Stretcher Double Fold with Carry Bag STR-02

This two-fold pole stretcher packs down to 103cm and weighs 6kg, so it stores in a club first aid room or the boot of a car and comes out fast when someone can't walk off the field. The aluminium alloy frame is rated to carry up to 160kg, and the whole thing folds into the carry bag that comes with it.

The frame folds in two along its length, which is what gets it down to a 103cm x 18cm x 10cm pack. Opened out it measures 207cm x 54cm x 13cm, a full adult carry length. Rubber-covered handles give a grip when hands are wet or cold, and rubber-soled feet hold it steady when it is set down.

It suits a sporting club, school or event first aid setup that needs a portable stretcher on hand without giving up storage space. Straptor stocks it alongside the rest of the stretcher range, so you can weigh the double-fold against the single and triple-fold options before you buy, with phone advice or a Bendigo walk-in if you want to see it first.

A stretcher is only as safe as the people using it. This one is made for trainers, first aiders and club medical staff who are trained in moving and carrying a patient, and it should be used within that training.

Usage

Care and storage

Wipe the frame and fabric down after use and let it dry before folding it away. Store it in the carry bag out of direct sun. Check the straps and frame for wear as part of your regular kit checks.
