[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the multifunctional shower unit as described above is a long plastic panel having a height larger than a person's height and is integrated with nozzles and pipes. It is difficult to use a forklift because it easily deforms.

On the other hand, conventionally-used trolleys for work are not made especially considering products such as multifunctional shower units that are easily deformed by their own weight and have a large height. One worker is not enough to put the product on the trolley and carry it to the specified position without damaging it. For example, when the product is carried upright on a dolly, the product should not fall down or fall from the dolly, and when the product is laid down, it should not come into contact with the facilities and equipment in the factory. In addition, since it is necessary to constantly pay attention, in addition to the person who operates the trolley, a person who prevents the product from falling is required.

Further, even if an operator alone can carry the product to a predetermined blowout inspection position, the multifunctional shower product which is heavy and high in height must be set in a predetermined state at the inspection position. It is very difficult to do such a set work by yourself. Therefore, the help of other workers is inevitably required.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a trolley suitable for transporting a multifunctional shower unit that is relatively heavy and easily deformed by its own weight and has a large height. Therefore, the purpose is to enable this kind of multifunctional shower unit to be easily transported by one person to the blowout inspection position and set in a predetermined state.
