Hand truck loading accessories

A kit for a wheeled hand truck in combination with accessories for increasing the lifting load, the kit comprising:

• a frame structure having a primary handle integrally attached to a topmost portion;
• an extension handle assembly removably attached to the primary handle and adapted to extend the length of the primary handle;
• a load plate frontally attached to the lower most portion of the frame structure;
• the frame structure supported by a wheel means connected to an axle for facilitating movement;
• a pair of vertical rods extending from the topmost portion to the lower most portion with a plurality of cross bars disposed therebetween;
• an extra rod attached directly in front of the axle in a parallel arrangement and securely coupled thereto;
• a foot pedal assembly having a shaft member with a foot support attached at a topmost portion of the shaft member;
• a top assembly connector member being attached to an opposing lower most portion of the shaft member;
• while in operational use the top assembly connector member having an integral upper coupling mechanism which removably engages in an obtuse angular configuration with the extra rod, wherein the shaft member is removably engaged therewith, and protrudes outwardly therefrom wherein a greater amount of leverage is provided to an operator;
• a bottom assembly connector member situated at an underside portion of a distal end of the shaft member a predetermined distance above the top assembly connector member, the bottom assembly connector member having a bottom coupling mechanism that provides a means for removably connecting the shaft member to the axle;
• the bottom coupling mechanism being located near the distal end wherein the shaft member is secured between the axle and the extra rod.
