Junkin JSA-300-CS: Rigid Protection for Narrow Access Rescue
Standard wire basket stretchers typically measure 23 to 24 inches in width, creating a critical failure point when attempting rescues through industrial manholes, hatchways, or narrow catwalks that often measure less than 22 inches. The Junkin JSA-300-CS Confined Space Stretcher solves this geometric incompatibility by narrowing the frame to a slim 19 inches without sacrificing structural integrity. This specialized design allows rescue teams to maintain the benefits of a rigid steel litter—superior spinal protection and high-capacity lifting—in environments where only flexible drag-litters could previously fit.
Constructed from an all-welded steel frame with an 18-gauge, 1-inch hexagon mesh netting, this stretcher is built to withstand the punishing conditions of technical rescue. Unlike flexible plastic litters that can compress a patient during vertical lifts, the rigid JSA-300-CS maintains its shape, offering a secure, protective cage around the victim. Rated with a massive 1,500 lb static load capacity, it is capable of handling bariatric patients and heavy equipment loads with ease. It comes fully equipped with a four-point nylon strapping system (chest, abdomen, thigh, and calf) to secure the patient firmly during horizontal transports or high-angle evacuations.
Key Benefits:
- Narrow Profile Access: The 19-inch width allows the basket to pass through tight industrial manholes and hatchways where standard litters get stuck.
- Extreme Load Capacity: Engineered with a heavy-duty steel frame rated to support up to 1,500 lbs, ensuring safety during heavy lift operations.
- Rigid Patient Protection: Maintains form around the patient to prevent crushing forces during vertical extraction, unlike flexible wrap-around litters.
- Debris Protection: The 18-gauge hexagon wire mesh effectively holds the patient securely while allowing water and debris to pass through.
- Versatile Rigging: The open top rail design accommodates a wide variety of bridle systems for both vertical and horizontal lifting configurations.
- Secure Restraint: Includes a complete set of nylon web straps to immobilize the patient at four critical points during transport.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
What makes the "19-inch width" of this Junkin stretcher critical for confined space operations?
The 19-inch width (specifically 18.37" actual) is engineered to solve the primary logistical challenge of industrial rescue: fitting a loaded stretcher through standard 20-inch or 24-inch manways. Standard stokes baskets are typically 24 inches wide, making them impossible to insert into many tanks, boilers, and silos. This slim profile allows rescue teams to slide the patient directly through narrow portals without having to transfer them to a different device mid-rescue, significantly reducing extraction time.
-
Does the steel frame construction allow for vertical hoisting without a separate bridle?
While the stretcher is designed for vertical and horizontal lifting, it does require a specialized lifting bridle (sold separately) to attach to a hoist or tripod system. The stretcher features four reinforced lifting points (typically steel grommets or welded eyes) integrated into the top rail specifically for attaching a 4-point bridle. Using the basket without a certified bridle for vertical extraction is unsafe and violates OSHA technical rescue standards.
-
What is the weight capacity and structural integrity rating of this basket litter?
The Junkin JSA-300-CS is a heavy-duty rescue platform with a load capacity of 1,500 lbs, far exceeding the weight of a bariatric patient. Its all-welded steel frame provides a rigid, protective shell that does not rely on the patient's body for form (unlike flexible litters). This rigidity shields the patient from impact against the walls of the confined space during the lift and prevents the "squeezing" effect that can compromise breathing in flexible devices.
-
Is the 18-gauge mesh netting capable of preventing snagging on internal vessel components?
Yes, the basket is lined with 18-gauge, 1-inch hexagon mesh netting, which is welded securely to the frame. This open-grid design allows for drainage of water or decontamination fluids while ensuring that the patient's limbs or clothing do not protrude through the basket. By keeping the patient fully contained within the rigid rail, the mesh prevents snagging on ladders, internal piping, or flanges, which is a common hazard during vertical extrication.
-
How does this rigid stretcher compare to flexible skeds for spinal immobilization?
The rigid steel frame of the Junkin stretcher offers superior spinal protection compared to flexible roll-up stretchers (skeds). Because it does not flex or bend when lifted, it maintains the patient's cervical alignment more effectively, especially when used with a backboard (like the compatible JSA-360-CS). For patients with suspected spinal injuries, a rigid basket is the preferred standard of care over a flexible drag litter, provided the entry portal is wide enough to accommodate it.
