Description

A cart, also known as a trolley, is a wheeled device used to carry or transport goods and materials.
In Japan, carts are commonly used in markets, warehouses, factories, and homes to move heavy or bulky items easily.
They come in various sizes and designs, from small hand-pushed trolleys to larger industrial carts.
Many carts have sturdy frames and wheels designed to handle different surfaces, including smooth floors and rough terrain.
Carts improve efficiency and reduce physical strain in daily tasks and commercial operations.
They are essential tools in logistics, retail, and manufacturing industries throughout Japan.

The use of carts dates back thousands of years and has been integral to human transportation and trade.
In Japan, traditional wooden carts called “dashi” were used in festivals and for carrying goods in ancient times.
With industrialization, metal and rubber-wheeled carts became widespread in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Modern carts incorporate ergonomic designs and materials such as aluminum and plastic for durability and ease of use.
Today, carts remain vital in many sectors, helping to streamline work and improve safety.
They continue to evolve with innovations like motorized trolleys and automated guided vehicles.
