A four-wheeled multipurpose handtruck is especially adapted to transport a cylindrical object such as a beer keg. A cradle-like frame nests the beer keg and a metal collar secures the keg to the frame. The handtruck employs a curved frame construction which enhances leverage when loading or unloading a keg. Movable rear wheels allow the handtruck to assume a four-wheeled horizontal transport position or the rear wheels may be collapsed for standard two-wheeled transport.
