The load securing device for lift trucks includes various embodiments adapted for installation upon powered hand trucks, forklifts, and pallet jacks. Each embodiment includes an upright for attachment to the lift truck structure, the upright having a tensioner installed at its upper end or elsewhere opposite the forks of the lift truck. A tensioning element (e.g., tiedown strap, etc.) passes through the tensioner, and a chain and hook extends from the distal end of the tensioning element. The hook of the load securing device is hooked to the load carried on the forks of the lift truck, and the tensioner is tightened to pull and hold the load up adjacent the vertical structure of the lift truck at the back of the forks. Two load securing devices can be used with a powered hand truck for securing a small portable building structure for movement.
