A handcart for addressing the specific equipment needs of emergency responders such as fire fighters, police, hazardous material technicians, forensic technicians, explosive ordinance disposal technicians, and others. Differential steering and sizing of a pull handle allow the trailer to fit within a stairwell and an elevator, and allow the handcart to be used in buildings such as by firefighters. An optional pressurized gas bottle rack may be installed by such firefighters to extend their working time in a building fire. Large tires avoid sinking into soft ground. A handbrake automatically keeps the handcart in place on uneven ground. A foldable wash table engageable to a keel drawbar receptacle enables hazardous material decontamination, especially in conjunction with a water reservoir and a splash guard protecting the handcart. For explosive ordinance disposal, a disrupter arm may be mounted to the keel drawbar receptacle, especially with a blast shield attached to the rear of the handcart for personnel protection.
