Abstract: A wheeled hand truck of the type having an elongated frame with a load engaging platform and a set of wheels near one end and user handles near the other end includes a stairstep engaging leg which is pivotally mounted on the frame intermediate the ends and selectively movable between a stowed position and an extended position where the leg will selectively engage a step and prevent sliding movement of the truck down a flight of steps. An auxiliary handle is also provided to aid movement of loads along staircases with that auxiliary handle being selectively movable between a retracted position where the truck may be used in a conventional manner and an operative position extending obliquely from the frame from the end opposite the platform to provide a user with a more readily accessible gripping region when moving the truck along a flight of steps.
