What is claimed is: 1. A material-moving device suitable for loading, unloading, and transporting at least one item thereon by a single person, said material-moving device comprising: a platform portion for holding at least one item thereon, said platform portion including a substantially rectangul
What is claimed is: 1. A material-moving device suitable for loading, unloading, and transporting at least one item thereon by a single person, said material-moving device comprising: a platform portion for holding at least one item thereon, said platform portion including a substantially rectangular base panel defined by an upper surface, a lower surface, and a perimeter, a pair of parallel side walls and a back wall extending upwardly from said base panel perimeter, said platform portion including a front perimeter edge located opposite said back wall and constructed and arranged for loading and unloading said items thereon; a first and second pair of wheels, each said pair of wheels rotatably attached to said platform portion in a manner which enables the front perimeter edge to pivot between a position where said upper surface is substantially parallel to the ground and a position juxtaposed thereto; an elongated handle having an upper end and a lower end, said lower end is attached to said platform portion proximate said back wall, said upper end includes a steering grip for the user to maneuver said material-moving device; and an auxiliary handle attached to said elongated handle in a manner effective to allow a single user to control the pivotal movement of said material-moving device while simultaneously gripping at least one item being loaded or unloaded onto said platform portion and further attached to said elongated handle in a telescoping manner whereby the user is able to adjust the location of said auxiliary handle along said elongated handle. 2. The material-moving device of claim 1, wherein said auxiliary handle is removably attached to said elongated handle such that the user is able to switch between left-and right-handed use. 3. The material-moving device of claim 1, wherein the outmost width of cart is about 34 inches to allow passage through standard garden gates and doors. 4. The material-moving device of claim 1, wherein the length of said platform base is about 35 inches. 5. The material-moving device of claim 1, wherein said first pair of wheels contain a center, said center located about 13 inches from said front perimeter edge. 6. The material-moving device of claim 1, wherein said second pair of wheels contain a center, said center located about 26 inches from said front perimeter edge. 7. The material-moving device of claim 1, wherein said platform portion, said elongated handle and said auxiliary handle are constructed from an inert material selected from the group consisting essentially of; aluminum, steel, or polymeric material. 8. The material-moving device of claim 1, wherein said elongated handle is about 44 inches long. 9. The material-moving device of claim 1, wherein the length of said platform base is about 35 inches. 10. A material-moving device suitable for loading, unloading, and transporting at least one item thereon by a single person, said material-moving device comprising: a platform portion for holding at least one item thereon, said platform portion including a substantially rectangular base panel defined by an upper surface, a lower surface, and a perimeter, a pair of parallel side walls and a back wall extending upwardly from said base panel perimeter, said platform portion including a front perimeter edge located opposite said back wall and constructed and arranged for loading and unloading said items thereon; a first and second pair of wheels, each said pair of wheels rotatably attached to said platform portion in a manner which enables the front perimeter edge to pivot between a position where said upper surface is substantially parallel to the ground and a position juxtaposed thereto; an elongated handle having an upper end and a lower end, said lower end is attached to said platform portion proximate said back wall, said upper end includes a steering grip for the user to maneuver said material-moving device; an auxiliary handle attached to said elongated handle in a manner effective to allow a single user to control the pivotal movement of said material-moving device while simultaneously gripping at least one item being loaded or unloaded onto said platform portion; and a material retaining portion defined by a substantially rectangular bottom panel integrally connected to a pair of parallel side walls, a front wall, and a back wall extending upwardly from said bottom panel perimeter of said material-moving device, said material retaining portion is constructed and arranged to reside within said base panel perimeter of said device. 11. The material-moving device of claim 10, wherein said auxiliary handle is attached to said elongated handle in a telescoping manner whereby the user is able to adjust the location of said auxiliary handle along said elongated handle. 12. The material-moving device of claim 10, wherein said material retaining portion is pivotally attached to the sidewalls of said platform portion at a location proximate to said front perimeter edge of said platform, said material retaining portion is constructed and arranged to pivot between a position where said bottom panel resides on said base panel of said device and a dumping position where said bottom panel is parallel to said ground. 13. The material-moving device of claim 10, wherein the outmost width of cart is about 34 inches to allow passage through standard garden gates and doors. 14. The material-moving device of claim 10, wherein said first pair of wheels contain a center, said center located about 13 inches from said front perimeter edge. 15. The material-moving device of claim 10, wherein said second pair of wheels contain a center, said center located about 26 inches from said front perimeter edge. 16. The material-moving device of claim 10, wherein said platform portion, said elongated handle and said auxiliary handle are constructed from an inert material selected from the group consisting essentially of; aluminum, steel, or polymeric material. 17. The material-moving device of claim 10, wherein said elongated handle is about 44 inches long.
