Abstract: A front wheel-mounted cart having a chassis including a pair of forward side members and a pair of rearward side members, the side members of one pair telescoping into the side members of the other pair. It then serves as a truck for transporting bulky loads. A barrow may be mounted on the chassis in a removable manner by the telescoping action of the chassis side members. The barrow has a handle bar which, when in one position and secured to the chassis, serves to move the cart about and, once the barrow is freed from the chassis, serves for using the barrow as a shovel by pivoting the handle into a shoveling position.
