3. Integrated fold-out legs elevate the stretcher 30 cm above ground, enabling patient transfer without rescuers bending to floor level and providing a stable platform for initial assessment
4. Oxford cloth patient surface with high-density foam padding — waterproof, tear-resistant, and easily disinfected between patients; removable for machine washing
5. Twin-wheel rolling capability on the leg-end allows one-rescuer wheeled transport on smooth surfaces while retaining full carry-handle functionality
6. Multiple reinforced carry handles with ergonomic grip zones for 2-4 rescuer team operation; CE marked and ISO 13485 certified
Product Overview
The Stainless Steel Four Two Fold Portable First-aid Stretcher combines the durability of a 304 stainless steel frame with the ultra-compact storage of a quad-fold (four-panel, two-joint) design. Integrated fold-out legs elevate the patient platform 30 cm above ground level for ergonomic patient loading and initial assessment without rescuer bending. The Oxford cloth patient surface with foam padding provides patient comfort while the twin-wheel leg-end enables single-rescuer rolling transport on smooth surfaces. When folded, the stretcher occupies approximately 25% of its deployed length — ideal for ambulances, industrial first-aid stations, and sports medicine facilities.

Key Features
- Quad-Fold Ultra-Compact Storage — Four-panel design with two folding joints reduces the stretcher to approximately 25% of its deployed length; fits in standard ambulance exterior compartments and wall-mounted first-aid cabinets.
- 304 Stainless Steel Frame — Fully welded and polished construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to aluminum in coastal, industrial, and chemical-exposure environments; withstands repeated pressure washing and chemical disinfection.
- Integrated Fold-Out Legs — Elevates the patient platform 30 cm above ground, enabling ergonomic patient assessment, IV access, and transfer to a hospital gurney without rescuers working at floor level.
- Twin-Wheel Rolling Capability — Wheels on the leg-end frame allow single-rescuer rolling transport on smooth floors, corridors, and ambulance bays; skid pads on the opposite end provide stationary stability.
- Removable Washable Patient Surface — Oxford cloth with foam padding detaches from the frame for machine washing; waterproof backing prevents fluid strike-through to the frame and rescuers.
- Ergonomic Multi-Position Handles — Reinforced handle attachment points with ergonomic grip zones accommodate 2, 3, and 4-rescuer carry configurations with balanced weight distribution across the frame.
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
How compact is this stretcher when fully folded?
The quad-fold design (four panels folding at two joints) reduces the stretcher to approximately 25% of its deployed length. For a standard 200 cm deployed length, the folded dimensions are approximately 55 x 50 x 30 cm including the folded legs, wheels, and patient surface. The compact cube fits most ambulance exterior compartments, wall-mounted first-aid cabinets, and industrial safety equipment lockers.
How do the fold-out legs work?
The two legs are hinged to the foot-end frame panel. To deploy, unfold the stretcher, then swing each leg outward until it locks into the vertical position. To fold, press the leg lock release and swing the leg flat against the frame panel before refolding the stretcher. The legs automatically lock in both deployed and stowed positions. Do not place weight on the stretcher until both legs are confirmed locked in the deployed position.
Is the stainless steel frame significantly heavier than aluminum?
The 304 stainless steel frame adds approximately 2-3 kg compared to an equivalent aluminum frame. This weight penalty is accepted in exchange for superior corrosion resistance (critical for coastal/marine environments and frequent pressure washing), greater impact resistance (stainless steel dents rather than cracks), and a service life of 10+ years with proper maintenance. For applications where minimum weight is the absolute priority, consider one of Roundfin's aluminum alloy stretcher models.
Can the patient surface be replaced if damaged?
Yes. The Oxford cloth patient surface is a replaceable component attached to the frame with heavy-duty snap fasteners and hook-and-loop straps. Replacement surfaces are available from Roundfin in standard dimensions. For OEM orders, custom surface colors and institutional branding are available. To replace, unsnap the old surface from the frame, attach the new surface starting from the head end, and verify all fasteners are fully engaged before patient use.
