Apparatus for hauling and storing supplies

An apparatus, comprising:

• a vertical frame portion, the vertical frame portion configured with two pairs of mounting brackets, the mounting brackets of each pair being attached to opposing sides of the vertical frame portion at a corresponding particular vertical height, the mounting brackets of each pair adapted for removable attachment of a first storage rack and a second storage rack, the storage racks each comprising an open frame in which a plurality of containers for holding supplies are suspendable and configured with a pair of mounting arms extending from the open frame in a perpendicular direction and coplanar therewith, wherein:
• an outer dimension of the mounting arms is adapted for removably sliding within the mounting brackets to provide the removable attachment;
• and
• the opposing sides of the vertical frame portion each have an open terminal end at a top end thereof;
• a horizontal base portion attached to a bottom end of the vertical frame portion;
• a pair of rotatable wheels connected to an axle, the axle being connected to the vertical frame portion;
• at least one pair of support members attached to the vertical frame portion for hanging the storage racks therefrom when detached, the support members of the pair being attached to opposing sides of the vertical frame portion at a same vertical height;
• and
• a removably attachable suspension member adapted for suspending supplies from the apparatus when attached to the open terminal ends of the frame portion, the suspension member comprising a side member configured with a pair of suspension member mounting arms extending perpendicularly therefrom and coplanar therewith, wherein an outer dimension of the suspension member mounting arms is adapted for removably sliding within the open terminal ends of the frame portion to provide the removable attachment of the suspension member.

A method for hauling and storing supplies, comprising:

• storing a plurality of supplies upon an apparatus, the apparatus configured to comprise:
• a vertical frame portion, the vertical frame portion configured with at least one pair of mounting brackets, the mounting brackets of the pair being attached to opposing sides of the vertical frame portion at a particular vertical height, the mounting brackets of the pair adapted for removable attachment of a storage rack, the storage rack comprising an open frame in which a plurality of containers for holding the supplies is suspendable and configured with a pair of mounting arms extending from the open frame in a perpendicular direction and coplanar therewith, wherein:
• an outer dimension of the mounting arms is adapted for removably sliding within the mounting brackets to provide the removable attachment;
• and
• the opposing sides of the vertical frame portion each have an open terminal end at a top end thereof;
• a horizontal base portion attached to a bottom end of the vertical frame portion;
• a pair of rotatable wheels connected to an axle, the axle being connected to the vertical frame portion;
• at least one pair of support members attached to the vertical frame portion for hanging the storage rack therefrom when detached, the support members of the pair being attached to opposing sides of the vertical frame portion at a same vertical height;
• and
• a removably attachable suspension member adapted for suspending supplies from the apparatus when attached to the open terminal ends of the frame portion, the suspension member comprising a side member configured with a pair of suspension member mounting arms extending perpendicularly therefrom and coplanar therewith, wherein an outer dimension of the suspension member mounting arms is adapted for removably sliding within the open terminal ends of the frame portion to provide the removable attachment of the suspension member;
• and
• hauling the supplies from a first physical location to a second physical location while the supplies are stored upon the apparatus.
