Embodiments of the disclosure enable a cart to be stabilized. A stabilizing mechanism includes a body having a first surface and a second surface that define an elongated nook configured to receive a first rod member. A coupling device is coupled to the body at a third surface such that the coupling device is substantially parallel to the first and/or second surfaces. The coupling device defines an elongated channel configured to receive a second rod member. A wheel assembly is coupled to the body at a fourth surface and includes a first end portion, a second end portion, and a plurality of wheels rotatable about an axis of rotation. A first wheel is coupled to the first end portion, and a second wheel is coupled to the second end portion. Aspects of the disclosure provide for utilizing the cart to move a load across various terrains efficiently and effectively.
