Zusammenfassung:There is disclosed a towable trolley (10) having a wheel supported frame (11), a container body (12) mounted on the frame (11), a forward prolongation (15) of the frame including a forwardly and upwardly extending support tube (16) merging into a horizontal handle (17), and a towing hitch (18) for coupling the handle to a towing connection on the frame of a two or three wheeled towing vehicle. Handle (17) is located above the general level of the trolley frame so as to be capable of being attached in the general region of the seat of the towing vehicle, but when uncoupled from the towing hitch the handle enables the trolley to be manually propelled. The hitching device (18) is semi-permanently attached to the towing connection on the towing vehicle, but has a releasable coupling engagement with the handle (17) and also includes a rotary coupling (20) permitting relative rotation between the handle (17) and the hitching device (18). The towable trolley of the invention therefore can be readily coupled and uncoupled from the towing vehicle, can enable the coupled combination of vehicle and trolley readily to negotiate bends, and can be readily uncoupled and then manually propelled via handle (17), which also forms part of the releasable engagement between the trolley and the towing hitch.
