Load-handling trolleys of a type in which a load-supporting deck is displaceable into an out-of-use position and opposed load-retaining side walls can be pivoted about rear pivot axes to bring them into mutually inclined positions such that a number of such collapsed trolleys can be nested one into another. The trolley has a wheeled base unit to which the side walls are detachably connectable. The base unit comprises a bridge portion (4) and opposed side beams (2, 3) for supporting the load-retaining side walls. Such side beams are connected to the bridge portion by pivot joints (10, 11) so that the side beams can swing into mutually inclined positions together with the side walls.

A load-carrying trolley comprising a load-supporting deck and opposed load-retaining side walls, the said deck being raisable from its horizontal working position and said side walls being relatively pivotable from a mutually parallel relationship into a mutually convergent relationship which permits the trolley to be nested with other like, similarly converted trolleys, with the improvement that the trolley comprises a wheeled base unit which is independent of said side walls; said base unit comprises opposed side beams and an intervening bridge portion to which such side beams are pivotally connected by tubular pivot pins to allow said side beams to be pivoted in the horizontal plane into convergent relationship with each other; each side beam carries a supporting trolley wheel at a position towards the free end of such beam; and each of said side walls has a dependent spigot which is inserted into the socket defined by one of said tubular pivot pins and another depending spigot which is inserted into a socket located at another position along the corresponding side beam, the side walls thereby being detachably connected to the base unit so that they are supported by said side beams and move as a unit therewith in any said pivotal movement thereof.
