Abstract

A transport device having a removable bucket. The bucket includes one or more tracks on opposite sides. The transport device includes a frame assembly having one or more arms corresponding to and capable of engaging the tracks. It also includes one or more movement mechanisms such as wheels or tracks. A latching assembly is also included. The latching assembly is rotatably coupled to the frame assembly and is also coupled to a handle assembly.
