Author 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.

So you want people to tell you how to make something so YOU can invent
it? I'm severely missing something.

something that advanced takes a degree in physics and you need
to know the modus of elasticity of the hand truck. we had a
previous poster capable in that range but somehow his posts no
longer appear on my screen......... (gggg)

Invent implies patent/copyright. Patent/copyright implies market. That's
how I got the wrong idea. Sorry.

....but if you do end up doing it, that's the kind of shit they sell on
home shopping channels. Those are the sales people. It would go well I
bet.
