Abstract: A hand truck comprising a main frame which is supported by a plurality of wheels on one end and has a handle on the other end is disclosed. The main frame is provided with platforms which extend the load bearing surface of the main frame. Each of the platforms is provided with side members which extend outwardly from the surface of said platforms. Each of the side members in turn have a toe plate extension which is adapted to engage and attach to a toe plate which extends outwardly from the main frame on the side opposite from where the wheels are supported. The platforms, the side members, the toe plate and the toe plate extensions combine to form a three-sided load carrying compartment for handling bulky freight such as loaf bread and the like. Swivel rollers may be provided on the underside of the toe plate for allowing lateral movement of the hand truck.
