A utility cart has features that allow it to be used over rough ground and stairways. The cart is a two wheel cart, with a base plate that projects forwardly for balancing the cart upright. The cart is rolled by tilting it rearwardly with handles. The cart has a back plate that is mounted across the frame and has a number of retainers for releasably retaining storage bins. Side plates are located on the sides of the base plate and back plate. The side plates have retainers for holding tools. Brackets on the insides of the side plates will receive a shaft for holding a spool of wire. The brackets will also receive a rung. The cart can then be used as a ladder. Braces extend rearwardly from the axle for facilitating moving the cart over stairways. A cover fits over the upper and front edges of the side plate to provide a secure enclosure. The cover can be moved to an open position where it will also serve as a temporary work table.
