A device to facilitate transporting an injured person or cargo over rough
terrain having an elongated rigid load bed riding on adjustable
air-sprung suspension over a wheel assembly having a narrow track. The
device includes handles extending from each end which can be used to
control the device during movement or which can by folded down to provide
vertical supports to maintain a stable stationary unattended position.
The air suspension is utilized to actively raise and lower the device to
facilitate changing between movable and stationary configurations. Brakes
are provided on the wheels for control while descending, independent of
the security of the footing of the operator(s). The device also provides
for being towed utilizing a universal-joint connector to a towed vehicle
which allows flexibility of the connection but prevents torsional
movement and maintains side-to-side stability of the towed device.
