The modular moving carts include removable, attachable shelf storage units which are useful in two, three or four different positions. By changing the relative positions of the units, i.e., standing and facing one direction, they form bookcases/storage areas having a depth to accommodate books, or to form deep shelves to accommodate computers, typewriters, etc., and in a position lying down, to form a container or bin. The cart includes a rectangular base member having four outer edges adapted to support and retain two or more shelf storage units and has a predetermined width, a predetermined length and a predetermined area (based on the width multiplied by the length), with a plurality of wheels attached thereto. There is also at least one first type of shelf storage unit and at least one second type of shelf storage unit included in the present invention. The first shelf storage unit has a top, a bottom, and two opposing vertical side walls situated perpendicularly to the top and bottom, and an open front and an open back. The first shelf storage unit is removably attachable to the rectangular base member. The second shelf storage unit has a top, a bottom, two opposing vertical side walls, a back wall and an open front, and is removably attachable to the rectangular base member. The second shelf storage unit has a first vertical placement position and a second vertical placement position, and at least one horizontal placement position.

1. A Modular Container/Bookshelf Moving Cart, which comprises:(a) a rectangular base member having four outer edges adapted to support and retain a plurality of shelf storage units, said rectangular base member having a predetermined width, a predetermined length and a predetermined area based on said width multiplied by said length, said rectangular base member having a plurality of wheels attached thereto for movement of said rectangular base member; (b) a first shelf storage unit, having a top, a bottom, and two opposing vertical side walls situated perpendicularly to said top and said bottom, said first shelf storage unit having an open front and an open back, said first shelf storage unit being removably attachable to said rectangular base member, and, when in a first position, being a vertical placement position, extending vertically from said rectangular base member with said top facing upwardly away from said rectangular base member, and when in a second position, being a horizontal position, extending horizontally relative to said rectangular base member with said top being vertically positioned, said first shelf storage unit further containing at least one set of shelf-retaining members located therein for retaining at least one removable shelf in a preselected position therein; (c) a second shelf storage unit, having a top, a bottom, two opposing vertical side walls, a back wall and an open front, said second shelf storage unit being removably attachable to said rectangular base member, said second shelf storage unit having a first vertical placement position and a second vertical placement position, and having at least one horizontal placement position, said second shelf storage unit, when in its first vertical placement position, extending vertically from said rectangular base member with said back wall being positioned away from said outer edges, and, when in its second vertical placement position, extending vertically from said rectangular base member with said back wall being positioned adjacent one of said outer edges, and, when in its at least one horizontal placement position, extending horizontally relative to said rectangular base member and positionable below said first shelf storage unit when in its horizontal placement position, said second shelf storage unit further containing at least one set of shelf-retaining members located therein for retaining at least one removable shelf in a preselected position therein; and, further, wherein when said second shelf storage unit is in said first vertical placement position, said back wall is inwardly displaced upon said base adjoining said first shelf storage unit thereby establishing an interior dividing wall and establishing a dual open sided modular moving cart, and wherein when said second shelf storage unit is in said second vertical placement position, said back wall is located proximate to at least one outer edge of said base, thereby establishing a rear wall and further establishing a single open sided, deep modular moving cart, and, wherein when said second shelf storage unit is in said horizontal placement position, said back wall is horizontally nesting on said rectangular base member, and, with or without said first shelf storage unit, further establishing a container.
