A pedestrian truck steerable with a tiller 56 has a controllable front wheel 64 and a castor front wheel 58 on opposite sides of a centre line, and a steerable rear wheel 52 along the centre line. Controllable front wheel 64 is selectively alignable parallel to the truck centre line for forwards or reverse travel, and perpendicular to the centre line for sideways travel. A steering controller can selectively steer rear wheel 52 either in the same or the opposite sense to the rotation of tiller 56, and can automatically provide inverted steering during sideways travel and when either tiller 56 is on the same side of the centre line as controllable front wheel 64 and tiller 56 leads the truck, or when tiller 56 is on the same side of the centre line as castor front wheel 58 and tiller 56 trails the truck. Wheels 58, 64 may be provided at distal ends of feet 60, and forks 70, which may be insertable into a pallet, may be provided between feet 60.
