The Stretchers, Boards & Carry Sheets collection brings together the AERORESCUE range of patient transport and immobilisation equipment, from folding and pole stretchers through to spine boards, basket stretchers and a stair chair. It's built for emergency response teams, workplace first aid stations and rescue crews who need to move an injured person safely, whether across flat ground, up and down stairs, or out of a confined or elevated area.
Buyers typically include workplace and site first aid officers stocking a general-purpose folding or pole stretcher, industrial and confined space rescue teams needing basket stretchers or spine boards, and facilities requiring a stair chair for safe patient evacuation from upper floors.
What's included:
- Pole & folding stretchers: AERORESCUE single, dual and quad-fold alloy pole stretchers, and a 2-fold folding stretcher
- Wheeled & specialist stretchers: alloy foldaway stretcher with wheels and an alloy scoop stretcher
- Basket stretchers: standard and collapsible AERORESCUE basket stretchers for confined space or vertical rescue
- Spinal immobilisation: plastic spine board with straps, anatomic head immobiliser and T-strap restraint

- Multi-level facilities: stair chairs and carry sheets for safe evacuation and short-distance patient transfers
FAQs
Which stretcher should I choose for a confined space or vertical rescue?
A basket stretcher (standard or collapsible) is purpose-built for confined space and vertical rescue work, as its rigid frame protects the patient during a lift, whereas pole and folding stretchers are better suited to flat, ground-level transport.
What's a spine board with straps used for, compared to a general stretcher?
A spine board is used specifically to immobilise a patient's spine before movement, typically alongside a head immobiliser and restraint straps, whereas a general stretcher is for transport once the patient has been assessed and stabilised.
When would I use a carry sheet instead of a stretcher?
A carry sheet is a lightweight option for short transfers or repositioning a patient, such as moving them onto a stretcher or bed, rather than for extended transport over distance or rough terrain.
How should rescue and immobilisation equipment be maintained?
Stretchers, boards and straps should be visually inspected regularly for damage to frames, webbing and buckles, and stored clean and dry, so they're ready for use as part of your site's emergency response procedures.
