Early trundles were mainly made of wood and had simple structure, which were used for some basic transportation and movement needs. According to different use needs, the structure design of trundle is constantly innovated. Early trundles are mostly single-wheel structures, suitable for the movement of some small objects. With the increase of object weight and size, multi-wheel structure trundles gradually appear, such as two-wheel, three-wheel, four-wheel trundles, which can better disperse weight and improve stability and carrying capacity.
