A rescue stretcher from Reeves, used by the FDNY, that immobilises spinal injuries and can also be dragged across multiple terrains during rescue. It suits hospitals, clinics, training centres and emergency services sourcing dependable equipment across the UAE and GCC.
S. Maritime Administration for immobilising patients with spine and neck injuries and lifting them out of tight spaces, while also offering the option to drag a patient across multiple types of terrain when lifting is not practical or possible. This dual capability, immobilisation plus drag capability, distinguishes it from a stretcher built purely for carrying, giving rescuers a single tool for situations where the terrain or the number of available rescuers changes the best method of extraction mid-rescue.
Like other stretchers in the Reeves range, its load capacity has been independently tested to over 1,000 lbs, and it is built from lightweight 18 oz vinyl-coated polyester for durability and easy cleaning. It measures 77 inches long by 27 inches wide when open, folding to 28 by 18 by 10 inches for storage, and it weighs 29 lbs with the Reeves Spine Board fitted or 17 lbs without it.
It is available in orange, identified by its RSS0051 product code. Fire departments, maritime rescue teams and confined space rescue units use this stretcher when both immobilisation and drag capability are needed in the same rescue.
