EL200 Wheeled Litter Carrier from FareTec Responder Products

January 2014

EMS would be a lot easier if every patient got sick or injured right in front of a hospital, but that's hardly practical. Instead, many of the patients EMS providers see are in far less convenient places, and some are either flat-out difficult to reach or nearly impossible to remove once you get to them.

Extrication equipment doesn't get much simpler or effective than the EL2000 Wheeled Litter Carrier from FareTec. The EL2000 is a light, stable device, equipped with two large flat-free wheels designed for transporting injured persons over rugged terrain. These flat-free tires keep the unit mobile at all times, without the need for a pneumatic pump. When the supporting legs are in the transport position the patient is easily moved by one or two persons. When the supporting legs are in the “static” position the EL2000 is a steady and stable support base for the patient. When not in use, the litter carrier is easily folded to a compact size for storage.

The EL2000 can be used in a wide array of civilian settings, including disaster tents and mobile hospitals; sports venues and stadiums; airports; indoor and outdoor concert venues; street festivals; crowd scenarios; forests (hunting); parks (emergency evacs); beaches; and more, but it's also rugged enough that more than 1,500 have been placed with U.S. military units stationed around the world. It can carry up to 500 pounds and can be assembled/disassembled in under 30 seconds.
