Abstract
An elongated object such as a rolled steel section is adapted to be conveyed by means of a trolley supporting it at one end while the other end of the object is supported by a movable platform. The trolley comprises a frame of inverted U-shape to the legs of which are fixed a pair of wheels with a handle being attached to the frame and extending from the plane of the U-shaped frame. A subframe is suspended for rotation from a pivot shaft at the center of the U. The subframe is a square and carries a platform on which the one end of the elongated object rests such that manipulation of the handle facilitates movement and maneuvering of the object.
