A handling apparatus (10) for supporting and deploying an object (12), such as a marine craft, comprises a support frame (18) and a cradle (20) upon which the object (12) to be deployed is disposed. A retaining flap (24) forms a first portion of the cradle (20) and is coupled to a deployment ramp (26) which forms a second portion of the cradle (20), the retaining flap (24) being movable between a first position which retains the object (12) on the cradle (20) and a second position in which the object (12) is released for movement relative to the cradle (20). The handling apparatus (10) is movable from a first, storage, position to a second, deployment, position in which the object (12) can be deployed.
