Tire truck

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a means for facilitating the manipulation of wheel-mounted tires during installation and removal on vehicles.
It is another object of this invention to provide an apparatus adapted to assist lifting heavy tires into a standing position.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide a means for readily translating a heavy truck tire directly toward and away from the axle hub without requiring repetitive back and forth manipulation beneath the fender.
The foregoing and other objects of this invention are achieved by providing a wheeled tire hand truck for installing, removing and transporting rim-mounted tires for vehicles.
The truck comprises an elongated body section and extended fork section supported by a transverse axle having wheels at either end bracketing the body.
The body includes a handle section extending opposite the fork section to terminate in a grip, and the fork section extends opposite the handle for straddling the tire on either side of its center of gravity and beneath its tread.
The tire rests against the handle portion and separate tire rests over each wheel, and the tire may be transported by balancing the weight of the tire on the wheels while pushing on the grip.
