Abstract
A foot lever assist mechanism permits transport dollies to be more heavily loaded, saving the worker additional trips to deliver the entire supply. The lever assist is preferably secured to the axle using at least one boss. An auxiliary feature of this lever assist is the provision of a telescoping ladder-like extender for supporting beverage kegs. A toe grab allows the workman to tilt the stack of cases off of the hand truck's support platform and pull the bottom of the hand truck from beneath the load. Brakes are also provided to resist the hand truck's tendency to move rearwardly when tilting is attempted.
