Abstract: A handtruck having a collapsible supporting surface adaptable for converting the handtruck into a portable work table. The handtruck is provided with a toe blade extender pivotal between folded and operative positions adjacent to the standard toe blade of the handtruck. The toe blade extender has dual functions. First, in its operative position parallel to and in abutment with the toe blade, it enables the handtruck to handle bulky loads. Second, in an intermediate position between its folded and operative positions, it serves as a support for a planar supporting surface which is pivotally attached to the handtruck frame at the opposite end thereof from the toe blade extender and serves as a work table when pivoted away from the handtruck frame and supported by the toe blade extender.
