Abstract

The present invention provides an improved dolly which is not only effective in terms of return logistics but also simple in design and easy to use. The novel dolly includes a chassis, which has an upper side with a load carrying surface, and an opposing underside. The dolly also includes a tow bar, which is arranged slidably to the underside of the chassis via a pivoting mechanism, which is configured to pivot the tow bar about a horizontal axis. The chassis of the dolly includes a corresponding hitch, which allows pivoting action about a vertical axis between the tow bar and the hitch.
