A device (1) and a method for transporting objects. The device comprises a wheeled axle (2) carrying a frame (4) with a handle (5), an abutment plate (9) for abutment of a first, side of the object, and a lever (11) with a front end (F) carrying a thrust plate (21) for engaging an opposite second side of the object. The lever (11) is pivotable between a holding position, in which position the thrust plate (21) faces the abutment plate (9) and higher positions creating a larger distance between the thrust plate and the abutment plate, in the holding position the front end (F) of the lever (11) can, e.g., be at a level on or above the level of the axle (2). The abutment plate (9) can, e.g., extend below the wheels (3) when it is in a vertical position.
