A frame (1) for transporting a stretcher comprising at least one movement module (2) equipped with wheels (3) and configured for moving on a surface; a supporting platform (8) configured for receiving in coupling a table of a stretcher (B); supporting means (5) interposed between the movement module (2) and the supporting platform (8). These supporting means (5) comprise motor-driven articulated means configured for adjusting the height of the stretcher with respect to the surface. A control module is operatively connected to detection means configured for detecting the height of a loading portion (P) of the supporting platform (8) with respect to an external supporting surface. This control module is operatively connected to the supporting means (5) to automatically actuate them in such a way as to position the loading portion (P) of the supporting platform (8) at a predetermined height with respect to the external supporting surface in such a way that the loading portion (P) is parallel to the external supporting surface and rests on the external supporting surface in a first step of loading the stretcher (B) on the external supporting surface.
