1. A device for assisting loading onto a loading ramp of an ambulance a stretcher provided with a chassis and front pivoting legs pivotally attached to the chassis, said front pivoting legs having idle wheels fit for moving the stretcher, said device comprises: at least one driving wheel fixed in a front lower portion of the chassis, in front of the front pivoting legs remote from said idle wheels, in order to engage the loading ramp of the ambulance during loading and unloading of the stretcher; said at least one driving wheel is operably connected to a driving member which is electrically powered and controlled to activate the at least one driving wheel at least during the loading of the stretcher into the ambulance,a transmission axle to which is fixed a pulley which is connected to the driving member and further connected to the transmission axle are two lateral wheels, at least one of which is the driving wheel, wherein the at least one driving wheel engages a further provided idle wheel via a caterpillar track, and wherein the two lateral wheels are each configured to free wheel at a higher speed than that provided by the driving member; andat least one sensor coupled to the chassis for detecting an operating position of the stretcher during an unloading phase out of the ambulance. 2. A device for assisting loading onto a loading ramp of an ambulance a stretcher provided with a chassis and front pivoting legs pivotally attached to the chassis, said front pivoting legs having idle wheels fit for moving the stretcher, said device comprises: at least one driving wheel fixed in a front lower portion of the chassis, in front of the front pivoting legs remote from said idle wheels, in order to engage the loading ramp of the ambulance during loading and unloading of the stretcher; said at least one driving wheel is operably connected to a driving member which is electrically powered and controlled to activate the at least one driving wheel at least during the loading of the stretcher into the ambulance,a transmission axle to which is fixed a pulley which is connected to the driving member and further connected to the transmission axle are two lateral wheels, at least one of which is the driving wheel, wherein the two lateral wheels are each configured to free wheel at a higher speed than that provided by the driving member; andat least one sensor coupled to the chassis for detecting an operating position of the stretcher during an unloading phase out of the ambulance. 3. The device according to claim 2, wherein the at least one sensor comprises a first sensor fitted to detect a condition of stop in a vertical operating position of the front pivoting legs of the stretcher, said first sensor being linked to a control configured to stop the driving member and the at least one driving wheel when the stretcher is exiting out of the ambulance and at least one of the front pivoting legs is not stopped in the vertical operating position. 4. The device according to claim 3, wherein the first sensor comprises at least two sensors, switches, or detectors configured to detect a position of a safety lock of a respective one of the front pivoting legs. 5. The device according to claim 2, wherein the at least one sensor comprises a second sensor fitted to detect a position of the stretcher close to an external edge of the loading ramp in an exiting condition of the stretcher, said second sensor being linked to a control configured to stop the driving member and the at least one driving wheel when the stretcher is exiting out of the ambulance. 6. The device according to claim 5, wherein the second sensor comprises at least two sensors, switches, or detectors fixed to the ambulance, fit to match, one after another, a matching indicator of the stretcher to detect the exiting condition of the stretcher and the positioning of a front portion of the stretcher close to the external edge of the loading ramp. 7. The device according to claim 2, wherein the at least one sensor comprises an electromagnetic sensor that detects the operating position of the stretcher during the unloading phase out of the ambulance. 8. The device according to claim 2, wherein the at least one sensor comprises an optical sensor that detects the operating position of the stretcher during the unloading phase out of the ambulance. 9. The device according to claim 2, wherein the at least one sensor comprises a magnetic sensor that detects the operating position of the stretcher during the unloading phase out of the ambulance. 10. The device according to claim 2, wherein the at least one sensor comprises an inductive sensor that detects the operating position of the stretcher during the unloading phase out of the ambulance. 11. The device according to claim 2, wherein the at least one sensor comprises a contact electric switch that detects the operating position of the stretcher during the unloading phase out of the ambulance. 12. The device according to claim 2 further comprising a controller electrically coupled to the driving member and to the at least one sensor. 13. The device according to claim 12, wherein the controller activates the driving member based on a control logic and a signal provided by the at least one sensor. 14. The device according to claim 13, wherein when the front pivoting legs are in a condition of stop in a vertical operating position, the at least one sensor provides a first signal to the controller, and when the front pivoting legs are not in the condition of stop in the vertical operating position, the at least one sensor provides a second signal to the controller. 15. The device according to claim 13, wherein when the stretcher is close to an external edge of the loading ramp in an exiting condition of the stretcher, the at least one sensor provides a first signal to the controller, and when the stretcher is not close to the external edge of the loading ramp in the exiting condition of the stretcher, the at least one sensor provides a second signal to the controller. 16. The device according to claim 2, wherein the driving member and the at least one sensor are electrically connected into a circuit with one another such that if the at least one sensor is open, the driving member is disabled from activating. 17. The device according to claim 16, wherein when the front pivoting legs are in a condition of stop in a vertical operating position, the at least one sensor closes the circuit allowing the driving member to be activated. 18. The device according to claim 16, wherein when the stretcher is close to an external edge of the loading ramp in an exiting condition of the stretcher, the at least one sensor opens the circuit, and when the stretcher is spaced apart from the external edge of the loading ramp in the exiting condition of the stretcher, the at least one sensor closes the circuit.
