oxcarts

Yoked beast vehicles

Oxcarts are carts designed to be pulled by oxen—slow, sturdy vehicles historically used for hauling heavy loads over rough terrain.

The term often evokes preindustrial agriculture or developing regions where such transport remains practical: Oxcarts creaked along the dirt road toward market.

Figuratively, oxcart suggests outdated technology or glacial pace.
