The Powered Aero Loader lifts, at a press of a button, Stryker Power Pro XT and Stryker Performance Pro (with adaption) stretchers and allows these stretchers to be secured into the aircraft. The Powered Aero Loaders aircraft interface specifically distributes loads generated by the stretcher systems during loading, unloading and inflight to allow for safe carriage in aircraft.
#$%^&*AU2017100274A420170427.pdf#####ABSTRACT The Powered Aero Loader is a Stryker PowerLOAD that has been modified to meet the requirements of aircraft environments. In addition to this modification, a light weight aircraft interface has been developed to appropriately distribute loads into the aircraft floor that were generated from lifting the stretcher and patient. The Powered Aero Loader eliminates the requirement of paramedics to lift and transfer patients between stretcher systems. This will assist in a decrease to injury occurrence to paramedics.
