A patient transfer trolley for transferring patients from one location to another in hospitals and like establishments. The trolley comprises a wheeled frame (11) carrying a patient support surface (13) and a device (15) for aiding transfer of a patient between said patient support surface (13) and a further support surface such as a hospital bed or operating table. The handling device (15) comprises a body (41) having a transfer surface (43. The body is movable whereby it can assume first and second positions, and preferably also a third position. In the first position the transfer surface provides a bridge between said patient support surface and said further support surface. In the second position the body extends upwardly of the patient support surface to provide a safety barrier therfor. In the third position the body is stored so as not to obstruct access to the patient support surface (13).
