ABSTRACT:
An animal lifting device has an inflatable mattress (1) carried by an inflatable support structure (2). In plan, this structure is a closed loop, for example rectangular, so that the center of the mattress is over an open space and can sag down into it to cradle an animal lying on it. The outer edge portion of the mattress preferably overhangs the inflatable support. This comprises a number of compartments (4) which can be inflated individually in sequence, progressively to raise an animal from ground level to a convenient working height. Restraints (11) can be adjusted to tilt the mattress to a desired attitude. There are also means (12) for holding an animal down on the mattress.
