<p>A tiltable bed (10) with a bed support (11) having an upper support portion (12) adjacent the bed for holding the bed (10) spaced above a ground surface, the bed (10) is elongate extending between a foot and a head of the bed. The bed (10) is pivotable relative to the upper support member (12) at a pivot axis (113), between a horizontal position over the bed support (11) and an upright position with the foot of the bed downwards, the pivot axis (113) is lateral to the length of the bed and positioned proximal to the foot of the bed. A ground engageable roller (135) is positioned at the foot of the bed (10), and the bed (10) or the upper support member (12) is slidable relative to, the pivot axis (113) along a slide path extending longitudinally along the bed from a first position with the bed horizontal to a second position with the bed (10) upright. A distance between the foot of the bed and the pivot axis (113) is longer than a height of the pivot axis (113) from the floor when the bed is in the first position.</p> |
