ABSTRACT:
There is provided a transportable service cart with protective bumpers attached to the vertical corners of the service cart. The service cart of the present invention also comprises drawer handles that do not extend beyond a front surface of the drawers of the service cart or do not extend substantially beyond the front faces of the flanking protective bumpers. The service cart comprises features that prevent or minimize damage to the service cart, or to an object struck by the service cart, when the service cart engages another object. The protective bumpers attached to the outer side of each vertical corner of the service cart extend along at least a substantial portion of the height of the vertical corners to absorb a significant portion of an impact between the service cart and the other object. The drawer handles are attached to recessed surfaces in the front surfaces of the drawers and are advantageously bar type handles or extruded handles that comprise a gripping surface. A push handle may also be provided on the service cart and may comprise a protective overmold. Indicia indicating the manufacturer or retailer or other information may also be defined on various surfaces of the service cart, such as on the protective bumpers, the drawer handles, and/or the push handle.
