Claims17
A hand truck comprising:
- a frame;
- a platform extending from a front side of the frame;
- and
- at least two feet attached to an underside of the platform and forward of the front side of the frame, wherein a first foot of the at least two feet comprises a first height, and wherein a second foot of the at least two feet comprises a second height that is less than the first height,
- wherein the hand truck comprises a standing configuration and a mobile configuration,
- wherein, in the standing configuration, the first foot and the second foot contact a ground surface to support the hand truck such that the platform is arranged at an oblique angle with respect to the ground surface.
A hand truck comprising:
- a frame comprising a front side and a back side;
- a platform extending from the front side of the frame;
- and
- at least one foot attached to an underside of the platform,
- wherein the hand truck comprises a standing configuration and a mobile configuration and is pivotable about a pivot axis between the standing configuration and the mobile configuration,
- wherein the pivot axis is offset backwards relative to the back side of the frame and away from the front side of the frame,
- wherein, in the standing configuration, the at least one foot contacts a ground surface to support the hand truck such that the platform is arranged at an oblique angle with respect to the ground surface and the hand truck is self-supporting without human intervention,
- wherein the at least one foot comprises a plurality of feet,
- wherein the plurality of feet comprises a first foot and a second foot,
- wherein the first foot comprises a first height, and
- wherein the second foot comprises a second height that is less than the first height.
A hand truck comprising:
- a frame;
