Junkin 78" JSA-601-NAS Easy-Fold Stretcher: Rapid Deployment for Medical Corps
When emergency response demands speed and portability, heavy rigid equipment can become a liability. The Junkin 78" JSA-601-NAS Easy-Fold Aluminum Stretcher is engineered to solve this problem by offering a full-size patient transport solution that collapses into a fraction of its size. Modeled after proven Medical Corps designs, this litter is built from lightweight anodized aluminum, making it easy for a two-person team to carry over long distances without fatigue, yet strong enough to support patients securely during transport.
The "Easy-Fold" mechanism allows the stretcher to break down quickly into a compact profile of just 43.5 inches in length, making it ideal for storage in cramped emergency vehicles, supply closets, or field medical kits. The patient surface is constructed from rugged 18 oz. vinyl-coated nylon, a material chosen for its resistance to fungus, rot, and moisture—critical factors for equipment stored in humid or unpredictable environments. With shaped nylon hand grips for secure handling and a sturdy aluminum frame, the JSA-601-NAS is a reliable asset for disaster relief, industrial safety, and first responder teams.
Key Benefits:
- Compact Folding Design: Collapses from a full 78-inch length down to 43.5 inches, maximizing storage efficiency in vehicles and stations.
- Lightweight Durability: Constructed from anodized aluminum tubing that resists corrosion and wear while keeping the total unit weight low.
- Sanitary Surface: The 18 oz. vinyl-coated nylon cover is fungus and rot-resistant, allowing for easy cleaning and decontamination after use.
- Secure Handling: Features ergonomic shaped nylon grips that provide a non-slip hold for carriers, even in wet conditions.
- Rapid Setup: Unfolds and locks into place in seconds, ensuring immediate readiness during time-critical emergencies.
- Institutional Grade: Built to meet the rigorous demands of military, industrial, and municipal rescue operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
What distinguishes the JSA-601-NAS "Easy Fold" model from standard rigid pole stretchers?
The JSA-601-NAS (No Arm Rest/Standard) is engineered with a dual-fold mechanism that allows it to collapse both horizontally and vertically, unlike rigid pole stretchers that take up significant space. This "Easy Fold" design transforms the 78-inch full-length litter into a highly compact bundle, enabling rapid deployment in tight quarters while maintaining the structural rigidity needed for safe patient transport once locked open. It is a "Medical Corps" style litter designed for speed and portability.
-
How compact does this stretcher fold for storage in emergency response vehicles?
When collapsed, the stretcher folds down to impressively compact dimensions of 43.5" L x 3.5" W x 7.5" H. This ultra-slim profile allows it to fit easily into the trunks of patrol cars, under benches in helicopters, or stacked in multiple units within mass casualty incident (MCI) trailers. Its storage efficiency makes it a preferred choice for disaster response teams where space is at a premium.
-
What materials are used to ensure durability and sanitation in field conditions?
The frame is constructed from lightweight anodized aluminum tubing, which provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion in outdoor environments. The patient surface is made from durable 18 oz. vinyl-coated nylon, which is fungus and rot-resistant. This non-porous material can be quickly wiped down with standard disinfectants, ensuring compliance with infection control protocols after each use.
-
Is the 350 lb load capacity sufficient for standard patient transport without a backboard?
The stretcher is rated for a load capacity of 350 lbs, which is standard for a portable pole litter of this class. The aluminum cross-brreader bars lock the frame rigid to support the patient's weight without sagging. However, for patients with suspected spinal injuries, this soft-top stretcher should be used in conjunction with a rigid backboard or scoop stretcher to ensure proper immobilization, as the flexible vinyl deck does not provide spinal support on its own.
-
Does the JSA-601-NAS include patient restraint straps as standard equipment?
No, the JSA-601-NAS is typically sold as the stretcher frame and cover only to allow agencies to customize their strap configuration. While it is compatible with standard restraint systems (like the JSA-504 straps), these must usually be purchased separately. Procurement officers should verify if their specific vendor package includes straps or if they need to be added to the order to ensure immediate field readiness.
