The present invention relates to a movable cargo support (1) for being received in the cargo hold or passenger cabin of an aircraft comprising a base member (3) wherein its bottom surface (7) comprises one or more support sections (13), which are adapted to support the base member (3) on a floor surface (9), wherein the base member (3) comprises a plurality of wheel assemblies (19), wherein each wheel assembly (19) comprises a wheel member (17) which is rotatable about a rotation axis (47) that is parallel to the support plane (15), the wheel member (17) being movably mounted on the base member (3) such that it may pivot about a steering axis (27) of that wheel assembly (19) and that its position parallel to the steering axis (27) may be altered between an extended position and a retracted position, wherein in the extended position the wheel member (17) protrudes beyond the support plane (15), wherein in the retracted position the wheel member is retracted from the support plane (15) towards the support surface (Ziffer 5), so that it does not extend beyond the support plane (15), wherein each wheel assembly (19) comprises a biasing member (49, 55) biasing the wheel member (17) towards the extended position with a biasing force acting in the direction of the steering axis (27), and wherein the biasing member (49, 55) is configured such that the biasing force exceeds that force by X % at most which acts on the wheel member (47) and forces it towards the retracted position when the wheel members (47) are placed on a floor surface (9) and one or more cargo elements are placed on the support surface (5) having the maximum allowable weight of the one or more cargo elements for the cargo support (1).
