Stryker Power load installed and in use

[MariB]

Got my hands on it today. It is a nifty little gadget.

It works on all differet terrains and angles

It charges the battery in the cot

It has a manual override in case of power failure

Very easy to use

I give it a thumbs up.

We busted ass to get it many times having 3 lighter weight women on and lifting heavier patients. The cot has a 700 point limit as most power cots do but the rep said not to worry about the system itself.

I'm happy

I'll. Have to take some. Just broke it in. A couple firsts tonight. Had an emergent transfer by ground and my daughter was the driver. So since we had an EMT with a nurse in the back I was her trainer. She's been driving a while but only other emergent transport was in town. We very rarely run lights and sirens and this one was 68 miles.

Here's a video I have of the power load from an education day a few months back. They've started installing them in all our front line vehicles as they go in for scheduled service. We've had the power cots for quite a while now, the loading system is a really great piece of equipment.

Oh and if the Ambulance looks a bit odd, it's because it's just a box without a chassis used in our sim-lab. That's why it's just a window behind the airway seat.

Edit: Video doesn't seem to be working. I'll do an upload to youtube later and attach a link.
