This invention is a collapsible, detachable shelf for two-wheeled hand trucks, as well as other hand-propelled utility vehicles, designed to provide users with a table-like work surface and storage compartment. The shelf adapts universally to all existing models and brands of hand trucks and convertible carts, by use of clamps using hanging rods or like methods. Further original hand truck and shelf designs may accommodate new shelves, thus excluding clamp usage. The work surface benefits occupations, including but not limited to stock clerks and delivery persons, providing portable workspace suitable for writing and holding paper and office supplies. An alternate shelf has a storage compartment which holds job-appropriate items such as scanning devices, hand-held computers, pricing guns, and printers. The shelf, in its collapsed position, lies recessed within or behind the vehicle, providing no interference with normal freight.
