In combination:
- a pallet sled having a sled base having wheels, the pallet sled further including a fork tine assembly extending from the sled base, the fork tine assembly including a pair of fork tines, at least one of the pair of fork tines configured to be secured directly to a horizontal planar base of a hand cart projecting forwardly from a frame of the hand cart and having two wheels mounted rearwardly of the frame;
- and
- the hand cart, wherein the horizontal, planar base of the hand cart is secured to the at least one of the pair of fork tines and wherein the frame of the cart extends upward vertically to a handle portion and wherein the horizontal, planar base projects forwardly from a lower portion of the frame and the two wheels are mounted to an axis rearward of the lower portion of the frame and higher than the horizontal, planar base.
A pallet sled comprising:
- a sled base having first wheels;
- and
- a fork tine assembly extending from the sled base, the fork tine assembly including first and second fork tines extending from the sled base to free ends supported by second wheels, wherein the first fork tine is configured to be secured to a horizontal, planar base projecting away from a frame of a hand cart having only two wheels, wherein the first and second fork tines each include a horizontal slot formed at the free ends thereof, wherein the slots are generally parallel to upper support surfaces of the first and second fork tines, wherein the slots are capable of receiving the horizontal, planar base of the hand cart therein.
A pallet sled comprising:
- a sled base having wheels;
- and
