Cart with foldable wheels and center pole

A cart comprising:

• a horizontal cargo platform traveling on foldable wheels, each wheel mounted on a wheel fork, the cargo platform having a top side and a bottom side,
• a vertically pivotable handle,
• wherein each wheel fork is pivotally mounted on the cargo platform about an axis parallel to the cargo platform,
• wherein each wheel is securable in an operating position projecting perpendicular from the bottom side of the cargo platform and in at least one folded position parallel to the cargo platform,
• wherein the handle is connected to the bottom side of the cargo platform via a swivel mount,
• wherein the handle is linked to the swivel mount in such a manner that it is foldable to a folded-in position parallel to the bottom side of the cargo platform,
• wherein the handle is securable in the folded-in position,
• wherein a wheel fork blocking element is secured to the wheel fork pivot axle;
• wherein the wheel fork blocking element cooperates with a detent element fixed to the wheel fork to secure the wheel fork in the operating position or the folded-in position;
• and
• wherein the swivel mount exhibits a U-shaped recess for receiving the wheel fork in a folded position.
