This means that even when the chassis 18 is rotated relative to the horizontal alignment of the receiving device or the receiving carriage 30, the guide struts 106 can still be moved into the space defined by the guide edges 108. For example, then in the situation according to Fig. 18 the chassis 18 is retracted, the chassis 18 is positioned with respect to its upper frame 100 and the stretcher 16 is automatically centered on the receiving carriage 30 or on its boom 82 (see Fig. 19 ).
