A device for use with a base of a patient support system. The device has a patient supporting member attached to the base and a sheet engaged by a roller so that the sheet may be located under a patient and moved, thereby moving the patient from one location to another. The roller is supported by a bearing member and, in accordance with the subject invention, the bearing member does not need to be removed from the base, but may be pivoted to an engaged position for engaging and supporting the roller and may be pivoted to a stowed position for storage within the base when not in use.
