Abstract: A nesting utility cart is disclosed comprising wheels fixed to a cart deck. The cart decks may stack on top of each other such that at least a portion of the wheels of an overlaying similar cart deck may protrude below the bottom surface of the cart deck that it overlays. The protrusion of wheels through the cart deck may lock all of the stacked cart decks together. Tubing and netting may be fixed to the cart decks to form side walls securing cargo on the nesting utility cart.
