Junkin JSA-300-B Break-Away Stretcher: Rigid Protection with Modular Portability
Technical rescue teams often face a difficult trade-off: the superior protection of a rigid basket stretcher versus the logistical challenge of transporting a full-sized litter to remote or restricted-access sites. The Junkin JSA-300-B Break-Away Plastic Stretcher eliminates this compromise. Engineered with a durable, high-density polyethylene shell supported by a stainless steel outer rail, this stretcher splits into two nesting halves. This modular design allows it to be strapped to a backpack or stowed in compact vehicle compartments, ensuring your team can bring professional-grade extraction equipment deep into the backcountry or through tight industrial passages.
Once assembled on-site, the JSA-300-B functions as a heavy-duty rescue basket capable of a 1,200 lb static load. The polyethylene shell provides a smooth, snag-free bottom surface that is ideal for sliding over snow, gravel, or industrial flooring, protecting the patient from terrain impact far better than open-frame litters. The fully exposed stainless steel top rail ensures compatibility with standard technical rigging bridles for high-angle or vertical evacuations. Outfitted with a non-absorbent foam pad and four patient restraint straps, this stretcher is a complete, field-ready solution for the most challenging patient extractions.
Key Benefits:
- Backpackable Portability: The basket breaks into two halves that nest together, significantly reducing the carrying profile for long approach hikes or narrow entry points.
- Rugged HDPE Shell: Constructed from high-density polyethylene that is resistant to chemicals, UV rays, and rust while providing a slick surface for dragging.
- Technical Rigging Ready: Features a full stainless steel outer rail (3/4") that supports high-angle tie-ins and standard vertical lifting bridles.
- High Load Capacity: Engineered to support up to 1,200 lbs, providing a massive safety factor for bariatric patients or heavy gear hauls.
- Patient Shielding: The solid-shell design protects the victim from side impacts and debris intrusion during transport through collapsed structures or brush.
- Ready for Service: Ships standard with a non-absorbent foam pad for patient comfort and four heavy-duty nylon restraint straps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
What specific operational advantage does the "break-away" feature provide for remote rescue missions?
The break-away design allows the stretcher to separate into two symmetrical halves, enabling rescuers to backpack the unit into remote or inaccessible locations where traditional rigid litters cannot be carried. Once at the patient's side, the two sections can be reassembled in seconds, providing a full-length, rigid rescue platform without the logistical burden of a 7-foot-long single-piece frame. This feature is a game-changer for mountain rescue, mining, and wildland search and rescue (SAR) operations where foot travel is mandatory.
-
Is the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) shell suitable for high-angle or vertical hoisting?
While the shell is made of rugged high-density polyethylene, it is supported by a continuous stainless steel outer rail that is permanently secured with semi-tubular rivets. This hybrid construction ensures the stretcher has the necessary rigidity and strength for vertical hoisting and high-angle extraction when used with a certified 4-point lifting bridle. The plastic shell protects the patient from external impacts and abrasive surfaces, while the steel rail handles the primary load-bearing stresses of the lift.
-
How does the quick-release pin system maintain structural integrity under heavy loads?
The two halves are joined by positive-locking, quick-release pins that create a secure, fail-safe connection that will not vibrate loose or accidentally disengage. These pins are designed to distribute the load across the stainless steel frame, allowing the unit to maintain a remarkable 1,200 lb load capacity even when fully suspended. This system ensures the stretcher remains a single, rigid unit during the most dynamic extraction maneuvers, providing the same structural confidence as a one-piece model.
-
Does the plastic construction provide a thermal or comfort advantage for the patient during transport?
Yes, the HDPE material has significantly lower thermal conductivity than metal, meaning it won't become dangerously cold in winter or scalding hot in direct sunlight, protecting the patient from temperature-related skin injuries. Additionally, the JSA-200-B features a non-absorbent foam pad and molded-in runners that provide a cushioned barrier between the patient and the ground. The plastic shell is also inherently quieter and absorbs more vibration during transport over rough terrain, which can be critical for patient comfort and preventing further shock.
-
What are the weight capacity and storage specifications for this dual-half system?
The JSA-200-B is engineered to support a load limit of 1,200 lbs while the unit itself weighs approximately 32 lbs. When assembled, it measures 84.5" L x 24" W x 7.5" H, but when broken down, the two nested halves require a significantly smaller storage footprint of approximately 44" L x 24" W x 12" H. This compact storage profile allows the unit to fit in smaller response vehicle compartments or helicopters where space is strictly limited.
