Baggage cart
Baggage carts, Luggage carts or Trolleys are small vehicles pushed by travelers (human-powered) to carry individual
luggage, mostly suitcases. There are two major sizes: One for
big luggage and one for small luggage. Carts have usually two parts for carrying luggage: A small section (basket) for Carry on
luggage at the same level as the handle, and a lowered large section for suitcases and large bags.
The carts are provided in airports, large
Baggage carts are usually built out of steel and equipped with four wheels. For safety reasons, they are generally fitted with a brake. Usually, a handle has to be pushed down in order to move the cart, however, in some cases, such as London airports, the handle activates the brake. Very few carts, e.g. in developing countries such as Sri Lanka, do not have this feature.
Most of the time the carts are collected by personnel. Large amounts of carts can be collected by an electric vehicle for towing.
