A handling system (10) comprising in turn a first toothed means (8) connected by meshing to the front wheel (4), and a second toothed means (80) connected, again by meshing, to the rear wheel (40), in which the first toothed means (8) and the second toothed means (80) are connected to each other by a connecting bar (9) which allows the joint movement of the two toothed means (8, 80) as a result of the movement of the drawbar (2) by means of the push handle (3) by the user.

A pulling cart with four wheels can be folded into a folded configuration. The wheels are mounted on wheel assemblies which can be in an open or a folded position. The cart has a front panel hinged to a rear panel. The front panel has a front carrier for mounting two wheel assemblies and a pair of slide rails extendable to the second panel. A rear carrier having two wheel assemblies is fixedly mounted to the end portion of the slide rails to move between the front and rear panels. When the cart is used for pulling, all wheel assemblies are in the open position. Each carrier has two arm-receiving holes. Each wheel assembly has a pair of arcuate arms which can rest on the carrier to support the wheel in the open position or move through the arm-receiving hole into the folded position for folding the cart.

A handle and a handle seat of the operating mechanism are connected. The power assistor assembly includes a power assist mechanism and a controller. The power assist mechanism is electrically connected to the controller. An input shaft at an upper end of the power assist mechanism is drivably connected to a lower end of the handle seat. The mounting bracket includes a mounting plate and a mounting seat. An outer casing of the power assist mechanism is fixedly connected to the mounting plate. The driving mechanism includes a drive connecting shaft, a reduction gearbox, a driving wheel and a driving motor.

A moving device adapted to be actuated by a prime mover is disclosed. The moving device allows a caregiver to ride thereon. The moving device comprises a vehicle body and a plurality of rotors. The vehicle body includes a first frame portion and a second frame portion. The first frame portion allows the caregiver to ride thereon and the second frame portion allows a care receiver to ride thereon. The plurality of rotors are provided on the first frame portion and are rotatable in accordance with movement of the vehicle body. A wheel base defined by the plurality of rotors is constant. The second frame portion is provided on the first frame portion so as to be movable in accordance with a motion of the caregiver riding on and getting off the first frame portion.

A pallet trolley includes: a frame having two ends, the frame defining a longitudinal axis; a handle assembly attached to the frame; a first wheel assembly attached to the frame at one end; and a second wheel assembly attached to the frame at the other end, the first and second wheel assemblies are oriented to allow the pallet trolley to roll in a direction other than parallel to the longitudinal axis of the frame. A method of moving a pallet includes: providing a pallet trolley having first and second wheel assemblies; locating the first and second wheel assemblies under a pallet; lowering the pallet onto the trolley; and moving the pallet on the trolley and a fork truck.

A heavy duty carriage includes a carriage body, a load receiving platform horizontally rotatably mounted on a top of the carriage body, and a plurality of caster bodies each horizontally rotatably supported by a caster shaft in a lower part of the carriage body. Each of the caster bodies has, in a lower part thereof, a front wheel rotatably supported by a front wheel shaft and rear wheels each rotatably supported by a rear wheel shaft. The front wheel and the rear wheels are positioned forward and rearward of an axial center of the caster shaft on a straight line in a horizontal direction. When the carriage body is placed on a floor surface and outer circumferences of the rear wheels contact the floor surface, an outer circumference of the front wheel does not contact the floor surface. By using four heavy duty carriages, the heavy object can be moved.
