## Abstract

A foldable handcart includes a handle, a cart frame, a carrier board, two wheel seats and two wheels. Two frame seats are deposited on the carrier board for pivoting the carrier board on the cart frame. A front side and a top side are defined on the frame seat. A corner formed by the front side and the top side is a round corner. Therefore when the foldable handcart is not in use, a user presses down the foldable handcart and the wheel seats contact with the corners to rotate the carrier board up slightly according to the lever principle. The user further folds the foldable handcart easily. Furthermore, the carrier board is completely escaping the ground when the foldable handcart is folded.
