Abstract: An improved wheeled hand cart assembly has a tiltable lifting platform associated with a trailing platform so that separate loads may be transported on each platform. The lifting cart structure comprises a generally conventional L-shaped configuration having a pair of wheels mounted on a common axis, for rolling the lifting cart about. The lifting cart is tiltable about the wheel axis to retain and transport a load. The trailing cart comprises a support platform having a forward end coupled to the lifting cart for pivoting about an axis parallel to the common axis of the wheels, a rearward end portion supported on a caster-like wheel assembly for rolling from place to place in coordination with the spaced-apart wheels and a locking assembly for locking the lifting cart in a tilted position relative to the trailing cart.

Abstract: A improved wheeled hand cart assembly incorporates a tiltable lifting platform associated with a trailing platform that together permit transporting interchangeable loads on the lifting platform together with other, relatively heavy, fixed loads on the trailing platform. The cart assembly incorporates a lifting cart structure of generally L-shaped configuration wherein the short leg of said L-shape acts as a lifting platform and the longer leg of the L-shape serves generally as the handle portion of the cart in conventional manner. A pair of axially spaced-apart wheels are rotatably mounted on a substantially common axis on the lifting cart, close to the juncture of the longer leg and the short leg, so that the lifting cart may be rolled from place to place on the floor or ground. The lifting cart structure is tiltable about the common axis of the two wheels to retain a load within the angle formed by the juncture of the longer leg and the short leg.
