Abstract: A storage device for transporting equipment includes a housing having a base end, a pair of retractable wheels, and a foot operated actuator for retracting and extending the wheels from the housing. The housing defines at least one compartment for storing the equipment. The housing has a handle at an upper end thereof, an open front defining an opening into the housing, and a door for selectively closing the open front. The actuator is coupled to a lower end of the housing towards its base end. Actuation of the actuator displaces the wheels between retracted and extended positions while the housing is resting on its base end. A user while grasping the handle depresses a foot pedal component of the actuator to extend the wheels against the resiliently biased return force of a spring. A manually operated latch releases the wheels to their retracted position urged by the spring.

Abstract: A storage device for transporting equipment includes a housing, a pair of retractable wheels, and an actuator for retracting and extending the wheels from the housing. The housing defines at least one compartment for storing the equipment. The housing has an open front defining an opening into the housing, and a door for selectively closing the open front. The actuator is coupled to the housing and the wheels so as to displace the first and the second retractable wheels between a retracted first and an extended second position. The actuator includes a handle which is extended from the housing when the wheels are extended and which is retracted flush with the housing when the wheels are retracted.
