摘要:
A powered ambulance cot (10) and methods of raising and lowering the cot aswell asloading and unloading the cot are disclosed. The cot includes a support frame(12) and legs(20, 40), each leg having a wheel (26, 46). An actuator (16) of an actuationsysteminterconnects the frame and legs, and is configured to effect changes inelevation of the framerelative to the wheel of each of the legs. A control system controlsactivation of the actuationsystem, and detects both the actuator at a first location relative to theframe, where the firstlocation is remote from a second location and which situates an end of theactuator that isremote from each wheel closer to the frame, and a presence of a signalrequesting a changein elevation of said support frame to thereby cause the legs to move relativeto the supportframe.
