New KONG Emergency Stretcher for Harsh Environments

The new Lecco 2.0 mountain rescue stretcher not only retains the features of the previous generation of stretchers, but also adds multi-functionality on this basis, further improving efficiency! The product is selected by the CNSAS - National Agency for Alpine and Cave Rescue Teams

The main features of the new version are:

Brand-new reinforced transport belt, comfortable to carry and convenient to transport, flash storage with customizable labels to enhance component recognition

Single-person assembly takes no more than one minute, pre-assembled frame and fabric, design to prevent component loss, 3-section frame structure

New ergonomic handle, variable cross-section (oval) shoulder load distribution is more even, making transportation more comfortable. The outer fabric is equipped with 4 zipper pulls, allowing partial opening to observe and assist the injured. Extra zipper at the foot section

Transparent face shield for maintaining eye contact with the patient. A wide range of accessories ensure reliability in various usage scenarios.

The total length including the handles is 3.1 meters, and the length excluding the handles is 2.0 meters. When disassembled and packed into the carrying backpack, the dimensions are 85x55x22 cm. The weight is 14 kg (excluding the backpack).

The fabric is equipped with a series of straps in different colors, allowing multiple secure fixation of the injured person. Four external tightening straps ensure locking. The cover can be fully opened with dual zippers, facilitating inspection of the injured person's lower limbs. An extra zipper is added at the foot section. The large size of the stretcher and the length of the closure straps allow the insertion of a vacuum mattress for securing the injured person.

The shoulder straps are covered with comfortable padding, with front and rear distinctions. The front shoulder straps can be installed in an upright position for normal transportation, or in a turned position for steep slopes or overhanging jumps, effectively preventing the shoulder straps from slipping. The long rear shoulder straps allow rescuers to obtain a good field of view on the ground.

The design of the stretcher and shoulder straps can withstand a uniformly distributed working load of 180 kg (safety factor 1:4). Kong conducted slow-traction destructive tests in the laboratory simulating actual working conditions. Helicopter suspension slings and suspension slings using cableways can withstand a SWL of 500 kg (safety factor 1:4). If used as instructed, the load-bearing capacity of the flat straps of the lowered stretcher is 400 kg (safety factor 1:4).
