ABSTRACT:
An improved handtruck having an unloader mechanism for assisting in the removal of cargo from the handtruck. The unloader mechanism utilizes a cargo support pivotally mounted at the lower end of the handtruck. The cargo support is designed so that it can be maintained in a latched position when transporting cargo and can be unlatched to pivot away from the handtruck when unloading cargo. A pusher structure may be operatively connected to said cargo support to facilitate the removal of cargo from said cargo support. The pivot action of the cargo support causes a force to be exerted on the cargo by the pusher structure which urges such cargo down an inclined plane formed by the cargo support, thereby removing the cargo from the handtruck.
