Wheeled Alloy Folding Stretcher, Folds to Suitcase Size | STR-05
When someone is hurt, moving them safely matters. The right equipment helps trained people do that calmly and without delay. We supply Australian workplaces, schools, sports clubs, training providers, councils and first aid teams, and we are happy to talk through what suits your setting.
How to choose the right stretcher for your setting
Start with where it will be used. A narrow corridor, a football field and a stairwell all ask different things of your kit. Think about who will carry it, how much storage space you have, and how often your team trains with it. Check each product page for its rated load and size. Like all rescue equipment, these items are intended for trained users, so follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Pole stretchers and foldaway stretchers
Pole stretchers fold down for storage and open up quickly. Some come with a carry case, and one foldaway model has wheels for easier movement across flat ground. They suit first aid rooms, factories and sports grounds where space is limited.
Scoop stretchers and spine boards
A scoop stretcher splits so it can be fitted around a person with little movement. A spine board is a rigid, flat board used with straps. Many teams keep both, since they are used in different ways. Ask us if you are unsure which fits your training.
Basket stretchers
Basket stretchers have raised sides that help hold a person in place over rough or uneven ground. Our range includes a rigid model and a collapsible one that packs down for storage. We also stock a stretcher bridle for the aviation stretchers.
Stair chairs
A stair chair helps trained carers move someone up or down steps where a full stretcher will not fit. If you also need seated evacuation options, see our evacuation chairs.
