Disclosed is a cart having a number of stretcher-like platforms suitable for placement and storage of a medical training manikin. The platforms are mounted to the cart such that they may be substantially pulled out in a direction parallel to their width, so as to facilitate easy loading and unloading of the manikins as well as to provide user access to the manikin when in its proper position on the platform if needed. The cart may include a series of electrical connectors for powering and/or charging the manikins during storage. Additionally, the electrical connectors may be selectively fed by an on-board battery which would enable the manikins to be powered and/or charged even during transport. The cart also preferably includes a motorized lift system, powered by an on-board battery, which raises and lowers the various platforms to allow the height of each platform to be brought to a loading level.
