Winner of an Australian Design Award.
The Ferno 50-E Ambulance Stretcher was developed in Australia in consultation with ambulance services and ergonomists and offers enhanced ergonomics and manoeuvreability. Carefully designed loading features reduce the physical demand on the operator during the load and unload phase. The operator simply pulls one handle to break the front legs while the rear legs stay locked and take the weight of the stretcher and patient. As the stretcher rolls into the ambulance the front load wheels and additional intermediate wheels continue to take the weight of the patient. The rear legs automatically fold once the rear leg touch bar comes in contact with the ambulance. Throughout the loading sequence only a small proportion of the weight is carried by the operator.

The 50-E consists of two main parts. The 50-E undercarriage and the 155-E stretcher top. The 155-E stretcher top can be removed and swapped with other 50-E undercarriages to eliminate the need to transfer or manhandle a patient. It is supplied with a gas assist backrest, multiple shock position and extending carrying handles.
