The Scoop Stretcher is a lightweight, durable and adjustable patient transfer stretcher designed to assist with the horizontal transport of injured or immobilised patients. Its two-piece split design allows the stretcher halves to be separated and positioned around the patient before being securely connected, helping to minimise the need to move the patient during placement.
Manufactured from strong anodised aluminium with aluminium locking mechanisms, the scoop stretcher is lightweight, non-absorbent and easy to clean and disinfect. Its adjustable length, folding construction and multiple carrying handles make it suitable for ambulances, hospitals, emergency services, sports clubs, boats, mountaineering organisations and outdoor rescue applications.
With a maximum load of 170 kg and four predetermined length settings between 168 cm and 200 cm, the stretcher can accommodate a wide range of users.

Split Scoop Design to Minimise Patient Movement
Unlike a conventional stretcher, the frame consists of two detachable halves. These can be separated and positioned beneath the patient from either side before being reconnected.
This scoop-style design is particularly useful where unnecessary movement of an injured person should be minimised during transfer onto the stretcher.
Four-Position Adjustable Length
The stretcher can be adjusted to four predetermined lengths, allowing it to accommodate different patient heights:
- Position #0: 168 cm
- Position #1: 178 cm
- Position #2: 189 cm
- Position #3: 200 cm
When fully assembled, the stretcher measures approximately 168–200 x 44 x 6 cm.
Folding Design for Transport & Storage
For easier transportation in emergency vehicles and more compact storage, the stretcher can be folded into two sections. When folded, it measures approximately 120 x 44 x 8 cm.
With a net weight of only 7.3 kg, the aluminium construction provides a practical balance between strength and portability.
Multiple Carrying Handles
The stretcher incorporates six peripheral handles to provide convenient carrying positions for operators. The front and rear sections can also be used as handles, providing additional flexibility when transporting a patient.
Three Quick-Release Safety Belts Included
Three 5 cm wide safety belts are supplied with the stretcher. Each belt features a plastic quick-release buckle to assist with securing the patient during appropriate transport and handling procedures.
Suitable for Emergency & Patient Transport
The Scoop Stretcher is suitable for a variety of professional and emergency environments, including:
- Ambulances and emergency response vehicles
- Hospitals and healthcare facilities
- Sports clubs and sporting events
