The present invention relates to an emergency vehicle cot that includes an incline support system and a movement system. The incline support system is a retractable system disposed on the bottom of the cot to support one end the cot on an inclined and/or irregular surface during transportation. For example, one embodiment of an incline support system includes two members that are configured to extend from the inclined end of the cot at a particular angle. The extended members support the cot a particular distance over the inclined surface thereby minimizing the need for an emergency worker to manually support the inclined end of the cot. The movement system is coupled to the incline support system and utilizes rotational movement to allow the supported inclined end of the cot to move over the inclined surface. For example, one embodiment of a movement system includes a rotatable track with a motor system and a brake system. The incline support system and the movement system are configured to be retractable or concealable within the cot to facilitate using the cot as a traditional emergency vehicle cot.
