20100013178 | HAND TRUCK FOR TRANSPORTING A PAIL - A hand truck, for transporting a large pail, includes a frame that has a shaft with one end to which a user handle is attached and another end attached to a middle portion of a U-shaped frame section. The U-shaped frame section has two spaced-apart legs with a separate wheel mounted to each leg. A boom is attached to and projects away from the frame and has a receiver for engaging a handle of the pail. When the receiver is engaging the handle of the pail, rotating the frame about the wheels raises the pail which thereby becomes suspended from the boom. The pail, when suspended, is able to swing freely on the boom without striking the frame or the wheels. | 01-21-2010 |
20100253025 | Utility Hand-Truck - A hand truck has a front load platform, a rear load platform, and a pair of lower wheel assemblies and a pair of upper wheel assemblies. The load platforms and the wheel assemblies fold and nest into the frame of the hand truck, resulting in a stored position in which the thickness is approximately the same as the side rails of the hand truck. Raising and lowering of the front load platform causes the lower wheel assemblies to move back and forth from the operational position to the storage position. Likewise, raising and lower of the rear load platform causes the upper wheel assemblies to move back and forth from the operational position to the storage position. | 10-07-2010 |
20110121528 | HAND CART UNLOADING SYSTEM WITH ROTATABLE HANDLE - A system for assisting a user in unloading a hand cart is provided, including a rotatable handle for assisting the user in tilting the cart.

The extension unit is canted slightly toward the ground when the cart is in a free-standing upright orientation. The extension unit include a plate and a strap. The plate is on top of the toe plate. The strap extends from the plate and down and beneath the toe plate. A fastener extends laterally from the toe plate and through the extension unit. The fastener secures the extension unit on the toe plates, generates a tensile force acting to displace the extension unit away from the peripheral edge of the toe plate, and generates compressive force which presses the extension unit against the toe plate. | 11-03-2011 |

20120299259 | HAND TRUCK OUTRIGGER - An extender accessory for a hand truck having a frame with two vertical frame portions, a plurality of cross bars connected between the frame portions, a pair of axle mounted wheels at lower ends of the frame portions and a platform extending forwardly from the lower ends of the frame portions. The extender accessory comprises an L-shaped support member being of a length longer than the width of the platform. A mechanism is for removably attaching the L-shaped support member against the lower ends of the frame portions and sit upon the platform. The L-shaped support member will overhang opposite sides of the platform, to allow the L-shaped support member to carry and stabilize a variety of loads placed thereon. | 11-29-2012 |

The support base has a pair of holding portions and a recess portion disposed between the holding portions. The fork unit has a pivoting portion connected pivotally to the support base, an inserting portion opposite to the pivoting portion, and a connecting portion interconnecting the pivoting portion and the inserting portion. The fork unit is pivotable between a retracted position, where the inserting portion and the connecting portion are adjacent to the support base, and a projected position, where the inserting portion and the connecting portion are away from the support base. | 04-28-2016 |

20130270785 | DUAL DIRECTIONAL HAND TRUCK - A hand truck comprised of a frame assembly and a wheel assembly connected by slidable cylinders permitting both vertical and rotational movement between the cylinders. The frame assembly cylinder is mounted at a predetermined angle so that when the cylinder is vertical, the frame is reclined in a load balanced attitude. While in the load balanced attitude, the frame assembly can be raised by any suitable means in relation to the wheel assembly on a surface. Once the frame assembly is at a height great enough to clear the wheels, the wheel assembly can be rotated thus enabling movement parallel to a linier load. Further, when the frame assembly is in the lower position, the two slidable cylinders are locked together to provide use as a conventional hand truck or unlocked and reoriented, thus providing the ability to move a linier load laterally with ample ground clearance. | 10-17-2013 |
20140097584 | ADJUSTABLE LIFT ASSEMBLY FOR HAND TRUCKS - A system is provided for temporarily converting a conventional hand truck to provide an adjustable platform. The system may comprise a shelving unit and a control unit, where the control unit is configured to raise and lower the shelving unit on the frame of the transporting device. The shelving unit may comprise a platform for supporting removable items thereon, and a back plate configured to engage a portion of the transporting device frame, where the back plate comprises a plurality of rollers that minimize lateral movement of the shelving unit when it is being raised or lowered during operation. The control unit may comprise a drive unit and a cable system configured to permit the drive unit to direct movement of the shelving unit, the cable system comprising at least one cable, at least one pulley, and a winch upon which a portion of the cable may be radially wound. | 04-10-2014 |
20140265192 | HAND TROLLEY WITH A LOAD TRAY CO-WORKING WITH WHEEL SETS - A hand trolley with a load tray movably connected with wheel sets includes a handle frame, two wheel sets and a load tray.
