Abstract
A material cart includes an elongated framed structure having two ends and two sides and utilizes an elevated top assembly with which the framed structure can be suspended from the forks, or a fork, of a forklift truck. The top assembly includes a pair of fork-accepting mounts wherein each mount includes a body of substantially U-shaped cross section having two leg sections and a top section joining the two leg sections. The two leg sections of each mount are joined to the elongated frame so that a first fork-accepting opening is provided by the mount and is adapted to accept a fork of a forklift truck directed therein from a side of the framed structure. The leg sections of each mount define a pair of aligned cutouts which provide a second fork-accepting opening of the mount for accepting a fork of a forklift truck directed therein from an end of the framed structure.
