Junkin JSA-502 Break-Apart Pole Stretcher: Compact Design for Rapid Deployment
When storage space is limited and mobility is critical, standard rigid stretchers can be a hindrance. The Junkin JSA-502 Break-Apart Pole Stretcher addresses this by offering a full-length patient transport solution that disassembles into a compact bundle. Designed for emergency response teams, industrial first aid stations, and mass casualty preparedness, this stretcher utilizes heavy-duty aluminum poles that separate in the middle, allowing the entire unit to fold down to just 45 inches in length. This "break-apart" capability ensures it fits easily into cramped vehicle compartments, supply closets, or backpack kits.
Despite its portability, the JSA-502 does not sacrifice durability. The frame is constructed from rugged anodized aluminum, providing a solid 350 lb weight capacity while keeping the total unit weight at a manageable 10 lbs. The patient surface is made from 18 oz. green vinyl-coated nylon, a material specifically chosen for its resistance to fungus, rot, and moisture, making it easy to clean and sanitize after use in harsh field conditions. With shaped handle grips for secure carrying, this stretcher is an essential tool for quick, effective patient evacuation.
Key Benefits:
- Space-Saving Breakdown: The aluminum poles separate in the center, allowing the stretcher to fold into a compact 45-inch bundle for easy storage.
- Ultra-Lightweight: Weighing only 10 lbs, it minimizes the load on rescue personnel during long carry-outs or rapid deployments.
- Durable Construction: Features sturdy anodized aluminum poles and a heavy-duty 18 oz. vinyl-coated nylon cover for long service life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
What specific design feature makes the JSA-502 suitable for backpacking or remote search and rescue (SAR) operations?
The JSA-502 is uniquely engineered to break apart into two separate halves, allowing the poles to be disconnected at the center. This reduces the packed length to just 45 inches, making it compact enough to be strapped onto a backpack or carried by a single rescuer during long hikes into inaccessible terrain where standard rigid litters cannot be transported. It is the definitive solution for backcountry rescue and mining operations.
-
How does the "break-apart" mechanism function for rapid assembly in the field?
The stretcher utilizes a heavy-duty aluminum locking hinge system. To assemble, the rescuer simply aligns the two pole halves and engages the locking collar, which rigidly secures the frame in seconds without the need for tools. This intuitive mechanism ensures that the stretcher can be deployed immediately upon reaching the patient, even in low-light or high-stress conditions.
-
Is the canvas material resistant to environmental degradation and pathogens?
The patient surface is constructed from heavy-duty 18 oz. vinyl-coated nylon, which is specifically treated to be fungus and rot-resistant. This non-porous material withstands exposure to mud, rain, and blood, and can be easily decontaminated with standard wipes or bleach solutions, ensuring the stretcher remains sanitary and durable through years of harsh field use.
-
What is the load capacity of this lightweight pole stretcher?
Despite weighing only 10 lbs, the JSA-502 is rated for a load capacity of 350 lbs. The rigid 1.25" anodized aluminum poles provide excellent structural integrity, preventing the stretcher from bowing excessively under load. This strength-to-weight ratio is critical for manual carry operations where every ounce of equipment weight counts against rescuer fatigue.
-
Does the kit include patient restraint straps for secure transport over uneven terrain?
Unlike some bare-frame models, the JSA-502 typically comes ready for basic transport, but specific strapping configurations may vary by vendor package. However, the frame design is compatible with standard 2-inch nylon patient restraint straps (often sold separately as JSA-504) which can be looped around the poles to secure the patient's chest and legs, preventing them from sliding off during transport over rough or inclined ground.
