Abstract
An apparatus for simultaneously transporting a plurality of wheeled carriers is provided. First and second end frames are interconnected by central spine elements from which extend a plurality of arms which define discrete cells configured to accept the individual carriers. Straps between the end frames and arms or between arms are provided to secure the carriers to the transportation apparatus. In use, the wheeled carriers may be moved as a group while allowing a carrier to be removed from or inserted into any cell without disrupting the other carriers and without necessitating the carriers themselves being placed on a larger wheeled carrier for transport.
