== Human-powered carts == Of the cart types not animal-drawn, perhaps the most common example today is the shopping cart ([[British English]]: shopping trolley), which has also come to have a [[metaphor]]ical meaning in relation to online purchases (here, British English uses the metaphor of the shopping basket). Shopping carts first made their appearance in [[Oklahoma City]] in 1937. In golf, both manual push or pull and electric [[golf trolley]]s are designed to carry a golfer's bag, clubs and other equipment. Also, the golf cart, car, or buggy, is a powered vehicle that carries golfers and their equipment around a golf course faster and with less effort than walking. A [[Porter (carrier)|Porter's trolley]] is a type of small, hand-propelled wheeled platform. This can also be called a [[baggage cart]].<!--since the 13th century.-->{{Citation needed|date=August 2010}} Autocarts are a type of small, hand-propelled wheeled utility carts having a pivoting base for collapsible storage in vehicles. They eliminate the need for plastic or paper shopping bags and are also used by [[tradesperson]]s to carry tools, equipment or supplies. A [[soap-box cart]] (also known as a billy cart, go-cart, trolley etc.) is a popular children's construction project on wheels, usually pedaled, but also intended for a test race. Similar, but more sophisticated are modern-day pedal cart toys used in general recreation and racing. The term "go-kart" (also shortened as "kart", an alternative spelling of "cart"), has existed since 1959, and refers to a tiny [[race car]] with a frame and [[two-stroke engine]]. The old term ''go-cart'' originally meant a [[sedan chair]] or an [[infant walker]]. Other carts: * [[Pulled rickshaw|Rickshaw]]: Transport for humans. * Pushcart: a cart that is pushed by one or more persons. * AV cart: a cart traditionally used for transporting audiovisual equipment such as televisions. In more recent years, they have been used as [[standing desk]]s, especially in [[school administration]].<ref>{{Cite web| title = The Cart That Brought the Boob Tube to the Classroom| url = https://tedium.co/2023/01/28/school-audiovisual-cart-history/ |first=Ernie |last=Smith |date=January 28, 2023 |website=tedium.co}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web| title = Brilliant or bad idea?
