<p>A fitting is provided which facilitates the loading of a stretcher (16) onto a platform (33), such as the bay of an ambulance. The fitting includes a pivotable mounting (25) having a trailing larger diameter wheel (22) and a leading smaller diameter wheel (21). Pivoting is such that the leading wheel is adapted to ride up onto the platform and then pivot downwardly allowing the trailing wheel to ride up over the rear edge (32) of the platform as the stretcher is pushed into the ambulance. A skid block (34, 35) is preferably formed integrally with the mounting. <IMAGE></p> |
