The Chebyshev wavelets are used as a basis to expand a part of the integrand, $rf(r)$, appearing in the Hankel transform integral. This transforms the Hankel transform integral into a Fourier-Bessel series. By truncating the series, an efficient and stable algorithm is obtained for the numerical evaluations of the Hankel transforms of order $\nu > -1$. The method is quite accurate and stable, as illustrated by given numerical examples with varying degree of random noise terms $\varepsilon \theta_i$ added to the data function $f(r)$, where $\theta_i$ is a uniform random variable with values in $[-1,1]$. Finally, an application of the proposed method is given for solving the heat equation in an infinite cylinder with a radiation condition.
