Description

The new ALPINE stretchers have been designed taking into account many comments over the years about other stretchers on the market.
There is no way you can please everyone and there are always those that can do better and have none constructive comments, but the following will try to explain the features.
It has a similar shape to the Alphin but on a closer inspection you will find that the section from the shoulders to the hips has been made parallel, it is also 10cm longer, taking into account the taller, larger population.

• Both styles of the ALPINE can be split for long carries into  casualty sites.
• Both styles fold ski to ski for ease of backpacking by one  person this is to reduce bulk on the carriers back and for  economical storage.
• When opened to receive a casualty the stretcher is not  reliant on the lock to keep it flat when in a horizontal lift or  carry position, however the lock is required when being  used in vertical lifting, or sliding/sledging over edges or  rough terrain.
• Both stretchers have the same design of skis made from  square tube and they are wider at the head/ trunk end for  more stability when sledging.
• The Mountain Rescue (MR) stretcher has a ski pan set  between the head end skis for ease of sliding over rough  terrain and snow but more important to protect the casualties back from rocks etc.
• Both stretchers come with casualty securing straps and  Lifting, Winching, Carrying and Dragging/Sledge pulling  straps.
• Both come with storage bag that has a single padded  shoulder carrying strap and outside pouch for Inspection  Record card.
• Both will accept the fitting of carrying handles but the MR  stretcher they come as standard.
