A mobile, self powered and power steered gurney is provided including an elevatable and laterally tiltable support structure from which patient support structure is supported for adjusted shifting laterally of the gurney between a first position superposed over the support structure and an extended position projecting outwardly of one side margin of the support structure. The patient support structure incorporates a conveyor structure which is operative to convey a patient laterally of the support structure responsive to shifting of the patient support structure further operative to shift a patient laterally of the patient support structure relative thereto in a direction opposite to the direction in which the patient support structure is being shifted relative to the support structure and at a speed substantially equal to the speed of shifting of the patient support structure relative to the support structure.
