The trolley comprising a chassis, a first set of wheels (14) and a steerable wheel assembly (16) disposed on the chassis, a lifting assembly (18) having a coupling means (20) for cooperative engagement with a corresponding coupling means (66 or 68 Figure 3) disposed on the base frame, the coupling means (20) being disposed substantially between the first set of wheels (14), and an actuator (22) for moving the lifting assembly relative to the chassis between a lowered position in which the coupling means of the lifting trolley and the frame element can align and be received and a raised position in which the coupling means of the lifting trolley and the frame element are securely coupled. The base frame (60 Figure 3) comprising a plurality of frame elements (70, 72, 74, Figure 3), a first coupling means (66, Figure 3) disposed on one side of the base frame for cooperative engagement with a coupling means of the lifting trolley when the lifting trolley is in a raised position; and a plurality of adjustable feet. A transportation system (80, Figure 5) comprising two trollies (10a, 10b, Figure 5) and a base frame (60, Figure 5).
