Gurneys are stretchers with wheels.

And they can fold up.

Thanks, British elementary school, for teaching me all the wrong words to use to try and blend into my country of citizenship.

(I still am going to refer to the things as stretchers - gurney sounds pretty medieval - and yes, if pressed, I probably would have arrived at 'trolley' well before 'gurney'.)
