Carrying arrangement for carrying apparatuses, in particular medical apparatuses, having a base carrier on which at least three roller elements are arranged in order to move the carrying arrangement with respect to a floor surface. The roller elements are each rotatable about first axes of rotation (D). At least one of these roller elements is pivotable about a pivot axis (S) with respect to the base carrier. The axes of rotation (D) and the pivot axis (S) extend in different directions. At least one supporting element is arranged at least indirectly on the base carrier. The supporting element does not contact the floor in a first position of the carrying arrangement with respect to the floor surface and the supporting element contacts the floor in a second position of the carrying arrangement with respect to the floor, the second position being pivoted with respect to the first position.

A cart movement assist device, which is attached to a rear end portion side of a cart which is a side where a worker is located, and which assists a movement of the cart, includes: an assist tire; a backward movement pedal that is pivotably operated; and a backward movement torque transmission mechanism configured to generate an assist force for moving the cart backward, by transmitting a torque generated by an operation on the backward movement pedal to the assist tire and rotating the assist tire.

A stabilized cart. The cart of the present invention having at least two side walls and a forward and rear end wall with a plurality of holders and outriggers for support during windy conditions. The cart has a plurality of wheels, preferably on casters, that allow for travel on sandy terrain. The stabilized cart is particularly helpful in sandy conditions during high wind events due to the outriggers which provide the cart with greater stability.
