Abstract
An airline baggage cart includes a wheeled chassis, a mounting assembly, and a cart body. The mounting assembly includes angle brackets for attachment to the chassis and to dampened runner members. The cart body includes a base frame and four corner posts secured to the base frame, roof supports secured to the corner posts, and corrugated metal wall panels secured to the posts. A roof panel formed from a single sheet of metal is secured to the roof supports, and a floor panel formed from a single sheet of metal is secured to the base frame. The runners may be raised by the angle brackets above the chassis frame by a sufficient distance to allow a forklift fork to enter between the chassis frame and the runners for lifting the baggage cart with improved stability and decreased likelihood of damage to the cart.
