    Is a hand truck a very small truck?

    Edit: TIL, thank you for the replies.

    I’m Mexican, and for some reason we call that “diablito”. Our more civilized Spanish speakers call it “carretilla de carga”.

        Only the uninformed call that a “dolly”. That is a “hand-truck”. A hand truck features a vertical, L-shaped design with an upright handle, two wheels, and a small bottom ledge whereas a dolly has a raised, flat platform that typically has four wheels.

        Thanks for cuming to my Ted talk

          Clearly it’s a ‘sack-truck’ but then UK and US are nations divided by a common language.

      It is a chest-high L-shaped metal tool with wheels at the corner so you can rest a heavy object on the bottom part and then lean the tool backwards to lift the load and wheel it around.
