HAND TRUCK WING ASSEMBLY
The hand truck wings bolt to the hand truck frame using the provided fasteners. The LH/RH wings interlock
with the frame (see Figure 2) for maximum strength.
For retrofitting wings to an existing hand truck see directions at bottom of page first.
1. Align the wing red stripe insert in the upper holes with the mating holes in the wing.
a. Locate the bottom mounting hole approximately 5 inches from the end. Use light blows with a
hammer to pierce (1) 1/4"-20 screw (D) through the red stripe.
b. Locate the middle mounting hole approximately 1 inch above the cutout area in the wing. Use light
blows with a hammer to pierce (1) 1/4"-20 screw (C) through the red stripe.
2. Assemble wings to each side (see Figure 1).
a. Align the RH wing with the right side of the hand truck frame.
b. Insert (2) 1/4"-20 pan head screws (F) through the upper 2 holes in the wing, hand truck frame and
handle. Finger tighten with 1/4" lock nuts (E). Note: There may be excess hardware included in kit.
Please parts list chart to determine correct screws for your handle choice.
c. Insert (1) 1/4"-20 x 3/4" long pan head screw (C) through the middle wing mounting hole and
hand truck frame. Finger tighten with 1/4" locknut (E).

2. Using a 5/16" drill bit and electric drill (and the existing holes in the wing as a guide) drill holes through
the truck frame channel.
