Each wheel 12 is mounted for rotation in a fork 13 of a carrier having a spindle 14 journalled in a bracket 15 attached to the frame. The wheels 12 are all parallel and the carriers are joined by bars 18 pivoted to links 16. Four actuating means, one on each side of the pallet, each comprising a pedal arm 20, Fig. 5 (not shown), enables all four wheels 12 to be simultaneously turned through a right angle from any side of the pallet by footpressure.
