ox cart

Yoked beast's wagon

A cart pulled by oxen, used for hauling goods or people.

Ox carts were the standard heavy transport in agricultural societies before motorized vehicles, and remain in use in parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

The slow, steady pace of oxen made them ideal for rough terrain and heavy loads: The ox cart creaked along the rutted road.
