Load handling apparatus or hand truck 101 comprises a wheeled support structure 102 having a frame 103, a platform element 104 providing a load platform and a platform element positioning mechanism by means of which the load platform is movable in a raising direction R and in a lowering direction L. The platform element positioning mechanism comprises a lead screw 111 supported by the frame 103, the lead screw 111 having a male buttress thread and at least one half nut 112, 113 supported by the platform element 104, the or each half nut 112, 113 having a female thread co-operable with the male buttress thread of the lead screw 111. The platform element (104) is tiltable relative to the lead screw 111 to selectively disengage and engage the or each half nut 112, 113 from the lead screw 111 to allow the platform element 104 to slide along the lead screw 111. A handle 115 may facilitate the tilting of the platform element 104. The lead screw 111 may be motorised for rotation. A foot operable rear stand 119 may be provided. An elongate guard element 121 forwardly of the lead screw 111 may prevent a load on the load platform from contacting the lead screw 111.
