Things with wheels that can be used to transport people and stuff.

We’ve been thinking about this a bit: perhaps part of the standard inventory for CERT teams should be a few cargo bicycles or carts that can be pulled by bicycles – or by people. (It’s hard to find donkeys and burros in our part of Brooklyn).

Here’s a design from the Netherlands:

Dutch Cargo Tricycle

Here’s a link to the U.S. importer. They’ve got a number of other models, too.

Here’s cart – other models of this product are in use by the U.S. military – they’ve got one that supports a stretcher – check out how compactly it stores:

Charlie’s Horse Model 601

And here it is folded up:

We’re going to see if we can find them in use locally and see how they hold up.
