A draw bar 5 is secured to a wheel axle 6 of the wheel assembly and has a lever 7 projecting from the inner end of the draw bar at an obtuse angle. The front support comprises a triangular structure 9, one apex 10 of which is hinged to the bottom of the deck 1 near the centre thereof, and a second apex 8 of which is hinged to the lever 7 of the wheel assembly.
