A hand trolley 101 for moving bulk loads has a base portion 102, a first ground engaging member rotatably coupled to said base portion, and a brake assembly (603, Fig. 6a). The brake assembly selectively operable to inhibit rotation of the ground engaging members 122, 123. Operation of a handle member 122, 123 releases the brake mechanism (603) on a respective ground engaging member 114, 115, and release of the handle 122, 123 allows the brake arrangement 603 to re-engage, thus providing a "dead man's handle" arrangement. The handles 116, 117 extend vertically upwardly from the base portion 102 in use, but moved to a collapsed position. In this position, the brake cable 502 also operates to disengage the brake arrangement (603) from the respective ground engaging member 114,115. In another embodiment of the invention there is a second brake assembly selectively operable to inhibit rotation of the ground engaging members 122, 123.
