A roll-in cot for patient transport comprising a patient transporter, the patient transporter comprising: a support frame configured to support a stretcher on a top side of the support frame and comprising a sliding track mounted to an underside of the support frame; a pair of collapsible leading legs pivotally mounted on the underside of the support frame; and a pair of collapsible and retractable trailing legs pivotally mounted to the underside of the support frame and also moveably coupled to the sliding track, wherein: the trailing legs are substantially perpendicular relative to the support frame when uncollapsed; the trailing legs being configured to swivel from a raised position to a collapsed, unretracted position and in the collapsed, unretracted position the longitudinal axis of each trailing leg is approximately parallel with the longitudinal axis of the support frame; the pair of trailing legs extending a first horizontal distance past a trailing end of the support frame, the pair of trailing legs being further configured to slide inwardly from a collapsed, unretracted position to a collapsed, retracted position by moving horizontally along the sliding track; the pair of collapsible and trailing legs extending a second horizontal distance past a trailing end of the support frame, wherein the second horizontal distance is less than the first horizontal distance; and the leading legs, the trailing legs, or both comprise telescoping legs configured to raise or lower the cot height to multiple heights.
