When people with mobility difficulties want to take a bath, we provide a transport vehicle that eliminates the need for walking and transfers, allowing them to travel directly to the bathroom and bathe while remaining on the vehicle, thus minimizing their burden. [Solution] In this invention, the caster rotation axis of the caster wheel 5 of the transport vehicle 2 is installed at an angle rather than perpendicular to the floor surface, and because the caster wheel 5 and the front wheel 4 are rotatable, the front wheel 4 rotates to the stable side, so when moving forward, a gap is created between the front landing surface of the container body 1 and the floor surface, allowing it to move, and when moving backward, it lands and comes to a stop.
