a base frame;
a patient support assembly connected to the base frame, the patient support assembly having a separate moveable head section and foot section, wherein the head section is adjacent a head of the bed, the foot section is adjacent a foot end of the bed;
the patient support assembly being rotatable to place the patient support assembly in a tilted position with the entire patient support assembly generally in-line in an orientation greater than 30 degrees;
a weighing system;
a caster, the caster is in contact with the floor when the patient is being weighed; and
a locking system that stabilizes the bed prior to the patient support assembly being rotated into the tilted position,
wherein the locking system includes a brake lock function, when the patient support assembly is in the tilted position, the locking system prevents the brake lock function from becoming disengaged until the patient support assembly is rotated back to a generally horizontal position.
