A combination cart and ladder that is configured to be transported across a surface, comprising:

• a base;
• a plurality of wheels coupled with said base for transporting said base across the surface;
• a container supported by said base;
• a ladder section comprising a frame that is pivotally coupled with said base, and a plurality of steps supported by said frame, said ladder section moveable between a first position in which a portion of said ladder section is in contact with the surface thereby preventing said wheels from transporting said base and an second position in which said wheels are free to transport said base;
• and
• a resilient member coupling said base and a portion of said ladder section spaced a distance from where said ladder section is pivotally coupled with said base, said resilient member biasing said ladder section to its second position.
