trundle

Roll slowly forward

Trundle means to move slowly and heavily, often with a rolling or rumbling quality: The cart trundled down the cobblestone street.

It suggests something wheeled or round moving steadily but without speed or grace.

A trundle bed is a low bed on casters that slides under a larger bed for storage.

To trundle along is to proceed at an unhurried, plodding pace: We trundled through the day's tasks.
