The invention relates to a cart for the transport of materials, said cart comprising a base stretching out in a longitudinal direction (L) and in a transverse direction (T) that are mutually perpendicular and a peripheral wall extending from said base in a vertical direction (V) perpendicular to said longitudinal direction (L) and said transverse direction (T). The base comprises a plurality of cross members extending between opposite sides of a rounded profile mounted on a lower edge of said peripheral wall, said cross members being restrained thereto at their ends by way of mounting means. Each cross member comprises a profiled bar that has a longitudinal through cavity and a pair of connecting elements that are telescopically fitted in said longitudinal through cavity and protrude from its ends, said connecting elements being provided with respective attachment means arranged at their respective free ends facing said rounded profile, said attachment means being configured to match the rounded profile.
