Abstract: A load transport carriage, designed to be carried by a truck, having two pairs of wheels, one being a front pair which is located at a relatively higher level and the other a rear pair which is at a lower level. The wheels of the lower pair are hinged to a carriage frame that is pivotable and lockable in its upper position. Locking mechanism is provided for locking the carriage in an upright position, this locking mechanism including one or more feeler wheels which engage the rear of the truck as the carriage is moved onto the truck and which operate to adjust the length of an adjustable strut connected between the pivotal legs carrying the rear wheels and the carriage frame. The locking mechanism may be either a mechanical locking mechanism or a hydraulic locking mechanism involving a check valve which permits fluid to flow in only one direction into a piston chamber.

The frame has a pair of legs with wheels mounted thereon at each side thereof. The pairs of legs are pivotable in scissor-like fashion and are slidable vertically on the frame from an extended position in which the cart is rollable on the wheels to a storage position in which the pairs of legs are shifted to an upper position. A handle element extends upwardly from the rear of the frame, and a cover member is secured to the frame in order to provide a storage compartment. An accordion-type pocket is integral with the cover at the front of the cart.
