Abstract
A hand truck includes a frame having an upper portion and a lower portion, and a cargo support pivotally attached to the lower portion of the frame. A pair of wheels rotatably mounted to the frame, and an unload mechanism having a latched position and an unlatched position is pivotally coupled to the cargo support and the frame. In the unlatched position, pulling the upper portion of the frame rearward causes the unload mechanism to urge the load off of the cargo support.
