Abstract
A two-wheel hand truck which includes a generally rectangular frame having parallel and spaced apart side members and cross members with a hinged or foldable toe plate which allows it to project forwardly from the plane of the frame or, alternatively, can be folded flush to the frame. The wheels are mounted outboard from the sides of the frame and project rearwardly therefrom to thereby provide increased stability. Handles are adapted to be connected to the upper portion of the frame and they too project rearwardly. The diameter of the wheels and the length of the handles are dimensioned such that when the cart is laid down with the ends of the handles abutting the ground, the plane of the cart is generally horizontal. First and second elongated rollers are journaled for rotation between the aforementioned cross members to thereby facilitate the dispensing of carpeting and the like from a roll.
