The Power-LOAD is a powered cot fastener system that transforms ambulance loading and unloading from a high-risk manual task into a controlled, automated process. It wirelessly communicates with the Power-PRO XT cot to guide and secure the stretcher throughout the entire load cycle.
Why It Matters
- Protects our responders: Steering a loaded cot into an ambulance is one of the highest-risk movements in EMS. The Power-LOAD eliminates that manual effort, dramatically reducing cumulative spinal loading and the career-ending back injuries that come with it.
- Prevents patient drops: The system maintains positive cot support until the wheels contact the ground, removing the critical moment when accidental drops most often occur.
- Crash-tested security: Meets dynamic crash test safety standards — the cot stays locked and level even in sudden stops or collisions.
- Failsafe design: A manual backup system ensures the unit remains fully operable under any circumstances.
- Seamless integration: Works wirelessly with the Power-PRO XT for a coordinated, single-system loading experience.
