Bogie
A low work cart or trolley that works fine on dry, hard, and flat ground but turns into a complete nightmare as soon as the terrain gets wet or soft — wheels sinking, grass twisting around the axles, stones jamming, metal rattling — not a cart made for a bog, but one that behaves like one.
The term apparently comes from XIXth century worker slang and survives today in railways, where a bogie is the wheeled frame mounted under a rail vehicle to carry loads and guide motion; depending on the design, a railcar may typically have two bogies per car or share them between cars.

“By the time the rain hit, they’d been hauling hogsheads all day for people who’d never touch a barrel in their lives. The grass snarled up the wheels, the cart locked solid, and someone muttered, ‘Leave it — the bogie’s had it.’
They propped it up wherever it would stay, rolled something to steady the nerves, muttered about the pay and the people who set it, and waited for the ground to harden enough to pretend the job could go on."
