ABSTRACT:
A transfer device is provided for moving an object from a first location to a second location, in particular a gurney for transporting a hospital patient. The device includes a litter mechanism for carrying the object to be transported thereon and a support structure for supporting the litter mechanism and for transporting the litter mechanism between the first location and the second location. In one embodiment, the litter mechanism is pivotable with respect to the support structure to aid in transferring the object/patient thereto and therefrom. In a second embodiment, the litter mechanism is also moveable laterally and transversely with respect to the support structure. Underneath the support structure are outriggers which are extendable outwardly from the device to stabilize the device and prevent it from tipping over when the litter mechanism is extended transversely with respect to the support structure.
