ABSTRACT:
A collapsible, ground-supportable, manually transportable carrier includes a container and transport handles attached to a front end of the container. The container is formed of a plurality of detachable container sections, with adjacent sections being interconnected by a transverse hinge extending along floor portions of the container sections. The hinge comprises hinge elements inter-fitted together and rotatable relative to one another to a position enabling the container sections to be detached from one another. Tensioned cables extend along upper edges of the carrier side wall to oppose pivoting of the hinge elements and thereby maintain the container sections interconnected. The carrier can be ground-supported directly on a floor of a rear container section, or ground-support wheels can be mounted on that rear container section. The container sections, when disassembled, can be nested together, one inside of the other.
