The invention provides a patient support device with a lifting device (1), wherein the lifting device (1) an upper part (3), a lower part (2) and the upper part (3) with the lower part (2) connecting lifting linkage with at least one Having the middle joint (10) having scissor-shaped part linkage (9), wherein the pivot point (20) of the central joint (10) is arranged such that the upper part (3) is tiltable in its transverse direction. A method for tilting such a patient support device is also provided. An advantage of the invention is that without additional assemblies between a scissor lift and a table top, a tilting movement of the table top can be generated.
