I get that about the water but the slope could be less pronounced to drain the water and not whisk the trolleys away.
You can't turn your trolley perpendicular to the slope here. They have twirly wheels so the cart will roll down a slope however you've oriented it. I jam my foot under one wheel to act as a brake while I unload it. I do have a solution, I just don't see why I have to!
