Summary:A powered hand truck comprises a vertically movable platform configured to raise and lower a weight of a full beer keg between a ground surface and a height of a truck loading surface. The powered hand truck may further comprise a motor configured to provide a force that enables the platform to be raised and lowered. A battery may be used to power the motor. In one embodiment, a chain and sprocket system may be used to transfer torque from the motor to a vertical force that enables controlled movement of the platform.
