Wheeled device with different operational modes

A wheeled device for carrying or transporting a load, said device being convertible between a first mode of use in which a steering member is in a first orientation and a second mode of use in which the steering member is in a second orientation, said device including:

• a chassis member;
• and
• a steerable wheel assembly having a pair of ground contacting wheels capable of pivoting about the chassis member located at or towards one end of the chassis member for altering the direction of travel of the device wherein,
• said steering member is connected to the steerable wheel assembly so that movement of the steering member causes corresponding movement of the steerable wheel assembly to alter the direction of travel of the device in use of the device,
• said steering member is configured to move between first and second operating positions such that the first orientation of the steering member corresponds to the first operating position and the second orientation of the steering member corresponds to the second operating position so that when the steering member is in the first operating position the device is in the first mode of use and when the steering member is in the second operating position the device is in the second mode of use, and
• said steering member is provided with a load supporting member for supporting the load in use such that the load when being supported by the load supporting member moves in accordance with movement of the steering member when in the first and second operating positions, and the steering member is associated with a lock or detent for locking the steerable wheel assembly in a straight ahead position or for locking the steering member in either the first or second orientations.
