Abstract

An apparatus for transferring a patient or other body comprises a housing, a deck at least partially disposed within the housing, and a continuous belt disposed about the deck. The housing is formed with first and second sides coupled to first and second ends, and a panel attached to the sides and ends to provide structural rigidity to the apparatus. The deck is coupled to the housing, and the continuous belt circulates around the deck to transfer a body from a first surface at a first side of the housing to a second surface at a second side of the housing.
