A trolley (10) for medical equipment comprises a base (16) mounted on a plurality of wheels (20). A brake device (12) comprising at least one deformable brake pad (22) is located beneath the trolley base (16). A release mechanism (26) is provided to move the brake pad (22) between a raised position in which it is spaced above a floor surface on which the trolley wheels rest, and a lowered position in which the brake pad (22) is pressed against the floor surface under the weight of the brake device (12) to exert a braking force on the trolley (10).
