Product analysis involves looking closely at existing products and
identifying how they work, the materials they are made from, the
industrial processes used to manufacture them and their key features. It
may also involves the designer asking the general public or potential
customers what they think of the product. The aim of product analysis is
to help the designer develop even better designs and products in the
future. The trolley below is an Aluminium Folding Trolley, light weight trolley for a wide variety of general uses. |

The trolley folds away and can be stored in a small space. | |
