Medical Transfer Stretchers

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Jiangsu Yigao Medical Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. (Yigomed) is an established direct factory manufacturer of medical transfer stretchers, specialized patient transport platforms engineered for emergency departments, operating suites, radiology rooms, and outpatient clinics worldwide. Manufactured under certified ISO 13485 quality systems and CE compliance in Jiangsu, China, our stretcher portfolio includes hydraulic transport stretchers, emergency patient trolleys, and manual transfer stretchers.

Rapid patient transfer requires transport equipment that prioritizes smooth mobility, structural stability, and seamless patient handoff between clinical departments. Yigomed medical transfer stretchers feature heavy-gauge cold-rolled steel or high-tensile aluminum structural frames treated with anti-microbial powder coatings, supporting safe working loads up to 220 kg (485 lbs).

Designed to optimize nursing ergonomics and patient safety, our stretchers incorporate smooth hydraulic foot pedals or gas-spring elevation systems for height adjustment, Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg tilting, backrest elevation, drop-down safety side rails, central-locking caster braking with directional steering casters, foldable push handles, integrated IV poles, and oxygen cylinder holders.

As an international OEM/ODM partner for medical distributors, emergency response suppliers, and healthcare EPC contractors, Yigomed offers complete customization. We provide tailored mattress thicknesses, custom powder-coating colors, private label branding, and space-saving export packaging that maximizes container load density and reduces global logistics fees.

Fold-Down Safety Side Rails with Zero-Gap Pinch Protection
Fitted with full-length collapsible side rails that drop below the mattress level, enabling seamless, gap-free side-to-side patient sliding transfers to operating tables or hospital beds.
Radiolucent Patient Deck with Sliding X-Ray Cassette Tray
Offers an optional radiolucent phenolic mattress deck and full-length X-ray cassette sliding track, enabling emergency trauma imaging directly on the stretcher trolley.
Integrated Clinical Accessories (IV Pole & Oxygen Tank Holder)
Comes standard with a collapsible, multi-hook stainless steel IV pole, under-bed storage basket, and integrated oxygen cylinder holder for continuous patient support during transit.

Quality Control

Strictly following ISO13485 quality management system standards

Raw Frame Steel & Hydraulic Pump Audit	Incoming steel tubing, aluminum side rails, and hydraulic cylinder pumps undergo 100% wall-thickness, pressure-holding, and seal-leakage checks.
Full-Frame Static & Dynamic Overload Test	Stretcher frames undergo 24-hour static load testing at 1.5x safe working capacity (up to 330 kg) and 5,000 continuous hydraulic elevation cycles under full load.
Caster Steering & Central Braking Endurance Trial	Central-locking casters and 5th wheel directional mechanisms undergo 10 km corridor travel testing and incline braking checks under full load to guarantee zero slippage.
Side Rail Impact & Drop Test	Collapsible side rails undergo horizontal impact testing and 5,000 drop/latch cycles to ensure zero mechanism failure, play, or finger-pinch hazards.
Pre-Shipment 100% Functional & Cosmetic Inspection	Finished stretchers undergo a 30-point audit covering hydraulic lift travel, Trendelenburg tilt angles, mattress seam sealing, and export carton strength.

OEM Customization Process

FAQ

How does the 5th wheel directional steering mechanism work?

The 5th wheel is a spring-loaded center caster activated by a pedal. When engaged, it contacts the floor and maintains a fixed forward direction, allowing a single nurse to steer the stretcher straight down long hospital corridors and around tight corners without fishtailing.

Can X-ray examinations be performed directly on the transfer stretcher?

Yes, models equipped with our radiolucent compact phenolic deck feature a full-length X-ray cassette sliding track beneath the mattress deck, allowing emergency trauma X-rays without moving the patient.

Do the side rails drop low enough to allow gap-free patient sliding transfers?

Yes, our collapsible safety side rails drop completely below the mattress surface level, creating a flush, gap-free bridge between the stretcher and an operating table or hospital bed for safe sliding transfers.

What is the weight capacity of Yigomed medical transfer stretchers?

Our standard hydraulic medical transfer stretchers support a safe working load of 220 kg (485 lbs), with heavy-duty reinforced trauma models supporting up to 250 kg (550 lbs).
