A transportable load carrying platform (10) comprising a base (11) to support a load during transportation. One or a plurality of support frames (12) are positioned towards one or two ends of base (11) and are configured to pivot between three positions. In a first position, the end frames (12) extends upwardly from the base (11), in a second position the end frames (12) extend outwardly and downwardly from the base (11) and in a third position the end frames (12) are substantially flat and parallel to the base (11) to reduce the overall height of the platform. Pivot means (202, 203) allow the support frames (12) to pivot relative to the base (11) between the various positions. Suitable load transfer means are provided to effectively transfer any applied loading forces from the support frames (12) to the base (11).
