A steering assist system (SAS) for a cart is provided. The SAS may include an activation mechanism, a first actuation mechanism, a first support mechanism, a first linkage mechanism, a first stopping mechanism, and a first engagement mechanism. The first stopping mechanism may be configured to abut the first engagement mechanism to impede or prevent rotational movement of at least one wheel of the cart. The first actuation mechanism may be connected to the first linkage mechanism and the first linkage mechanism may be connected to the first stopping mechanism. The activation mechanism may be configured to activate the first actuation mechanism, causing the first linkage mechanism and the first stopping mechanism to move. The first stopping mechanism may be configured to move between a fully activated position and a fully deactivated position.

Steering assist system for a push cart

The present disclosure describes a cart having an adjustable handle system, the cart having: a chassis supported on wheels; a horizontal work surface having a perimeter defined by at least a front edge, a rear edge, and two side edges; a stationary handle connected to, and extending along the perimeter of the horizontal work surface from an origination point located on the rear edge to a connecting point located on one of the two side edges; a moveable handle axially coupled to the stationary handle at the connecting point and extending along the perimeter of the horizontal work surface from the connecting point to an end point located on the front edge; and an adjustable connecting device connecting the moveable handle to the stationary handle at the connecting point and controlling the angular position of the moveable handle relative to the stationary handle.
