A patient support apparatus includes a lower frame, an upper frame, and a power indicator transport light coupled to one of the lower frame and the upper frame. The power indicator transport light is configured to provide notice to surrounding areas that the patient support apparatus is in close proximity during transportation of the patient support apparatus so that collisions with the patient support apparatus are minimized.

A patient transport apparatus is provided for use with a retainer of a transport vehicle. The patient transport apparatus comprises a support structure comprising a patient support surface to support a patient. An engagement member is coupled to the support structure and arranged to engage the retainer when unloading the patient transport apparatus from the transport vehicle. A dampener is operable in a standby state or a resistance state such that the dampener provides increased resistance to movement of the patient transport apparatus in the resistance state as compared to the standby state. The resistance state of the dampener is activated by manually moving the patient transport apparatus in a first direction and the standby state is activated by manually moving the patient transport apparatus in a second direction, opposite the first direction.

A patient transport apparatus comprises a support structure and at least one caster assembly coupled to the structure to facilitate movement of the structure along a floor. Each caster assembly comprises a wheel, an actuator moveable between three actuator positions, a steer lock assembly moveable by the actuator between a steer and non-steer locked state, and a brake assembly movable by the actuator between a braked and unbraked state. The brake assembly includes a plunger, a retainer coupled to the plunger, a brake pad for sliding movement along the retainer, and a brake biasing element disposed between the plunger and the brake pad to urge the brake pad away from the plunger such that movement of the actuator to place the brake assembly in the braked state simultaneously brings the brake pad into engagement with the wheel and slides the brake pad along the retainer to compress the biasing element.

A patient support apparatus includes a frame, a plurality of wheels, and a status indicator light assembly coupled to at least one of the plurality of wheels. The status indicator light assembly is configured to provide notice to surrounding areas regarding a status of a plurality of casters included in the plurality of wheels.

A trailer-moving platform device is provided. The device is designed to facilitate effortless and safe maneuvering of trailers by securing the trailer jack wheel while minimizing physical strain and potential damage. The device comprises a durable body constructed from heavy-duty materials with corrosion-resistant coatings, equipped with an ergonomically designed handle that is foldable or telescopic for convenience and storage. The device features industrial-grade swivel caster wheels for omnidirectional movement, wherein each wheel is integrated with a foot-actuated locking mechanism. The top surface of the body incorporates an adjustable fastening mechanism to securely accommodate various types of trailer jack wheels, complemented by a shock-absorbing padding layer to protect the wheel and reduce wear. During operation, the user secures the jack wheel to the body via the fastener, maneuvers the device via the handle, and locks the wheels in place once the trailer is properly positioned, ensuring safety and ease of use.
