Abstract
A movable cargo support for an aircraft cargo hold or passenger cabin includes a base. The base has a bottom surface with support(s) to support the base member on a floor surface of the cargo hold or passenger cabin. The base has wheel assemblies, each wheel assembly having at least one wheel rotatable about a rotation axis and movably mounted on the base to pivot about a steering axis of the wheel assembly. The at least one wheel of each wheel assembly is movable between an extended position, in which the at least one wheel protrudes beyond the support plane, and a retracted position, in which the at least one wheel does not extend beyond the support plane. Each wheel assembly has a biasing member for biasing the at least one wheel towards the extended position.
