I am writing a report and need to know the name for the tall wire cages on wheels which are frequently used in supermarkets to take goods from the storeroom to the aisles.
Any ideas please?

seem to remember the stacking ones being called "Z cages" or similar.

Or "roll cages" but searching will find you the wrong type of roll cage unless you add -car to it.
Also "roll cages".

Royal Mail use very similar wheeled cages to move sacks and parcels, and refer to the cages as Yorkies, but I have no idea why.
British Rail used Brutes.
Yup, roll cage.

Thanks - found what I wanted now - and thanks for the use of the minus feature in Google - new to me. I have been able to copy some illustrations that have helped me tremendously. Thanks
