Abstract
A collapsible cart for transporting multiple items includes a horizontal platform with wheels for maneuvering and a rack mounted thereto in an upwardly extending configuration. At least one basket supporting assembly for alternately stowing and deploying at least one basket is attached to the rack. The cart includes a linear actuator for selectively altering the position of the basket along the rack. The cart includes a ramp support coupled to the rack having a ramp for movement between retracted and extended configurations and being pivotal to enable the basket to slide from the basket support assembly to a storage location. The linear actuator may also be utilized to move a basket from a storage location, e.g. a trunk, to the basket supporting assembly.
