Abstract

A load guidance system, usable with a load-carrying device (1) which has a support (3) for a load mounted on moveable members, such as wheels (6, 7). A connecting member (10) extends between a leader and the device (1) and a control arrangement can monitor the connecting member and can act to modify the action of a drive arrangement for a steering mechanism of the device (1) to cause the device to follow the leader.
