Abstract: A hand truck comprising an elevating load platform and a carrying frame used to transport heavy and bulky loads on a back of a user. Automated lowering and rising of the platform is accomplished by a threaded rod that runs vertically along a rear spine of the hand truck frame. The rod is connected to an electric motor operated by a small rechargeable battery carried on board. A shoulder harness is provided directly below a handle assembly enabling the user to place the loaded hand truck on their shoulders. Activation of the raised platform elevates the load to the shoulder area where it can be carried more comfortably and safely.
