The embodiments herein relate to a medical instrument trolley in the form of a stroller. The stroller is light in weight, portable and convenient to use. The stroller comprises a tubular wedge-shaped collapsible frame structure 102 having at least one pair of wheels 104, an interchangeable tool box 106 conveniently placed between the wedge-shaped frame structure on a receptacle 108, a trash collector 110, and a disposable sharps box 112. The medical instrument stroller is beneficial for phlebotomists, hospital nurses, home health nurses, emergency medical personnel and any other medical clinicians who need a safe, light, organized, collapsible and mobile work station for light tools to perform their duties in direct patient care.

Disclosed is a foldable chassis of manually driven carrier vehicles capable of self-locking in unfolded position. The chassis includes a frame having a reference plane, an actuator attached pivotally to said frame, a first mechanism comprising said actuator and a platform attached pivotally to said frame, and a second mechanism comprising said actuator and two arms, each attached to said frame pivotally around a first axis and configured for attaching a wheel arrangement rotatable around a second axis. Said first and second mechanisms configured to move independently of each other between at least a first position, in which said platform generally perpendicular to said frame and said wheel arrangements generally perpendicular to said reference plane, and a second position, in which said platform adjacent to said frame and said wheel arrangements adjacent and parallel to said reference plane.

An equipment caddy is provided that is convertible between a container and an equipment rack.

A dolly includes a frame having an axle extending between dolly wheels and defining a pivot axis. The frame has a support member with a ground-engaging element spaced apart from the dolly wheels. A lever arm is mounted to the frame and extends to a handle. The lever arm is positioned on a first side of the axle. A container support is mounted to the frame on the first side of the axle. The handle is manipulable to pivot the support member, the lever arm, and the container support about the pivot axis between at least a storage position and a discharge position. In the storage position, the container axis has an upright orientation and the ground-engaging element is spaced from the ground surface. In the discharge position, the container axis has an orientation being substantially parallel to the ground surface, and the ground-engaging element abuts against the ground surface.
