Abstract
A convertible hand truck including a pivotable handle member which may be stowed or selectively used as an extension of the toe plate when the hand truck is in an upright two-wheeled position, and may serve as the push handle for the hand truck when used in an horizontal four-wheeled position. The pivoting handle member is releasably coupled to the toe plate of the hand truck when in the horizontal position by a bracket which wraps partially around and slides along the handle member and extends between the two opposing upright handle segments. The bracket remains flush with the frame when in the stowed position, and has an offset tang which engages the top edge of the toe plate when the handle member is in the upright and secured position.
