Product overview and purpose

The YXH-1K Folding Stretcher is engineered to serve as essential emergency response equipment for first responders, ambulance crews, rescue teams, and hospital transport personnel. As a lightweight medical transport solution, the YXH-1K Folding Stretcher allows teams to move patients quickly and safely while minimizing physical strain on handlers. XieHe’s design intent is to deliver a folding stretcher that balances durability and portability without compromising patient comfort or caregiver usability.

Core features

- Folding mechanism and compactness: The YXH-1K Folding Stretcher features an intuitive hinge and latch system that enables quick unfolding and secure locking in seconds. This folding stretcher design reduces the footprint when stored in emergency vehicles or medical supply cabinets, making it ideal for environments where space is at a premium. The compact folded profile supports efficient logistics and rapid access for emergency response equipment caches.

- Lightweight construction: Constructed using advanced alloy framing and high-density composite panels, the YXH-1K Folding Stretcher qualifies as lightweight medical transport while maintaining high load-bearing capacity. The lightweight design eases manual handling during patient transfer, especially in multi-stair or rough-terrain evacuations, and minimizes responder fatigue during prolonged operations.

- Patient security and comfort: The stretcher surface integrates a reinforced fabric bed with adjustable securing straps and head stabilization options. These features ensure secure immobilization for trauma patients while offering pressure-distribution benefits during transport. As a piece of emergency response equipment, the YXH-1K Folding Stretcher prioritizes both patient safety and comfort through thoughtful material selection and ergonomics.

Applications and deployment scenarios

- Ambulance services: The YXH-1K Folding Stretcher is ideal for EMS units seeking a compact, reliable lightweight medical transport option that integrates seamlessly with ambulance interiors. Its folding capability allows rapid stowage and quick redeployment between calls

- Disaster response and search-and-rescue: Emergency response equipment must be portable and durable in austere environments. The YXH-1K Folding Stretcher is suited to mass-casualty incidents, natural disasters, and remote-area evacuations where space, weight, and speed are critical factors

- Event and venue medical teams: For large gatherings where on-site medical care is necessary, the YXH-1K Folding Stretcher offers a rapid-response transport solution that can be stored unobtrusively and deployed instantly, fulfilling roles as primary folding stretcher gear for event medics

Technical advantages and specifications

- Load capacity and durability: The YXH-1K Folding Stretcher supports substantial patient weights while remaining classified as lightweight medical transport.

- Rapid deployment: The folding mechanism is engineered for minimal steps to ready state, enabling fast transition from stored to operational mode. Emergency responders can deploy the folding stretcher quickly even under stress.

- Corrosion resistance and weather resilience: The frame’s finish and selected materials resist corrosion and tolerate exposure to moisture and varying temperatures, extending service life in diverse climates

Why choose the XieHe YXH-1K Folding Stretcher

Choosing the YXH-1K Folding Stretcher means prioritizing a proven combination of portability, strength, and user-focused features. XieHe’s commitment to crafting dependable emergency response equipment is reflected in the YXH-1K, which aims to be the go-to lightweight medical transport option for EMS providers, rescue teams, medical facilities, and event medical staff.

Description

It is made of high strength aluminum alloy material and PVC.

It can be converted to a chair.

It is commonly used in narrow space, the two function wheels are convenient to move on land.

The Xiehe Medical YXH-1N(A) is a folding transport device featuring dual functionality as both a stretcher and a chair. Constructed with a high-strength aluminum alloy frame and premium PVC material, it measures 185×50×21 cm when deployed as a stretcher, with the chair configuration significantly reducing its footprint for flexible operation in confined spaces. With a maximum safe working load of 159 kg and a net weight of 9 kg, it is equipped with two-function wheels for smooth rolling on flat surfaces, reducing physical strain on operators. The longitudinal folding design compacts the stretcher to just 100×50×12 cm for convenient storage and transport. The YXH-1N(A) is an ideal patient transfer solution for confined spaces such as elevators, corridors, stairwells, and ambulance interiors.

Construction & Materials

The YXH-1N(A) frame is constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy tubing with reinforced structural design, ensuring stable load-bearing capacity in both usage configurations. The stretcher weighs 9 kg with a maximum safe working load of up to 159 kg.

The bed/seating surface is made from premium PVC material, offering excellent waterproofing, stain resistance, and weather resistance. The smooth, non-porous surface prevents liquid penetration and withstands repeated cleaning with various disinfectants, meeting medical hygiene standards.

The stretcher is equipped with two-function wheels for smooth and effortless rolling on flat surfaces, significantly reducing operator fatigue. All aluminum components undergo corrosion-resistant anodizing treatment, ensuring long-term durability.

Dual Function as Stretcher and Chair

The core advantage of the YXH-1N(A) lies in its rapid conversion between stretcher and chair configurations:

Stretcher Mode: When fully deployed, it serves as a standard 185 cm stretcher for patient transport in the supine position, suitable for pre-hospital emergency care, in-hospital transfers, and various rescue scenarios.

Chair Mode: Through a simple folding operation, the stretcher converts to a chair configuration, allowing patients to be transported in a seated position. The chair mode significantly reduces the equipment's horizontal footprint, making it particularly suitable for confined spaces such as elevators, narrow corridors, stair landings, and ambulance interiors.

The conversion between the two configurations is simple and requires no tools, with a single operator able to complete the change within seconds.

Two-Function Wheel Design

The YXH-1N(A) is equipped with two-function wheels that provide smooth rolling on flat surfaces during transport. The two-function wheels allow operators to push rather than fully carry the stretcher, significantly reducing physical strain—especially beneficial for long-distance transfers or frequent repositioning. On uneven ground or when navigating stairs, the device can be switched to lifting mode for versatile handling across various terrains.

Applications

In-Hospital Transfers: Suitable for patient transport between emergency departments, imaging departments, and inpatient wards via elevators and corridors. The chair mode is particularly practical in crowded elevators.

Emergency Centers & Ambulances: Suitable for patient movement within ambulance compartments and emergency centers—the two-function wheels enable flexible rolling in confined vehicle interiors.

Elderly Care Facilities: Suitable for daily transport of elderly patients with limited mobility within and between floors in nursing homes and care facilities.

Confined Space Rescue: Suitable for special scenarios such as stairwells in older residential buildings and narrow passages where conventional stretchers cannot enter or operate effectively.
