Make table from handtruck?
 

Maybe someone here will know this....

Is it possible to make a lightweight stand up table out
of an aluminum hand truck?

Like the aluminum folding hand trucks you might buy at
Costco or something?

All I need is a surface or deck on it at say stand up
or desk height...either one. Preferably adjustable to
ANY height.

Big enough to set a laptop on?

I'm trying to invent a very lightweight portable table
that could also be used as a hand truck too.

Sure, but if I tell you how, you will steal my invention won't you?

Cats already out of the bag guys. Once posted its public domain and you
can't patent.

Sounds like you want to make a light duty Ambulance Gurney. Some tool
benches have these qualities as well. I'd say there's probably some Niches
left in the market to sell these.

Good point.

And if the OP works at it long enough, he won't need us.

No one's given even a taste of a design. Ideas are not patentable to
begin with. Implementations are. (maybe with some exceptions like
software, but I don't think in the case of tangible stuff.)

It's been done. It's called a rolling cart.
