Basket Stretcher

ALASKA
Advanced water rescue basket stretcher

The novelties, with respect to the previous version, are considerable, and the fact that the Shell has remained almost unchanged in the past years demonstrates the unwillingness of Spencer to make unnecessary changes to a model that has always enjoyed a propelled worldwide recognition, due to the fact that it is one of the most highly performing basket stretchers for rescue on water on the scene.
Nevertheless, today Spencer comes out into the open with a new version which presents a novelty worthy enough to boast a truly strong unique selling, nevertheless keeping unchanged the production process which belongs to the Shell and has made it famous, that is to say the use of middle density polyethylene for the moulding of the one-piece shell.
The body is joined to a framework that is light but above all, rigid.

This confers to the stretcher a high level of lateral rigidity, which is combined with the extraordinary capacity to absorb mechanical stress caused by the waves.
A system that utilizes two wings, consisting of hermetically welded tubular floating buoy, normally contained inside the stretcher frame. They open outwards upon necessity, distancing themselves from the main structure to guarantee an elevated level of stability and a reduction in the rolling movement. The distance of the wings is adjustable and can be set according to the strength of the waves and of the person to be rescued.
Several solutions, all new and consolidated, play their special roles in the creation of a better level of security in water rescue.
