A cart adapted to carry utility trays for tools, fasteners, materials, and a plurality of wire spools from place to place. The cart include racks for selectively holding spools and trays. The cart can be translated between upright and substantially horizontal positions without emptying the contents in the tray onto the ground. The tray is pivotally supported by the cart so that the tray remains upright as the cart is translated between upright and substantially horizontal positions. The cart is also supported by an increased base provided by an extension plate extending forwardly from the cart, to thereby provide greater stability and facilitate use of the cart with relatively large diameter wire spools.
