Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of trolley technology, specifically a foldable multi-functional trolley. Background Technology
[0002] A trolley is a portable means of transportation, typically used for carrying goods or cargo. They can be used in various settings, such as shopping malls, supermarkets, warehouses, and homes. Trolleys are widely used in production and daily life because they are inexpensive to manufacture, easy to maintain, convenient to operate, and lightweight. They can work in places where motor vehicles are inconvenient to use and are particularly convenient for transporting lighter items over short distances.
[0003] However, the existing handcarts, although the handles can be folded towards the base for storage, take up a lot of space when stored because the base occupies a large area. Therefore, they are often stored upright. However, when upright, only the two corners at the ends of the handcart touch the ground, making it easy to tip over.
[0004] Therefore, we propose to design a foldable multi-functional trolley. Utility Model Content
