Overview

The YXH-1A6 Folding Stretcher from XieHe is a purpose-built solution for modern emergency response teams, medical facilities, and rescue operators who require reliable, lightweight patient transport that is easy to carry, deploy, and sterilize. Designed with practical field use in mind, this folding stretcher integrates robust materials, ergonomic design, and modular functionality to meet the demands of diverse emergency scenarios. Built to be a cornerstone of emergency medical equipment inventories, the YXH-1A6 Folding Stretcher delivers performance and durability while prioritizing patient comfort and caregiver efficiency

The YXH-1A6 Folding Stretcher is a compact, foldable patient transport platform optimized for quick deployment and storage. As a folding stretcher, it collapses into a compact package that reduces logistical footprint, enabling first responders to carry multiple units in ambulances, helicopters, and rescue vehicles. The unit’s engineering focuses on a balance between lightweight patient transport capability and structural strength; reinforced joints and high-grade aluminum alloy frames support substantial weight while maintaining portability

Construction materials were selected to meet rigorous performance and sanitation protocols. The frame uses aircraft-grade aluminum to achieve a low mass without sacrificing load-bearing capacity, enabling a true lightweight patient transport experience that remains rigid under load

Patient safety and caregiver ergonomics are central to the YXH-1A6 Folding Stretcher design. The stretcher’s low-profile mattress pad provides pressure distribution to reduce the risk of pressure sores during prolonged transfers, while the integrated head and lower limb supports stabilize the patient in transit. Multiple adjustable straps with quick-release buckles secure patients of varying sizes without excess pressure

The YXH-1A6 Folding Stretcher is intentionally versatile to address a wide array of scenarios. In pre-hospital emergency medicine, it functions as a primary patient transfer device from incident scenes to waiting EMS units. For disaster response and mass-casualty incidents, the folding stretcher’s compactness enables responders to stage many units for triage and evacuation. Search-and-rescue teams will appreciate the stretcher’s compatibility with hoist and rope systems, and its capacity for secure attachment during aerial evacuation

Portability is a keystone feature, ensuring that personnel can move the stretcher quickly over rough terrain or crowded scenes. The folding mechanism allows the stretcher to reduce its profile for storage in tight compartments or for carriage on backpacks and vehicles. Because it is designed as lightweight patient transport equipment, teams can carry multiple YXH-1A6 Folding Stretchers as standard issue, providing redundancy in large-scale operations

The YXH-1A6 is engineered to be compatible with common emergency medical equipment interfaces. It accommodates standard immobilization devices, cervical collars, and spinal boards, and includes attachment points for IV poles and monitoring devices. Its dimensions align with ambulance cot adapters and helicopter stretcher mounts, facilitating seamless transfer between transport platforms

Maintenance and sanitation procedures are straightforward. The waterproof, antimicrobial fabric allows disinfectants to be used without risk of material degradation, and the aluminum frame resists corrosion, reducing lifecycle costs. Reinforced connection points and easily serviceable hinges are designed for field-level inspections and replacement, extending operational life and maintaining readiness as emergency medical equipment

The YXH-1A6 Folding Stretcher introduces several practical innovations that enhance rescue efficiency. Its fold-and-lock architecture reduces set-up complexity and minimizes the number of moving parts vulnerable to failure. The combination of lightweight patient transport capability with high load-bearing capacity supports a wider weight range than comparable folding stretchers, expanding its usability for diverse patient populations

Description

This folding stretcher is made of high-strength aluminum alloy and canvas material.

It is used for carrying patients and wounded persons.

The Xiehe Medical YXH-1B1 is a folding stretcher constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy and high-tenacity Oxford fabric with a PVC-coated back, designed for patient and casualty transport in pre-hospital emergency care, hospital transfers, and various rescue operations. Built with a sturdy structure and reliable quality, it offers an optimal balance of ultra-lightweight portability and load-bearing performance, making it a fundamental transfer tool in any emergency medical system. The stretcher can be rapidly deployed and folded without the need for additional tools, allowing for efficient operation by single or dual users. When folded, its compact dimensions save valuable storage space and allow for flexible placement in ambulance compartments, emergency supply cabinets, or rescue equipment bags—meeting both daily operational and emergency preparedness needs. The fabric surface is waterproof, abrasion-resistant, and easy to clean, complying with medical hygiene requirements. Engineered for practicality, durability, and dependability, the YXH-1B1 provides solid transfer support for emergency responders and first responders alike.

Key Specifications

Construction & Materials

The YXH-1B1 frame is built from high-strength aluminum alloy tubing, selected for its superior strength-to-weight ratio. This material delivers the rigidity needed to safely support patients up to 159 kg while keeping the stretcher itself at just 4 kg—light enough for a single operator to carry and maneuver with ease.

The patient contact surface is made from high-tenacity Oxford fabric with a PVC-coated back, offering excellent waterproofing and abrasion resistance. This surface prevents liquid penetration, withstands repeated cleaning with hospital-grade disinfectants, and provides a smooth, non-abrasive layer to reduce patient discomfort during transport. The fabric is securely attached to the aluminum frame, eliminating any risk of detachment under load.

All aluminum components undergo a corrosion-resistant anodizing treatment, ensuring long-term durability even in harsh environments—coastal rescue operations, humid tropical climates, or vehicle storage where condensation is common.

Design Features

Rapid Fold-and-Store Mechanism

A center-pivot folding system allows the stretcher to collapse from its full 185 cm length down to a compact 92.5 cm in a single motion. At only 7 cm thick when folded, it fits easily into ambulance compartments, helicopter rescue bays, hospital supply closets, or even standard vehicle trunks. Two units pack efficiently into one carton (99 × 56 × 18.5 cm), optimizing both shipping and warehouse space.

Integrated Ergonomic Handles

Four ergonomic handles—two at each end—provide multiple grip options for two-person or four-person carries. The handles are welded directly onto the aluminum frame rather than bolted, eliminating potential failure points and ensuring reliable weight transfer during transport over uneven ground.

Patient Safety System

The YXH-1B1 comes with an integrated safety belt and quick-release buckle, allowing medical personnel to secure patients during transport—especially critical when navigating stairs, rough terrain, or transferring between stretcher and ambulance cot.

Applications

Ambulance Services: Ultra-compact folded size and 4 kg ultra-lightweight design make it an ideal backup stretcher for mass casualty incidents. The exceptionally light build significantly reduces paramedic fatigue when carrying patients up and down stairs.

Hospital Emergency Departments: Functions as a rapid transfer tool between triage, imaging, and treatment areas. The waterproof, easy-to-clean surface simplifies infection control.

Sports Medicine & Athletic Facilities: Provides a reliable means of immobilizing and transporting injured athletes from the field to the treatment room.

Military & Field Operations: Corrosion-resistant construction and compact storage suit tactical medical units operating in austere environments.
