ABSTRACT:
A carrier for an object having castors at each corner and a steering system comprised of a fixed pair of spaced steering wheels deployable to contact the surface proximate the midpoint of the carrier. The pair of steering wheels are separated by a distance that improves tracking of the carrier and allows the carrier to more easily be turned around corners. A linkage is connected between a foot pedal and the pair of steering wheels; and the pair of steering wheels is moved into surface contact simultaneously with said castors contacting the surface by pressing the foot pedal.
