Product Overview
The Foldable Single Side Wheeled Stretcher combines the versatility of a carry stretcher with the efficiency of single-side wheeled transport. Constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy with a durable Oxford leather patient surface, this stretcher allows a single rescuer to wheel the patient on smooth surfaces while retaining full multi-rescuer carry capability for stairs, rough terrain, and confined-space extraction. Iron-reinforced joints ensure structural rigidity under load, and the quick-fold mechanism enables compact ambulance storage.

Key Features
- Single-Side Wheeled Design — Two wheels on one rail enable one-rescuer rolling transport on hospital corridors, ambulance bays, and smooth surfaces; opposite rail features skid pads for stability when stationary.
- Aluminum Alloy with Iron-Reinforced Joints — High-strength aluminum frame keeps the stretcher lightweight (approximately 12 kg) while iron-reinforced connection points prevent frame flex and ensure long-term durability under repeated loading.
- Oxford Leather Patient Surface — Waterproof, tear-resistant, and easily disinfected surface withstands exposure to blood, bodily fluids, and chemical cleaning agents without degradation or fluid absorption.
- Quick-Fold Deployment — Center-fold mechanism deploys the stretcher from folded storage to full operational configuration in under 30 seconds; equally rapid folding for ambulance loading after patient handover.
- Multi-Position Carry Handles — Ergonomic padded handles positioned for 2-, 3-, and 4-rescuer carry configurations with balanced weight distribution for stairway negotiation and confined-space extraction.
- Integrated Restraint Straps — Quick-release buckle restraint system secures the patient during transport without requiring separate strap kits; straps are permanently attached to the frame to prevent loss.
Applications
- Ambulance, hospital and first-aid patient transport workflows
- Rescue, evacuation and emergency-response operations
- Clinics, industrial sites and public facilities preparing emergency equipment
- Organizations selecting a stretcher or rescue device for the stated load and environment
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this stretcher be used by a single rescuer?
Yes. On smooth, level surfaces such as hospital corridors, ambulance bays, and airport terminals, a single rescuer can roll the stretcher using the wheeled side. The skid pads on the opposite rail provide stability when the stretcher is stationary. For stairs, rough terrain, or patient weights exceeding 100 kg, a 2-person carry team is recommended. The multi-position handles readily accommodate additional rescuers as needed.
How compact is the stretcher when folded?
When folded at the center joint, the stretcher reduces to approximately 50% of its deployed length and approximately 15 cm total thickness (frame + folded Oxford surface + wheels). The compact folded dimensions fit standard ambulance exterior compartments, helicopter cargo areas, and first-aid station wall racks. Exact folded dimensions depend on the deployed length setting.
What maintenance do the wheels require?
The wheels feature sealed ball bearings requiring no routine lubrication. Inspect wheels before each deployment for debris, cuts, or bearing roughness. Clean wheel treads with disinfectant solution after patient transport involving bodily fluid exposure. Replace wheels showing tread wear, bearing play, or cracking. Replacement wheel kits are available from Roundfin with simple bolt-on installation.
Is the Oxford leather surface compatible with chemical decontamination?
Yes. The Oxford leather surface is formulated for compatibility with standard hospital-grade disinfectants including quaternary ammonium compounds, sodium hypochlorite (up to 0.5%), accelerated hydrogen peroxide, and 70% isopropanol. Avoid prolonged immersion and phenolic-based disinfectants which may cause surface stiffening over time. The waterproof backing prevents fluid strike-through to the frame beneath.
