A convertible hand truck includes first and second truck frames coupled with each other through a pair of fixed members and a pair of pivoting members such that the second truck frame is turnable relative to the first truck frame among a folded position, a platform-cart position and a reclined-truck position. A stabilizing lever is pivotably connected with the second truck frame or the pivoting members to be engaged with or disengaged from the fixed members in response to the turning of the second truck frame. The second truck frame extends outwardly from the first truck frame in the reclined-truck position so as to expand and enlarge the carrying area of the hand truck for more loads.

A travel cooler, includes a body comprising a base, sidewalls, and a lid connected together to define an interior, insulated containment space for holding cooler items. A lengthwise dimension of the cooler extends between opposite ends of the cooler, and the body defines recessed exterior surface slots extending along a lengthwise extent of the cooler. The cooler further includes a U-shaped handle having two legs connected by a handle portion. The cooler is transitionable between a first configuration, in which the legs of the U-shaped handle extend a substantial length from the body of the cooler, and a second configuration, in which the legs of the U-shaped handle are received within the recessed exterior surface slots extending along a lengthwise extent of the cooler, the handle portion extending in close proximity to an end of the body of the cooler.

A collapsible ski caddy which both transports skis and poles in a caddy configuration and is easily transportable itself in a collapsed configuration. The collapsible ski caddy generally includes a frame having a first telescopic member and a second telescopic member in parallel relationship. A base and one or more connectors link the telescopic members in a spaced-apart configuration. The base may itself be collapsible and includes a pair of wheels. The connectors include hinged locking members for removably securing skis against the frame. The connectors may also include pole retainers for removably securing poles against the frame. The present invention is easily interchangeable between a caddy configuration for transporting the skis and poles and a collapsed configuration for transporting the present invention itself.

An adaptable hand truck that is suitable for carrying box or bulk type loads traditionally carried by single axle hand trucks on a first load platform while further being adaptable for carrying longitudinal type loads through the deployment of an extendable axle assembly that works in cooperation with a rotationally mounted second frame assembly. When extended, the extendable axle assembly provides a first longitudinal load surface. When rotated down, the second frame assembly provides a second longitudinal load surface that is supported by a pivotally mounted wheel. Thus so adapted, the hand truck is configured for carrying box type loads on a load platform, while further having the added utility of carrying longitudinal type loads on the first load surface and the second load surface.

A cart includes a platform assembly, a handle assembly, first wheel assembly and a second wheel assembly. In use, the cart may folded from a deployed position in which it rolls along a surface to transport items, to a stowed position, in which it is collapsed in a compact geometry for storage. The cart may be further integrated into a chair, chaise lounge, garden cart, bicycle utility cart or a bicycle passenger cart.

A rolling container includes a body having an upper opening, a lid pivotally coupled to the body, a wheel coupled to the body, configured for rolling the body thereon, a maneuvering handle pivotally coupled to the body, and a handle pivot mechanism configured to pivot the maneuvering handle away from the body when the lid is opened.

A cart includes a pull rod mechanism, a folding bracket mechanism, and a pull rod locking apparatus. The pull rod mechanism includes main and sub-pipes connected telescopically. The folding bracket mechanism includes a bearing frame, connecting rods, and connecting elements. The bearing frame and the connecting rod are rotationally connected to the main pipe. The connecting element is rotationally connected to the bearing frame and connecting rod. The pull rod locking apparatus includes a mounting frame, sliding rods, and a knob. The mounting frame is fixedly connected between two main pipes and is symmetrically provided with two sliding grooves. Two sliding rods are provided and slidably connected in two sliding grooves. The knob includes a lock block circumferentially provided with far and near ends. When the knob is rotated until the far end abuts against sliding rod, an end of the sliding rod tightly abuts and locks the sub-pipe.

A self-contained portable material transport cart for game transport and utility transport of equipment and supplies including emergency medical transport in multiple venues. The extraction cart has a lightweight collapsible frame with cargo support straps or netting. Fixed and folding wheels and telescopically extensible frame members allow for compact storage and backpack transport to user location. Extensible frame is adjustable for length and width for cargo transport with an optional trailer hitch adapter allowing the cart to be pulled by an off-road vehicle, if needed.

A hand truck is provided, comprising a frame, a pair of back wheels secured to a first edge of the frame, a nose plate hingedly secured to the first edge of the frame, a telescopic handle hingedly secured to a second edge of the frame opposite the first edge, and a motorized wheel assembly separately connected to the second edge of the frame and to the handle. The hand truck has three configurations: a hand truck configuration whereby the nose plate is in a horizontal position, the frame is in a vertical position, and the handle is extended vertically; a storage configuration whereby the nose plate is in a vertical position, the frame is in a vertical position, and the handle is retracted; and a scooter configuration whereby the nose plate is in a horizontal position, the frame is in a horizontal position, and the handle is extended.

Disclosed is an apparatus for use with one or more containers shaped and configured to be retained by the apparatus, the apparatus including: a lower platform extending in a substantially horizontal direction; one or more frame members attached to and extending substantially upward from the lower platform; two or more support arms detachably engaged with and extending in the substantially horizontal direction from the frame members and adapted to removably engage with and support the containers.
