Abstract
A housing structure for wheeled equipment includes a housing with top, bottom, and side portions. Multiple wheeled supports are mounted on the bottom portion to enable movement of the housing. A grip is positioned on the top portion or upper side portion of the housing for manual grasping during tilting operations. A footstep is located at the bottom portion between two rear wheeled supports on the side opposite the advancing direction. The footstep is positioned forward of the center axis of the rear wheels' diameters relative to the housing's advancing direction. This arrangement allows an operator to step on the footstep while gripping the upper portion to tilt the housing backward, with the rear wheel contact points serving as pivot points during the tilting operation.
