Heavy load carrier is a mechanism use to ease the lifting of heavy load by reducing the force need and increase the capacity of the load.The design of the heavy load carrier is to improve the working condition mostly for the labor and personal use. Thus, the heavy load carrier can be used to move the load in short distance without using any vehicle such as lorry or forklift which can reduce the cost of transportation. The heavy load carrier must be applicable in multi terrain which mean can be use on level ground or stair-like terrain. Moreover, the ability of the heavy load carrier which can be used in multi terrain is due to its capability to lift the load in multi method base on applicable terrain. The multi method of lifting the load such as trolley, backpack, wheel bag luggage and other manual lifting had being combined together in this mechanism. The heavy load carrier shape and degree of freedom can be change easily base on the method of lifting. The heavy load carrier installed by tire and handle with steady and sturdy frame. While the heavy load carrier used in level ground the shape of wheel bag luggage can be used, for small quantity of load the heavy load can be push with two tires and string to support the load. While for huge quantity of load the shape of heavy load change to trolley. The handle used to push the heavy load before will be use as the frame to support the load with the help of string.Then the trolley can be pull by the beam as a handle. Furthermore, in stair-like terrain, the heavy load can be change into the back-pack shape which the handle for the bag luggage shape will be use as a support to carry the load from the ground.
