Abstract

A device for transport and medical care of patients consists of a chassis (1) with wheels (11) arranged in corners of a virtual parallelogram with a central longitudinal axis of symmetry (X-X). The device further comprises a bed (2) consisting of a support frame (20) and being supported on said chassis (1) by means of a pair of telescopic support poles (3, 4) mutually spaced apart in direction of said axis (X-X) and displaceable in vertical direction. Said telescopic support poles (3, 4) are each arranged at its side of said axis (X-X), namely each in its diagonally opposite corner (111, 112) of said virtual parallelogram formed by the wheels (11) of the chassis (1). The support frame (20) of said bed (2) is formed without any transversal or longitudinal reinforcing element, with the exception of areas (21, 22) that are reasonably present above the support poles (3, 4) and are diagonally opposite to said axis (X-X).
