The presently used carts have a platform over four wheels, and are pulled or pushed by the person driving it, with the help of handles which are attached to the cart platform. This design however suffers from a major drawback of not being able to be turned around a bend. This happens because the wheels of the hand-cart are fixed on the front and rear axles, and can only be rotated about the fixed axle axis. As a result, the hand-cart can be turned around a bend only by physically lifting it by its rear wheels and turning the whole cart about the front wheels. Manually lifting the cart becomes extremely difficult for the person pushing it, especially if the cart is carrying heavy loads. The person moving the cart needs to provide energy for pushing the cart, as well as to lift the cart while turning while balancing the load on the front wheels.
