ABSTRACT:
A platform truck (10) for transporting items includes a base member (11) having a top surface (13) to received the items thereon. A handle assembly (12) is pivotally carried by the base member (11) and is thereby positionable in a generally upright position for pushing the base member (11), a generally outward position for pulling the base member (11), and a generally horizontal position generally flush with the top surface (13) of the base member (11). Opposed side wall assemblies (14) extend generally vertically downwardly from the top surface (13) of the base member (11) and have opposed depressions (22) therein. Side wall assemblies also carry a latch assembly (45). When the handle assembly (12) is in the generally horizontal position, latch assembly (45) holds arms (24) of the handle assembly (12) which can be grasped at the location of at least one of the depressions (22) for carrying the platform truck (10). The base member (11) is supported by a plurality of casters (48, 49), the front casters (49) being carried by a caster support system (50) which permits the front casters (49) to be mounted to the base member (11) for either unidirectional movement or fully swivelable movement of the front casters (49).
