A movable cargo support for an aircraft cargo hold or passenger cabin includes a base member with its bottom surface having one or more support sections to support the base member on a floor surface. The base member includes wheel assemblies having a wheel member rotatable about a rotation axis and movably mounted on the base member to pivot about a steering axis of the wheel assembly and which can be altered between an extended position where the wheel member protrudes beyond the support plane and a retracted position where the wheel member does not extend beyond the support plane. Each wheel assembly has a biasing member biasing the wheel member towards the extended position and configured so the biasing force exceeds the force by X % at most which forces the wheel member towards the retracted position when the wheel members are on a floor surface and one or more cargo elements are on the support surface having the maximum allowable weight of the one or more cargo elements for the cargo support.
