Abstract

A manually operated cart that is specifically designed for loading, hauling and unloading long and heavy objects such as pipe, wood poles and heavy construction members without requiring the user to manually lift the objects for either loading or unloading and a method for loading, transporting and unloading a wheeled manual cart of this nature. For loading a long and heavy object, the cart manipulation handle is positioned in a lateral handle receptacle and is used by a worker to roll the cart over to an inverted position on top of the long and heavy object to be lifted and transported and after being bound to the object, is rolled back to its wheel supported position with the object so attached. After the cart and object have been manually moved by manual pushing or pulling, the worker will unload the cart by returning the cart manipulation handle to the lateral handle receptacle and by using the handle as a fulcrum to rotate the cart back to its inverted position and thus returning the object to the ground or floor. In this position the cart/object binding is released to allow the cart to be removed from the object. During cart rotation, rounded sections of an object support cradle of the cart will serve as fulcrum points for control of cart and object rotation by the laterally connected handle.
