Thanks!
It's really just a very long moving walkway with a (relatively - still quite manageable with a cart since you just have to hold it in place) steep incline to make it a ramp. The Walmart at Square One is quite large, so has the floor space to pull it off. Otherwise the cart escalators are a more compact system.

Yeah, that's what Target and the CTs I mentioned used. It seems to be the common option for large urban format stores.
