Rescue Stretchers are critical safety tools designed for the safe and efficient transportation of injured or immobile individuals during emergency and rescue operations. These stretchers are built for use in demanding environments such as construction sites, industrial plants, remote areas, and disaster zones. Made with durable and lightweight materials, they ensure stability, comfort, and quick evacuation in crisis situations. Many variants are foldable, fire-resistant, and compatible with lifting systems.

What types of rescue stretcher are available for industrial use?
Common types include folding stretchers, basket or Sked-style stretchers for confined-space and vertical rescue, scoop stretchers that split for careful lifting, and spinal boards for suspected spine injuries. Each suits different rescue scenarios. Selection depends on your site hazards, whether you need confined-space or height rescue, and how the casualty must be moved.
Which stretcher is best for confined-space or height rescue?
A basket-type or wrap-around rescue stretcher is best for confined spaces and height rescue, because it secures the casualty firmly and can be lifted or lowered vertically with rigging. These designs protect the patient during technical extraction. For suspected spinal injury, pair it with immobilisation so the casualty is not flexed during retrieval.
How should rescue stretchers be maintained and stored?
Store stretchers in a clean, accessible, clearly marked location protected from sunlight and chemicals, and inspect them regularly for damage to straps, buckles, handles and the body. Clean and disinfect after each use. Check that any harnesses and lifting points are intact, and keep them ready near high-risk areas so response teams can deploy quickly.
How do I choose stretcher capacity and material for my site?
Choose a load rating that comfortably exceeds the heaviest likely casualty plus equipment, and pick materials suited to your environment, such as chemical-resistant polyethylene for wet or corrosive areas. Consider weight for portability and whether the unit must fit through narrow openings. For rugged industrial rescue, prioritise durable, easy-to-decontaminate materials with secure restraints.
