Abstract: A handcart includes a carrying frame with two longitudinal members having respective handles. The longitudinal members are coextensively juxtaposed with one another in a longitudinal direction; at least one crossbar connects the longitudinal members rigidly. A back panel is attached to the carrying frame, the longitudinal members, the crossbar and the back panel substantially defined a plane. At least one wheel supports the carrying frame rotatably. One side of a load-supporting plate is attached to the frame so as to be disposed transversely to the plane. A front panel is hingedly attached to one of the four sides of the load-supporting plate opposite the side thereof attached to the frame, and two side panels are hingedly attached to the remaining sides of the load-supporting plate, respectively. The side panels and the front and back panels are lockable to one another, respectively to form a substantially box-shaped container open at the top for carrying loads.
