LAUNCH AND LOAD – ONE BIG BIG DAY

On the same day that St John Ambulance WA was officially launching the newest and biggest member of its fleet – the ETT designed and built bariatric Sprinter ambulance – South Australian Ambulance Service’s new bariatric ambulance had just passed final QA and was being loaded on a truck for transport to Adelaide.

But back in Perth - WA Ambulance Service Director, Len Fiori, launched the new bariatric or Complex Patient Ambulance Transport ambulance (CPAT) handing over to the Manager of Metropolitan Operations, Bruce Fraser, to explain to waiting guests and press how this innovative new vehicle complete with automatic stretcher loading system, actually worked - Explaining in detail the revolution that this vehicle truly represented, in the areas of handling and transport of obese and complex patients.

ETT and sister company DHS Emergency have certainly become the leaders, worldwide, in development of bariatric ambulances and stretchers, now with vehicles in Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria – with enquiries coming from as far a field as the USA, the Gulf and SE Asia.

Official Lift Off

Big NEWS – On Friday 29th April 2010 DHS Emergency launched the future of stretchers at an official function at the Milperra factory. The new DHS ALS - auto load stretcher is here, heralding a new era for ambulance officers and paramedics.

“This will have a dramatic effect in the area of Occupational Health and Safety, in protecting ambulance officers from back injuries”, proclaimed Alan Moses, DHS & Byron Group Executive Director, speaking at the official release. “Following successful trials, we are very pleased to present the auto load stretcher – not just a notion or an idea but a product that works - a world first, that has been designed, developed and manufactured here in Australia.”

Before an audience of dignitaries including the Honourable Daryl Melham, the Member for Banks, as well as ambulance service managers and personnel from New Zealand and across Australia, the new ALS Stretcher was put through its paces. The presentation included a hands-on demonstration plus plenty of time, for those attending, to try the auto lift stretcher and patented auto loading system for themselves. Many were the comments of surprise at the ease of operation of the stretcher. As DHS designer and engineer, Chistian Le Clair, moved the combined patient, stretcher and loading system in out of the vehicle with one finger, many couldn’t believe their eyes – until they tried it for themselves.

The DHS ALS now goes into operation with Ambulance Service NSW, on an extended on-the-road “work-out” to prove its worth, preceding a road show in Victoria and Queensland and clinical trials in South Australia. “A high level of interest is being shown from ambulance services, both here and overseas,” says Mr Leigh O’Brien, General Manager of leading ambulance manufacturer, ETT, “as this is undoubtedly the future for patient handling. Manual stretchers and manual loading will soon be a thing of the past.”

The ALS – the auto load stretcher is a world first – a giant stride towards the future in the world of ambulance.
