The YHR-A18 Ambulance Stretcher is a professional-grade emergency transport solution engineered for stability, safety, and user-centric operation in ambulances, hospitals, and pre-hospital rescue scenarios. Crafted from high-quality aluminum alloy, this stretcher balances lightweight maneuverability (38.5kg net weight) with heavy-duty performance (250kg load capacity), integrating unique safety features like reverse positioning braking wheels, front/rear leg self-locking devices, and anti-accidental touch protection—all designed to elevate patient care and operational efficiency.
With a 65° backrest adjustment and ≥10° leg elevation, the YHR-A18 supports flexible patient positioning for comfort and clinical needs. Its wear-resistant silent tires ensure quiet movement in hospital environments, while the ambulance-compatible locking fixture guarantees secure transit. Ideal for EMS teams, emergency departments, and medical facilities seeking a reliable, low-noise, high-safety transport tool that adapts to diverse clinical and transport scenarios.
✅ 250kg Heavy-Duty Load Capacity Reinforced aluminum alloy frame supports up to 250kg (551LBS), bridging the gap between standard (160–200kg) and bariatric (300kg+) stretchers. It safely accommodates most patient weights, including those with medical equipment, without compromising structural stability—perfect for general emergency use and moderate bariatric needs. ✅ Wear-Resistant Silent Tires with Reverse Positioning Braking Equipped with 150mm diameter wheels: front wheels (directional) for precise steering, rear wheels (universal) for flexible maneuverability. The tires are made of wear-resistant rubber with silent design, reducing noise in quiet hospital environments. Unique reverse positioning braking function enables quick, intuitive braking by reversing the stretcher—eliminating the need for separate brake levers and improving operational safety. ✅ Front & Rear Leg Self-Locking Devices Integrated self-locking mechanisms on front and rear legs automatically engage when the stretcher is in use, preventing accidental leg movement or collapse. This ensures stability in all states (transport, positioning, loading) and reduces the risk of patient injury—even during sudden movements or uneven terrain. ✅ Anti-Accidental Touch Safety Device Special anti-misoperation design prevents unintended adjustments of height, backrest, or leg position during transport or patient care. The safety lock requires deliberate, targeted operation to modify settings, eliminating the risk of accidental changes caused by bumping or improper contact—critical for high-pressure emergency scenarios. ✅ 65° Backrest + ≥10° Leg Elevation Backrest adjusts to 65° for semi-reclined patient positioning (ideal for breathing support or observation), while legs elevate ≥10° to improve circulation and reduce edema. The smooth adjustment mechanism allows precise positioning with minimal force, supporting clinical needs and patient comfort. ✅ Ambulance-Compatible Locking Fixture Equipped with a dedicated locking device that secures the stretcher firmly to the ambulance board during transit. The fixture fits most standard ambulance models, preventing shifting, tilting, or movement—even on rough roads—allowing paramedics to focus on in-transit patient care. ✅ Lightweight Maneuverability (38.5kg Net Weight) Despite its 250kg load capacity, the stretcher weighs only 38.5kg (net) thanks to high-strength aluminum alloy construction. This lightweight design enables easy one-person maneuvering in hospital corridors, ambulance interiors, and rescue scenes, reducing staff fatigue during long shifts. ✅ Easy-to-Clean & Durable Aluminum Alloy Construction The aluminum alloy frame is corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, and compatible with standard medical disinfectants. Its smooth surface simplifies cleaning and sterilization, supporting strict infection control protocols while ensuring long-term durability in intensive use.

Unlike standard stretchers with separate brake pedals, the YHR-A18’s reverse braking system lets you stop the stretcher instantly by reversing it—no bending or fumbling for levers. This intuitive design improves reaction time in emergencies and reduces staff strain, especially during solo operation.
2. 250kg “Sweet Spot” Load Capacity – Versatile Patient Support
At 250kg, it supports standard patients, those with medical equipment, and moderate bariatric cases—eliminating the need for separate stretchers. This versatility reduces equipment costs and storage space, making it a cost-effective choice for facilities with diverse patient needs.
3. Full-Cycle Safety Protection – From Transport to Positioning
The combination of anti-accidental touch devices, self-locking legs, and ambulance locking fixtures provides 360° safety. It prevents misoperation, accidental collapse, and transit shifting—critical for unstable patients or high-pressure rescue scenarios where safety margins are thin.
The wear-resistant silent tires reduce noise during movement, making it ideal for quiet hospital environments (e.g., ICUs, patient wards) or night-time rescues. Unlike noisy rubber wheels, it minimizes disturbance to patients and staff while maintaining durability.
At 38.5kg, it’s significantly lighter than most 250kg-capacity stretchers (which often weigh 45kg+). This balance enables single-person operation without sacrificing load capacity, reducing workplace injuries and improving staff efficiency during long shifts.
6. Low Maintenance & Hygiene Compliance
The corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy frame and smooth surfaces are easy to clean and disinfect. It requires no special maintenance beyond routine wiping, supporting strict infection control protocols and reducing operational costs over time.
The 65° backrest and ≥10° leg elevation support diverse clinical needs: semi-reclined for breathing support, leg elevation for circulation, or flat for transport. This flexibility eliminates the need to transfer patients between devices, improving care continuity and patient comfort.
