Abstract
A transporter comprising a pair of spaced hoops interconnected by a plurality of generally U-shaped spokes extending inwardly from the inner diameter of the hoops to form a central, generally circular opening. In order to provide a load carrying enclosure, band means such as ropes, chains, or cables are wrapped substantially around the central portions of the spokes. An opening is provided between any two adjacent spokes by not extending the bands entirely around all the spokes so that items may be placed into the load carrying enclosure. When the enclosure is full a load retaining means such as a tightener is fastened across the opening to pack the items together tightly and render them ready for transportation by rolling the transporter along a surface.
