– You can give the handcart to a follower (Alt+O), the handcart will behave as if it was you using it; (since 2.05)
– You can tell your follower to go sell stuff from the handcart across all Skyrim, he will expect you to escort him: (since 2.07)
you can press “Shift+U” to auto-follow him;

– The handcart can be used as “object”, you can reach higher places by jumping on it;
– Every merchant in the game will have their goods shown as handcarts. The merchants will unequip their handcarts when in combat or when sleeping – making it possible for you to steal his stuff; (since 2.07)
– When looting a container, any new items you acquire when using the handcart will be transferred from your inventory to the handcart unless its a healing potion/food, unread books or a possible best armor/weapon (in this case they will stay in your inventory);
– The amount of items that must be kept with you (potions/food/weapons/armor/etc) are configurable; (since 2.02)
– The handcart can be used as “skateboard” to go down the hills (I still can’t make it turn left or right, but I’m working on it);

– There is a shortcut to automatically move all items from the handcart to a container in front of you (Alt+U).
friend: Hey wellsantos, all this features are cool, but I don’t like the fact I have to drag this chest with wheels all the time!
wellsantos: So give the handcart to a follower, set the ‘follower with handcart – confidence’ configuration to ‘avoid combat’ and you’ll never have to carry the handcart; (since 2.05)
friend: No way! I hate followers!
wellsantos: All right, all right. Then go to the configurations and choose ‘hide the handcart, but keep all functionality’. (since 2.06)
Instructions:
– To start the barter menu with a person in front of you, press “U”;
– To store or retrieve an item from the handcart, press “O”, a normal chest menu will open allowing you to take or store items;
– To carry the handcart with you, you just have to pick it up as any normal item; you can also press “O” to pick up the handcart if it is nearby;
– Whenever you equip a weapon, the handcart will be dropped and you must pick it up again;
– Hold Alt while equipping a weapon to drop the handcart in front of you, instead of drop at your back;
– Hold Shift while equipping a weapon to place the handcart in the ground, it will not move when touched, and you will be able to use it to reach higher places by jumping on it;
– To enter in skate mode you must jump on the top of the handcart; jump again to leave;
– Cheat: press “Shift + O” to teleport and equip the handcart in yourself, no matter where it was.
When I say Alt or Shift, I mean the Alt/Shift in the left side of the keyboard, the ones in the right side are not mapped.
Troubleshooting:
– If you have installed any mod that adds animated armor/weapon, the handcart may become invisible when equipped. You can change the handcart “biped object” to 52 (or other value of your choice) in the configuration to prevent this behaviour; (since 2.04)
– If you told to your follower to go sell the stuff and he is waiting doing nothing, its because he can’t see a way to travel to the merchant. Probably because the merchant is sleeping or inside a place with locked doors. If you go to sleep or wait until 8:00 (when people usually leave their homes) the follower will then be able to travel to them;
