In the field of goods storage, transportation and retail there is a need for a dolly-pallet which permits a user to conveniently move goods from one location to another and is also handlable by an automated conveying system. A dolly-pallet 10 comprises a deck 12 that includes a plurality of rotatable members 14 coupled therewith. The rotatable members 14 include a first swivelable rotatable member 22a which is coupled with the deck 12 for swivelling movement about an orientation axis OA. The first swivelable rotatable member 22a has a first support member 36a located adjacent thereto. The first support member 36a is moveable along a first path (pi) that lies parallel to the orientation axis OA. Movement of the first support member 36a along the said first path (pi) activates a lock to lock the first swivelable rotatable member 22a in a desired orientation about its orientation axis OA. A method of configuring a dolly-pallet 10 for use, the dolly-pallet 10 comprising a deck 12 including a plurality of rotatable members 14 coupled therewith, the rotatable members 14 including a first swivelable rotatable member 22a coupled with the deck 12 for swivelling movement about an orientation axis OA, the first swivelable rotatable member 22a having a first support member 36a located adjacent thereto, the first support member 36a being moveable along a first path (pi) lying parallel to the orientation axis OA, comprises the steps of orientating the first swivelable rotatable member 22a relative to the deck 12 about its orientation axis OA as desired; and moving the first support member 36a along the said first path (pi) to activate a lock to lock the first swivelable rotatable member 22a in the desired orientation about its orientation axis OA.
