ABSTRACT:
A hand truck holder apparatus (40) for releasably securing a hand truck (20) to a vehicle bumper (32) includes a bracket member (48) having a mounting plate (50) and a pair of flanges (52, 54) positioned on opposed sides of the mounting plate (50). Mounting means are coupled to the bracket member (48) for mounting the same to the vehicle and a support member (44) transversely mounted to the pair of flanges (52, 54) supports the hand truck (20) thereon. Moreover, a substantially resilient securing strap (46) is mounted to and transversely spans the bracket member (48), thereby securing the hand truck (20) to the bracket member (48). In another aspect, the mounting means include a plurality of sets of apertures (80) extending therethrough for releasably mounting the bracket member (48) to a plurality of vertical mounting positions relative to the bumper (32). A method of mounting the hand truck holder (40) to the bumper (32) by aligning at least one set of mounting apertures (80) with the at least one set of existing license plate apertures (82) is also described.
