The Traverse Advantage Plastic Stretcher combines a fully internal stainless steel frame with a high-density polyethylene plastic shell that protects the patient and provides a smooth bottom surface for sliding the stretcher. The frame provides a 2,500 lb. strength rating and fully supports the patient. In addition, the shell attaches to the top frame, leaving the second railing for tying in the patient. The shell has generous cutouts for carrying the stretcher and the 7/8-inch diameter top rail is more comfortable on the hands. A closed cell foam patient pad prevents absorption of fluids and is resistant to the harshest cleaning agents. For high-angle evacuations, the Advantage has the patented Str-atLoad Attachment Points for clipping in carabiners inside the frame rails. Dimensions: 85 x 23.5 x 7.5 in. (216 x 57 x 19 cm) Weight: 31 lbs. (14 kg) Load rating: 2,500 lbf. (11 kN).
