Patent attributes
The invention combines the best features of a cargo carrier with an upright dolly in a single unit to allow a user to safely offload heavy cargo from a carrier and transport that cargo to a final destination. The carrier includes a loading platform that engages a pair of loading hooks on the carrier and automatically locks the carrier to the loading platform. To offload the cargo, a user releases a self-locking latch with a lever and pivots the carrier around a loading bar until supported by a pair of wheels on the underside of the carrier. The rotational movement simultaneously disengages the loading hooks from the loading bar allowing the user to push the carrier away from the loading platform so that the carrier and its cargo may be transported to a final destination with the same ease with which a user would transport cargo on a dolly.
