Overview

The YXH-1GL Folding Stretcher from XieHe redefines practical patient transport for modern first responders, emergency teams, and medical facilities. As an advanced folding stretcher designed for rapid deployment and dependable performance, the YXH-1GL Folding Stretcher combines compact portability with robust load-bearing capability. This lightweight medical stretcher is engineered to serve in diverse scenarios, from ambulance transfers and hospital logistics to disaster response and field operations.

Key Features and Design

The core attribute of the YXH-1GL Folding Stretcher is its optimized folding mechanism, which allows the whole unit to collapse into a compact profile for transport and storage. This folding stretcher design enables rapid deployment at incident scenes where time is critical. The frame is constructed from high-strength, corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, delivering a favorable strength-to-weight ratio that classifies the YXH-1GL as a lightweight medical stretcher without compromising durability.

Applications and Use Cases

The YXH-1GL Folding Stretcher serves as a versatile tool across multiple settings. As emergency rescue equipment for disaster relief, the folding stretcher supports rapid triage and evacuation of injured individuals from confined or complex environments. Search and rescue teams appreciate the lightweight medical stretcher’s portability when access routes are narrow or steep. Emergency departments and hospital transport teams benefit from the stretcher’s ability to move patients safely between wards and diagnostic facilities.

Innovations and Practical Advantages

The YXH-1GL Folding Stretcher introduces several innovations tailored to real-world operational needs. The folding mechanism includes a secure latch system that locks the stretcher open or closed to prevent accidental collapse during patient transfer. This feature reduces the cognitive load on medical personnel and ensures patient safety, a key requirement for emergency rescue equipment.

Technical Specifications and Performance

Technically, the YXH-1GL Folding Stretcher is rated for substantial patient loads while maintaining a low overall weight characteristic of a premium lightweight medical stretcher. Its frame geometry is engineered to distribute load evenly across the structure, reducing flex and ensuring a stable patient platform. Reinforced cross-members and durable pivot points provide consistent performance even after repeated folding cycles.

Operational Benefits and Training

Introducing the YXH-1GL Folding Stretcher into an organization’s inventory translates to tangible operational benefits. Because it is a lightweight medical stretcher, teams can deploy more quickly and with less physical strain, improving response times and reducing worker fatigue. The compact folded size means more units can be stored in limited spaces, which is especially valuable for mobile rescue units and field medical teams.

Durability, Maintenance, and Cost Efficiency

Durability is a central consideration in the YXH-1GL Folding Stretcher’s design. The resilient fabric, corrosion-proof frame finishes, and reinforced joints are intended for prolonged use even in rough conditions. Routine maintenance includes simple inspection of locking mechanisms, fabric integrity, and pivot points, ensuring any wear is addressed before it impacts performance.

It is mainly used in the hospitals and funeral houses to transport dead bodies.

The Xiehe Medical YXH-1H is a professional folding mortuary stretcher specifically designed for hospital morgues, funeral homes, and body transport services. Constructed with a high-strength aluminum alloy frame and premium PVC material, with unfolded dimensions of 208×53×36 cm, it provides a stable and reliable platform for body transport. The stretcher features a longitudinal folding design, collapsing to 110×53×10 cm for convenient storage and transport. Equipped with flexible handles and side outriggers, it requires no tools for rapid deployment and folding. Characterized by robust construction, ease of operation, and easy cleaning and disinfection, this stretcher is a professional choice for medical institutions and funeral service providers.

Construction & Materials

The YXH-1H frame is constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy tubing with reinforced structural design, delivering excellent load-bearing capacity and long-term stability. The stretcher weighs 9 kg with a maximum safe working load of up to 159 kg.

The bed surface is made from premium PVC material, offering excellent waterproofing, stain resistance, and corrosion resistance. The smooth, non-porous surface prevents liquid penetration and withstands repeated cleaning with various disinfectants, meeting the high hygiene standards of medical and funeral service environments. The PVC material provides good flexibility and tear strength, maintaining stable physical properties across various temperature conditions.

The stretcher is equipped with flexible handles providing a stable grip for two-person operation, and side outriggers that provide stable support when deployed, allowing the stretcher to stand independently for temporary parking and loading/unloading during body transport operations. All aluminum components undergo corrosion-resistant anodizing treatment, ensuring long-term durability.

Design Features

Longitudinal Folding Structure

The YXH-1H features a longitudinal folding design that reduces the length by nearly half when folded (from 208 cm to 110 cm), with a thickness of only 10 cm, allowing easy storage in equipment rooms, cabinets, or transport vehicles. The folding joints are equipped with safety locking devices that automatically lock into place when deployed, ensuring structural stability during use.

Specialized Body Transport Design

The bed surface is flat and sturdy, providing stable support for body transport. The 36 cm unfolded height allows operators to maintain a natural working posture during loading and unloading, reducing physical strain from bending. The bed surface features no sharp edges, preventing damage to the body or injury to operators.

Easy to Clean and Disinfect

The smooth, non-porous PVC surface does not absorb liquids or contaminants. After use, it can be quickly wiped clean with medical disinfectants or cleaning agents, effectively controlling infection and odors—meeting the high-frequency usage requirements of funeral homes and hospital morgues.

Stable Support Structure

When deployed, the side outriggers provide stable four-point support, allowing the stretcher to stand independently on the ground without relying on walls or other support. This design is particularly practical for body loading/unloading, preparation, and temporary parking scenarios.

Applications

Hospital Morgues: Suitable for intra-hospital body transport, temporary parking, and loading/unloading operations in hospital morgues—an essential piece of equipment for daily morgue operations.

Funeral Homes: Suitable for body reception, storage, and transport before memorial services in funeral homes—the folding design facilitates efficient use of space within the facility.
