ABSTRACT:
A cart includes a support body having two separate portions. Each of the separate portions has a bottom wall with a side wall extending upwardly from one side thereof and a flange extending downwardly from the other side thereof. The flanges of the two separate portions abut each other and are held in this position by tabs on one of the flanges being disposed within slots in the other flange. A front end wall is fixed to the two separate portions. A rear end wall is removably connected to the two separate portions. The side wall of each of the two separate portions has an axle support plate attached thereto and supporting an axle for a wheel. A torque tube extends between the two plates to prevent twisting and add rigidity to the assembled cart. A tow bar, which is connected to a vehicle for towing or pulling the cart, is attached to the bottom walls of the two separate portions and has a longitudinal slot therein to receive the abutting flanges. The tow bar also may be rotatably mounted on the torque tube extending between the axle support plates when it is desired to tilt the cart to dump the load through removing the rear end wall. The front end wall also could be removable if desired.
