  • Patent number: 6523839
    Abstract: The shoveling hand cart apparatus is a material handling apparatus designed to provide an apparatus that will allow the user easy loading of bulky and heavy items into a wheeled bin by having an open end at or near load/ground height which aids in shoveling/scooping loads in much the way a hand truck operates on boxed loads and allows the user to easily transport contained and loose loads in a bin, and then dump, shovel or slide out the contents of the bin. The shoveling hand cart apparatus is comprised of a handle that has a significant vertical portion prior to the portion that is positioned along the upper part of the sides of the bin in order to permit the operator to work in a comfortable position. The holding area or bin of the cart has a rear arcuate wall and two sides with an open front section. The sides have a vertical dimension that is greater at the area adjacent to the rear arcuate wall and slopes as it goes forward to a smaller vertical dimension.
