A bed is provided. The bed may include a lift system which raises and lowers a support deck of the bed. The lift system may include multiple individually actuatable lift systems. The bed may include a powered bed mover system.

Systems and methods for facilitating movement of a patient transport apparatus. The patient transport apparatus has a support structure comprising a patient support surface. A wheel assembly comprises a base wheel having an outer periphery rotatably coupled to the support structure about a base rotational axis. The wheel assembly also comprises a plurality of peripheral wheels disposed about the outer periphery to rotate about a plurality of peripheral rotational axes. The wheel assembly comprises a motion control device configured to selectively control rotation of the peripheral wheels independent of rotation of the base wheel about the base rotational axis.

A rescue device includes a support plate connected to a rescue basket. The support plate includes one or more alignment slots. One or more alignment tabs on a weight transfer member of a frame are inserted into the alignment slots to align the support plate on the frame. An extension member connected to the frame moves a set of handles away from the frame to accommodate the rescue basket. A wheel on the frame is driven by a motor to facilitate the rescue of individuals.

A motorized stretcher system designed for efficient and secure transport of injured individuals across uneven surfaces. The system comprises a litter secured to a suspension frame, which is connected to a central hub housing a motor, tire, brake rotor, and caliper. The litter is contoured to safely hold an injured person, with adjustable ratchet straps and side rails providing additional security. The motor, controlled via a throttle and directional switch, drives the tire to propel the stretcher in multiple directions. A suspension system, incorporating multiple dampers, absorbs vibrations and stabilizes the litter across uneven surfaces. Powered by a battery assembly, the motor provides sufficient torque to traverse challenging environments while ensuring smooth and controlled transport.

A motorized stretcher system designed for efficient and secure transport of injured individuals across uneven surfaces. The system includes a litter secured to a suspension frame connected to a central hub that houses a drive motor, tire, brake rotor, and caliper. The hub further includes a strain-wave gear assembly providing high-ratio torque reduction, increased torque density, and reduced mechanical backlash for smooth propulsion across variable terrain. A regenerative braking system integrated within the hub applies reverse torque through the drive motor to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy, which is stored in a battery assembly under control of a bidirectional motor controller. The system provides dual-mode braking, combining mechanical and regenerative operation for controlled deceleration and extended operational range. A suspension frame with multiple dampers absorbs vibrations and stabilizes the litter to ensure safe and steady patient transport.
