DEF

A small, two-wheel truck, with two handles, used in handling merchandise of comparatively small dimensions over short distances.

CONT

Hand trucks with two wheels permit most of the load to be carried on the wheels, but some of the load must be assumed by the operator to balance the truck during movement. Common two-wheel hand trucks include the barrel, box, drum, hopper, refrigerator, paperroll, and tote-box trucks.

Key term(s)
  • two-wheeled truck

DEF

Petit chariot à deux roues basses, dont on se sert dans les entrepôts pour déplacer les caisses, les sacs, les colis.

CONT

Diable. (...) On trouve de nombreux modèles spécialement étudiés pour des manutentions particulières: bouteilles de gaz, bonbonnes, etc.

OBS

«cabrouet» : Sur cinq dictionnaires français consultés, deux seulement font mention du mot "cabrouet", QUENC et LGRAN, et seul le second le donne comme synonyme de "diable", ce qui donne à penser qu'il est bel et bien sorti de l'usage.
