Abstract: A wheeled cart capable of carrying luggage is reciprocated vertically between at least two vertical elevations. The luggage cart is manually pushed into a carriage contained within a support structure that acts as its vertical guide way. The carriage has no platform and is designed to capture the cart with rails suitable for lifting it vertically from its loading elevation to a higher elevation by a hoist. The cart is unloaded and reloaded with luggage and then reciprocates down to its starting position where it is pulled out of the carriage and rolled to a different unloading location.
