Abstract
A luggage cart weighing apparatus includes a luggage platform, a plurality of wheels for supporting the platform, one or more weight measuring devices, and a user interface. The one or more weight measuring devices are disposed intermediate the second surface of the platform and at least one wheel of the plurality of wheels. The user interface is disposed adjacent the platform. The user interface is in electrical communication with the one or more weight measuring devices for providing information concerning a weight of one or more items loaded onto the platform.
