Ferno Advantage Basket Stretcher - FNO-RE11250399
The Ferno Advantage Basket Stretcher (#RE11250399) is ideal for safely transporting your patients in even the most technical rescue situations. It has a fully internal stainless-steel frame that provides a 2500-lb strength rating.
The outer high-density polyethylene (HDPE) shell is attached to the top rail, providing you with numerous options for securely tying your patient to the completely exposed secondary rail. Generous cut-outs in the shell provide multiple sections of exposed top rail for handling, and the 7/8" tubing allows for a more comfortable grip. The patient mattress is made of a closed-cell foam that will not allow fluids to soak into it and is able to withstand even the harshest cleaning agents.

Maintenance Tips
-
Clean after every use with mild soap and water to remove dirt, fluids, and debris.

Inspect frame and rails regularly for dents, cracks, or bending that could affect load support.

Check attachment points—carabiner holes, lift points, and harness mounts—for wear or deformation.

Examine patient restraints for fraying, stitching damage, or weakened buckles; replace immediately if worn.
-
Lubricate metal hardware lightly to prevent corrosion, especially after exposure to moisture or salt environments.

Store in a dry, shaded area to avoid UV degradation and moisture buildup.

Verify bottom mesh and support panels for tears or broken sections to ensure safe weight distribution.
-
Test lifting stability periodically to ensure secure operation during high-angle or rugged rescues.
