There is provided a mobile support (50) that is rotatively mounted to the lower portion of each vertical column (20). Each mobile support is elongated and rotatable from a first position where the elongated mobile support extends generally perpendicular to the horizontal bar (12) to a second position where the mobile supports extend generally parallel to the horizontal bar (12). In the second position, the patient lifting and transport device (100) is relatively narrow and can be moved through close quarters and also stored in relatively small areas.1/6 10 7060 12 62 64 20 66 -20 56 52 56 50 52 30 50 22 32 32 30 40\ 22 34 34 40 FIG.
