The Junkin JSA-602 is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of institutional safety protocols, providing a standardized solution for rapid medical evacuation in schools and industrial plants. This wheeled stretcher ensures that first responders can move patients quickly while complying with facility safety audits and workplace regulations. The use of a reinforced aluminum frame and heavy-duty vinyl cover protects the unit from mechanical damage, maintaining its readiness for critical incidents. Safety officers can rely on this unit to fulfill the requirement for mobile emergency stations in large-scale manufacturing zones or government buildings. Its comprehensive design reduces the logistical burden of requiring multiple responders for a standard pole stretcher transport.

The integrated wheel and post system allows a single responder to transport a patient over flat surfaces with significantly reduced physical exertion. This mechanical advantage is a vital force-multiplier for facilities where staff may be limited during a crisis or night shift. The front wheels and rear posts provide a stable tripod-like base when stationary, allowing for easier patient loading and unloading. By enabling solo operation, this unit directly supports OSHA-compliant manual handling protocols within professional environments. The 3-inch wheels are designed to navigate standard interior flooring and thresholds without jarring the patient or losing momentum.

This stretcher is constructed with high-strength aluminum poles that provide a robust structural framework while remaining lightweight for rapid deployment. These poles are specifically designed to support a significant static load capacity, ensuring the safe extrication of adult patients in diverse emergency scenarios. The frame features a central hinge that allows the unit to fold in half for compact storage in limited spaces. Non-slip handles are shaped for an ergonomic grip, allowing responders to maintain control and leverage during heavy lifting phases. The combination of lightweight aluminum and reinforced hardware makes this one of the most reliable wheeled stretchers for institutional use.

The Easy Fold design significantly lowers the TCO by allowing the unit to be stored in a compact footprint, facilitating the scalable deployment of emergency stations throughout a large facility. Because the unit folds, it fits into smaller, high-visibility storage cabinets that can be positioned at strategic intervals near high-risk areas. This portability allows a single responder to quickly retrieve the unit and navigate it through narrow aisles or crowded workspaces. The intuitive folding mechanism requires no complex assembly, ensuring that staff can deploy the stretcher in seconds without specialized training. By standardizing on this foldable platform, organizations can ensure a uniform and cost-effective emergency response across multiple departments.

For enhanced patient care, the JSA-602 cover is manufactured from an 18 oz. vinyl-coated nylon that is both flame-retardant and highly resistant to bloodborne pathogens and chemicals. This material allows for rapid decontamination using standard medical-grade disinfectants, ensuring the unit can be safely reused after a high-risk incident. The integrated nylon handles provide a stable lift that minimizes jarring for the patient during movement over uneven terrain or thresholds. To ensure decedent or patient security, the unit includes two quick-release restraint straps that maintain a balanced center of gravity during transit. These technical redundancies work together to protect both the operator and the dignity of the patient during high-stress evacuations.
