The platform P comprises a floor F with four corner column members C, a pair of short side walls 1, 2 and a pair of long side walls 3, 4. The column members are hinged to the base of the platform and the walls and doors collapse so they overlie the base in a substantially flat configuration (Fig. 6). Each short side wall is preferably in the form of a pair of doors 1A, 1 B hinged to the column members. Each long side wall is preferably formed with three sections 3A, 3B, 3C, the outer sections 3A, 3B being hinged to the column members, the middle section 3C being hinged to one of the other sections. The platform is provided with rollers on the base and lifting hooks 5 on the top of each column member.
