Low-Cost Load-Carrying Devices: The Design and Manufacture of Some Basic Means of Transport
No Customer Reviews
The major transport task facing most poor people is to move relatively small loads over short distances, usually off-road. Poor people have very limited access to motorized transport, and even animal-drawn carts may be unaffordable to many households. There is however, a range of lower-cost transport devices which can reduce the time and effort spent in transport compared to, for example, traditional headloading. These are the basic transport technologies described in Low-cost Load-carrying Devices. They cover: carrying aids such as shoulder poles and back-frames; wheelbarrows and handcarts; carriers and panniers for bicycles; and load-carrying panniers for animals and animal-drawn sledges.
