If a Hireling can carry an Item or more, it is stated on the card. It will very likely state what kind of Item and how many, as well. For example, the Gnome Hireling can carry and use ONE Item that is usable by a gnome. This does not mean an Item only usable by a gnome, but any Item usable by a gnome. The only Items a Gnome Hireling can not use are Items that say "Not usable by Gnome." It could be Armor, Headgear, Footgear, require a Hand or two, or not have any "slot" requirements at all, but that Hireling is carrying and using it, so it does not count against your "slots." A Hireling can not have a Steed because you can have, normally, only one in play, and the Hireling rules do not address this so they do not provide an allowance for you to assume your Hireling could use a Steed.
Another example: The Hireling from Munchkin and Munchkin 3 carries an extra Big Item for you, but can't use it (with one exception being the Siege Engine). In other words, that Hireling does nothing more than allow you to have a second Big Item, but you still have to have the open "slots" available to use it.
And, the final example: The Loud Hairy Alien Sidekick from Star Munchkin has 4 arms, which means it technically uses 4 Hands of Items for you. Yes, this means that the Items can only be Hand Items. The Loud Hairy Alien can not use Armor, Headgear, Footgear or any other Items that do not use Hands.
