Abstract
A patient transport apparatus for patients. The patient transport apparatus comprises a base having a base frame and an intermediate frame. The patient support further comprises a litter configured to be docked to and undocked from a trolley that is configured to slidably translate along the intermediate frame between a plurality of positions including a trolley forward position and a trolley docking position. The litter is configured to be supported by the base in a cantilevered position when the trolley is in the trolley docking position. The base includes a stabilizer that is configured for movement between a retracted configuration and a deployed configuration. In the deployed configuration the stabilizer engages a floor surface to brace the base at an additional point of contact with the floor surface to stabilize the base when the litter is in the cantilevered position.
