pushcarts
Street seller wheels
Pushcarts are small wheeled carts pushed by hand, typically used by street vendors to sell food, flowers, or other goods.
The word evokes urban street commerce—hot dog vendors in New York, fruit sellers in open markets.
Pushcart vendors lined the sidewalks outside the stadium.
