The flat bed trolley, supported on four high load castors has a drawbar fitting with a support flange bracket (11) under the front middle of the load platform. A sleeve (13) with a forked outer end may be secured into the flange bracket with a securing pin (12) with clamping spring. A coupling element (16) joins the forked end to another forked sleeve (17) with the hinge axes of the two forks orthogonal to provide the universal joint effect. The forked ends of the universal joint can be fitted with pins (14) held in place by circlips (15) at the ends. The flat bed platform can be fitted with grooved ducts for fork lift handling. The castors have securing brakes.
