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.
