Has anyone spotted the Coles supermarket T6 single cab with fairly long factory built shopping trolley tracks. It is fitted with a compressor & air bags to raise it from ground level. It was being raised while I looked on & there was a motor whirring away. It was fitted with Vic. number plates so maybe doing the rounds to see what the stores think. The operator said it was a nice piece of kit, as long as everything continued to work properly. If I see it again I will take a pic.

As promised, here are some pics. & some more info. There are three of these units operating in Adelaide, & each one is given a name. The one I saw is called Kirsty & is shared between St Agnes shopping centre & Tea Tree Plaza. This driver also confirmed that it was developed & built by VW.
The tray is lowered by releasing air from the airbags at the rear & a couple of ramps are lowered to the ground.
After loading the trollies, the tailgate is raised operating a switch that starts an electric motor. This drives a compressor filling the airbags & raising the tray.
Here's the working part in the black box covered in perforated plate.
The sticker on the rear window says Birwickvolkswagen.
