ABSTRACT:
A wheeled truck including a platform defining a planar support surface having first and second opposite ends, two wheels attached to the platform at the first end thereof and two wheels attached to the platform at the second end thereof utilizes hinges for hingedly securing the two wheels located at the second end to the platform and a lever member for raising and lowering the second support surface end to thereby facilitate the loading and unloading of the truck. The hingedly-secured wheels are each pivotally movable relative to the platform between an operative condition at which the hingedly-secured wheels operatively support the second support surface end in an elevated condition for transporting purposes and a non-operative condition at which the hingedly-secured wheels are positioned so as to permit the second support surface end to be raised and lowered between the elevated condition and a lowered condition at which the support surface forms a ramp. The lever member is pivotally attached to the platform for manually raising and lowering the second support surface end between the elevated condition and the lowered condition.
