Vehicle loadable cart

Abstract

A vehicle loadable cart for loading into a trunk of a vehicle, having a floor and a rear wall which is higher than the floor, is disclosed. The cart includes a chassis, a retractable main wheel assembly for supporting the chassis when transported over a ground surface, and at least one auxiliary wheel assembly with a deployment mechanism that is adapted to shift the auxiliary wheel assembly between a retracted state, in which the auxiliary wheel assembly is raised so as to allow the chassis to pass in a substantially horizontal position over the rear wall of the trunk, and a deployed state, in which said at least one auxiliary wheel assembly extends downward so as to support the chassis above the trunk floor at an elevation equal to or higher than the rear wall of the trunk, allowing wheeling the cart further into the trunk. When the cart is inside the trunk said at least one auxiliary wheel assembly may be retracted to lower the chassis onto the floor of the trunk.
