A Carryall was a large winged, planet-bound ship that handled spice mining teams on Arrakis. They are usually piloted by a crew of six spice miners or "dunemen", and could carry spice harvesters from one area to another. When House Atreides took control of Arrakis, there were just over a thousand carryalls in the equipment inventory. The vast majority were in dire need of repair, and it was only about a third of how many required to cover all the harvesters.

- Historically, a carryall is a type of carriage used in the United States in the 19th century. It is a light, four-wheeled vehicle, usually drawn by a single horse and with seats for four or more passengers. The word is derived by folk etymology from the French carriole. In Canada, the term "carryall" is often also used to refer to a type of sleigh. It is about 4 m (13 ft) long and 0.5 m (1.5 ft) wide, fitted with a canvas or hide container. It is pulled by dogs or a snowmobile. It is used principally by trappers and hunters to transport people and goods.

| - A Carryall was a large winged, planet-bound ship that handled spice mining teams on Arrakis. They are usually piloted by a crew of six spice miners or "dunemen", and could carry spice harvesters from one area to another. Carryalls were a vital part of spice production. Spotters would be used to locate a spice blow, while the carryall would lift the harvesters from the surface and release them on the spice blows for mining. Moreover, since sandworms attacked all rhythmic vibrations, carryalls were required to lift the harvesters to safety when a worm attacked, a constant threat as harvesters generated considerable vibrations. Typically, the spotters would be used to locate wormsign, electrical charges and ripples in the sand indicating a worm was on its way. When House Atreides took control of Arrakis, there were just over a thousand carryalls in the equipment inventory. The vast majority were in dire need of repair, and it was only about a third of how many required to cover all the harvesters. At one point, a party including the Duke Leto Atreides was nearly killed when a worm attacked a harvester the party was observing. A Harkonnen agent among the crew had overpowered the others and tried to offload it to spice smugglers. The smugglers in question belonged to Esmar Tuek, and had turned over the man and carryall to Atreides forces. This gesture on the part of Tuek earned the gratitude of the Lady Jessica.
- Historically, a carryall is a type of carriage used in the United States in the 19th century. It is a light, four-wheeled vehicle, usually drawn by a single horse and with seats for four or more passengers. The word is derived by folk etymology from the French carriole. The name carryall was later used for a passenger automobile having a closed body and two facing seats along the sides . More recently, automobile manufacturers have employed the term for what were later called sport utility vehicles. These vehicles had panel truck bodies with side windows and removable rear seats. The Chevrolet Suburban SUV was once known as the Carryall Suburban. In Canada, the term "carryall" is often also used to refer to a type of sleigh. It is about 4 m (13 ft) long and 0.5 m (1.5 ft) wide, fitted with a canvas or hide container. It is pulled by dogs or a snowmobile. It is used principally by trappers and hunters to transport people and goods. The term is also used for a carrier with a scraperlike self-loading device drawn by a tractor, pushed by a bulldozer or self-propelled. It is used especially for hauling earth and crushed rock . Similarly in agricultural parlance it is often used to describe a platform device mounted to the rear three point linkage of smaller tractors for carrying materials particularly tools or stock feed.
