Abstract: A stretcher holder device, for use in vehicles such as ambulances or in the open or in buildings, has a frame with uprights and longitudinal cross-pieces which support individual stretchers.

The stretcher holder frame can support a plurality of stretchers in stacked condition, with each stretcher spaced vertically from the next in the stack.
