Abstract

A patient lift and transport device (10) includes a wheeled chassis (12) with a powered wheel assembly (26). The powered wheel assembly (26) includes a wheel (28) or plurality of wheels which can be permanently or selectively positioned in contact with the floor to provide motive force which propels the device (10) in a forward or reverse direction. Preferably, the wheel or wheels (28) are fixed to allow only linear translation, as this tends to aid in control of the directionality of the caster wheels (16 and/or 18). An attendant uses a handle bar (42) or other steering mechanism affixed to the mast (32) to direct the movement of the patient lift and transport device (10). A boom (34) connected to the mast (32) is used to raise and lower patients from a reclining or seated position.
