A lifting and carrying trolley or cart comprises a pair of inflatable air fingers 1, 2; two parallel tines or prongs 5, 6; two parallel vertical support members [fig. 3; 8, 9]; a handlebar 7 to act as guidance and steering, and a plurality of cross members [fig. 3; 10, 13, 14]. The air fingers may be inflated using a pneumatic cylinder 11 operated by a pedal [fig. 3, 19]. The trolley is specifically designed to enable removal or insertion of a domestic appliance (such as a washing machine) with little clearance between the floor and base of the appliance. In use, the air fingers are inserted beneath the appliance and inflated which increases the gap between the floor and the appliance. The tines are inserted into the gap, and the air fingers are deflated so that the appliance is supported by the tines. The appliance can then be moved without being dragged along the floor.
