ABSTRACT:
A manually driven wheeled ground level loading cart 10 is provided. The cart 10 has a container 20 in which a load can be supported and a frame 40, pivotably attached to the container 20 and including a handle 44. The frame 40 can be pivoted with respect to the container 20 between two orientations including a loading orientation where the container 20 rests flat on the ground G and a transport orientation where the container 20 is supported through the frame 40 upon wheels 70. The cart 10 is maintained in the transport orientation by having a latching mechanism 80 releasably attached to a rear bar 35 affixed to the container 20. The wheels 70 are coupled through axles to the frame 40 at a location elevated above the pivotable attachment means between the frame 40 and the container 20. A latching mechanism 80 is located above the axles 73 of the wheels 70. The pivotable attachment means between the frame 40 and the container 20 is located closer to a loading lip 30 of the container 20 than to a back wall 24 of the container 20 to provide proper balance for the frame 40 and container 20 in both the loading orientation and the transport orientation. The latching mechanism 80 can be released from the rear bar 35 of the container 20 through rotation of a release bar 100 located adjacent the handle 44 on the frame 40.
