the swiveling and rotation of all four casters
at the same time.
All four casters can be locked (swivel and rotation are locked at the same time) or unlocked by
operating only one caster lock pedal.
Caster lock pedals are located at the four corners of the stretcher so they can be operated at the
head end, foot end, and both sides.
Lock the casters at all times except when moving the
stretcher. Otherwise, the stretcher may move when
transferring a patient to a bed, adjusting the height, or
raising the backrest, causing an unexpected injury.

The turning radius of the stretcher is small, thus
offering easy directional control and minimizing the
force needed to push the stretcher. This allows for
quick movement.
The stretcher rotates when cornering, requiring the
person pushing to move around when cornering, and
also requiring force to restrain the stretcher.
2. Center wheel system
