Description and Table of Contents
Description
The major transport task facing most poor people is to move relatively small loads over short distances, usually off-road. This book describes basic transport technologies 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.
