Fast Mounting Stretchers for Patient Transportation

Nodin Aviation AS

Nodin Aviation has developed a shock absorbing stretcher support rack designed to dampen any shocks and vibrations during Patient transportation.

NT-620 is a system developed for transportation of patients on standard stretchers, providing fast and flexible mounting in military or civilian vessels or vehicles.

The system reduces unpleasant and life threatening vibrations and jolts to a safe and comfortable level. The combination of the damping units interconnected with web harness gives the system a unique spherical damping capacity.

NT-620 Bagged ready for assembly

NT-620 does also have shock absorbing qualities, reducing life-threatening shock waves down to an acceptable level.

It has been developed to meet strict requirements regarding fast assembling and disassembling, reliable functionality, strength, flexibility and high degree of integration.

NT-620 Assembled

Role equipment, within 1 to 2 minutes the transport unit has been converted from a carrier of personnel or goods, into a CASEVAC/MEDEVAC unit.

The Stretcher Rack System can be delivered in three versions:

  • NT-620/1 for one stretcher
  • NT-620/2 for two stretchers
  • T-620/3 for three stretchers

NT-620 In Use

Distance between the stretchers can be adjusted to suit customer needs.
