The invention relates to apparatus and a method for the movement of goods (96) between a platform (24) of lifting apparatus and one or more floors of a movable goods storage area (2) such as a vehicle trailer. A bridging assembly (82) is located at an edge of the said platform (24) adjacent the opening of the movable goods storage area (2) and the bridging assembly (82) can be moved between a withdrawn storage position (fig. 4a) to an extended in use position (fig. 4c), and an intermediate position (fig. 4b) which is provided to allow operation of a door assembly (34) provided for the said opening to be selectively closed and opened for access to the interior of the good storage area (2), said intermediate position possibly allowing a gap to be provided between the bridging assembly (82) and the opening which is sufficient to allow movement of the door assembly between open and closed positions whilst allowing an operator (84) to reach the door assembly (34) to operate the same whilst standing on the bridge assembly. The bridging assembly (82) comprises first and second moveable portions (88, 90, fig. 4a).
