What is a flatbed handcart
A manual pushing and pulling transport vehicle. It is the ancestor of all vehicles. Although material handling skills are occasionally developed, hand carts are still used today as an indispensable means of moving things. The widespread use of hand carts in production and daily life is due to their low cost, simple maintenance, convenient operation, light weight, and ability to handle local tasks that are not convenient for flexible vehicles. They are also very convenient for handling lighter items at short intervals.

Handcarts are divided into single wheel, two wheel, three wheel, and four wheel. A unicycle can travel on narrow gangways, temporary bridges, and winding paths, and can turn in place, making it very convenient to dump goods. The commonly used two wheeled carts include hand pushed carts (also known as Shanjun carts) for handling individual items, rack trucks, and bucket trucks for handling loose materials. There is one in the three wheeled handcart and two reverse casters in the four wheeled handcart that can rotate around the vertical axis. This type of reverse caster can actively adjust to the direction with the minimum running resistance in response to changes in the vehicle’s movement direction during operation.
Folding and editing the scope of use of this section’s handcart
The design of the handcart series is mainly lightweight and easy to carry. Due to its convenient use, it is widely used for short distance handling in warehouses, manufacturing factories, department stores, logistics centers, freight stations, or distribution routes. However, this series of handcart is not load-bearing (generally limited to 500 kg or less) and most of them do not have lifting capacity. This feature is very different from lifting and stacking vehicles.
