hold up to 80 litres. Perfect for a full week’s shopping.

Are they easy to clean?

Yes. Most allow you to clean the cooler bag with a damp cloth, especially if there have been leaks or moisture.

Do they take up a lot of space at home?

Many models are foldable, so you can easily store them in a cupboard or behind a door.

Can they be used for other things besides shopping?

Of course! You can use them to take food to a picnic, transport laundry, help with school bags or even on a weekend getaway if you need to carry things without carrying weight.
