Abstract: A patient transport apparatus for transporting a patient along stairs. The patient transport apparatus includes a support structure including a rear support assembly and a track assembly extending from the support structure. The track assembly includes a rail extending between a first and second rail ends. The track assembly further includes a roller adjacent to the first rail end, a motor supporting a pulley adjacent to the second rail end, and a belt supported in engagement with the roller and the pulley. The track assembly further includes a lateral brace operatively attached to the rail and defining a brace configured to abut at least a portion of the belt to retain the belt in engagement with the roller for limiting lateral movement of the belt relative to the rail occurring in response to force acting on the belt between stairs and the roller during operation of the motor.

Abstract: A patient transport system includes a patient transport apparatus operable by a user for transporting a patient along stairs and a loading system for loading and unloading the patient transport apparatus from a vehicle cargo area. The loading system includes a brace configured to be mounted to the cargo area of the vehicle, a first arm supported for rotation between a stowed state and a deployed state, a second arm coupled to the first arm, and a receptacle coupled to the second arm. The receptacle is configured to receive and support the patient transport apparatus for movement relative to the cargo area of the vehicle as the first arm moves between the stowed state and the deployed state. The loading system further includes a ratchet assembly interposed between the brace and the first arm to selectively permit motion of the first arm between the stowed state and the deployed state.
