Abstract: A manually operable luggage cart includes a central and unitary storage chamber with planar top and bottom surfaces. The assembly further includes a handle that is pivotal between rectilinear oblong displaced positions extending parallel and diagonal to a longitudinal length of the storage chamber, a plurality of casters rotatably connected to the storage chamber, and a mechanism for automatically biasing the casters between exposed and retracted positions from the bottom surface of the storage chamber when the handle is pivoted between the parallel and diagonal positions and about a curvilinear path defined adjacent to the proximal end of the storage chamber. The adaptable luggage cart further includes a plurality of straps.
