The "Go-Anywhere" Transport Solution The Kemp USA Folding Pole Stretcher is the ultimate solution for rapid patient movement when storage space is at a premium. Unlike rigid backboards that require large dedicated compartments, this stretcher utilizes a clever Dual-Fold Design. It collapses both lengthwise and crosswise, shrinking down to a mere 41" x 7", roughly the size of a camping chair. This makes it an ideal choice for vehicles with limited space, such as police cruisers, search and rescue ATVs, or field medical kits.

Constructed from heavy-duty Orange Nylon stretched over a lightweight aluminum alloy frame, it balances portability with strength. At only 10.5 lbs, it can be easily carried by a single responder over long distances, yet it is robust enough to support a patient weighing up to 350 lbs.

Key Features

  • Dual-Folding Mechanism: Folds in half length-ways and then width-ways, minimizing its storage footprint to just 41" x 7" x 3.5".
  • Rapid Deployment: Unfolds in seconds to provide a sturdy, elevated platform (6" high) that keeps the patient off the ground.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction: Features a durable Nylon Mesh cover that resists tearing and is easy to clean, supported by a reinforced metal frame.
  • High-Visibility Safety: The bright Orange fabric ensures the litter is easily seen in chaotic environments, from sports fields to battlefield scenarios.
  • Ergonomic Handles: Rubberized non-slip handles ensure a secure grip for carriers, even when wearing gloves or operating in wet conditions.

Why It Matters This is the classic "military litter" modernized. It is indispensable for Mass Casualty Incidents (MCI) or evacuation scenarios where you need to move many people quickly but don't have enough rigid backboards. It serves perfectly as a secondary stretcher in an ambulance or a primary evacuation tool for school nurses and athletic trainers.
