Claims19
A powered pushing device, the device comprising:
- (a) a base;
- (b) a left control handle coupled to a left portion of the base;
- (c) a right control handle coupled to a right portion of the base;
- (d) a latching component configured to be coupleable to a wheeled object, wherein the latching component is disposed at a proximal location on the base;
- (e) a pair of rear swivel wheels;
- (f) a pair of front fixed wheels disposed under the base, wherein the fixed front wheels are disposed proximally from a front end of the base;
- and
- (g) a motor operably coupled to the pair of front fixed wheels.
