The mounting is secured to a support surface and is adapted to allow multi-positioning of various components of the pulling system in order to move the patient in needed direction. The pulling system includes a drive which is adjustably positioned with respect to the bed so as not to interfere with patient service and in order to perform comfortable manual operation.
