Abstract: A leverage cart assembly is used to lift and move a load. The leverage cart assembly has a load plate that is coupled to a support framework. The load to be lifted is placed on the lift plate and is strapped to the support framework. A hand truck assemblage is provided that is used to raise and lower the load plate, the support framework, and the attached load. The hand truck assemblage includes a cart framework that is supported on wheels. At least one lift plate extends from the cart framework and engages the load plate with a hinged connection. As the hand truck assemblage is tilted, the lift arm inclines. This elevates the load plate and the load. However, due to the hinge connection, the orientation of the load plate relative the load remains constant as the load plate and load are lifted.
