EASY TO HANDLE BIG LOADS
Attachment Devised for Trucks Makes
the Work of the Wheeler so
Per Cent Easier.

In order to make it possible for a
workman to manage a heavily loaded
two-wheeled hand truck with less ply
steal exertion than is ordinarily re-
quired an attachment has been devised
which holds the cargo in place, allow
ing the mass to be tilted forward until
it's center of gravity is over the wheel
axle.
When wheeling on level flooring a
man is thus relieved of the weight of
the article he is moving; his concern is
merely to maintain its balance while
propelling the truck.
The device consists of an anchor and
chain attachment, housed in a tube,
which is attached beneath a truck. BY
tipping the latter forward against the
object it is to carry, the chain is drawn
out to the required length, locked by
dropping one of the links into narrow
slot in the neck of the tube and the
hook engaged at any convenient point.
