Abstract
A portable cart assembly for use in tile or marble installation and for transporting mortar, water, tiles, marble, and associated tools. A low elevation platform carries a mortar pail just above floor level such that the top of the mortar pail is at the lowest possible level. The low level minimizes the amount of bending required from a tile worker to reach the mortar during installation of tiles or marble. The device has offset wheels which are attached to the perimeter of the platform such that the wheels allow mobility but do not increase the clearance between the low elevation platform and the floor. The wheels can be attached to an optional raised perimeter ring that provides auxiliary storage for tools. Multiple carts can be attached in train like fashion and pulled to the work site by a handle assembly.
