ABSTRACT:
A kit capable of converting a hand truck to one which is brakeable. A set of brake shoes are provided within appropriately sized wheels which are actuatable by a cable connected to each cam follower. At the mid-point of the cable is located a lever releasably attached to the hand truck frame. By this arrangement, equal pressure is applied to each brake shoe simultaneously to avoid the hand truck pulling in one direction when the brakes are applied.
