Service and maintenance - critical for powered stretchers

In modern EMS operations, powered stretchers are mission-critical assets. 

As systems like the Power X2 and Power F2 become central to daily patient transport, service and maintenance play an increasingly important role in keeping fleets operational, safe, and predictable.

Powered stretchers differ from traditional manual equipment by integrating mechanical, electrical, and control systems into a single, coordinated solution.

This makes performance highly reliable when properly maintained — but also means that preventive service is essential to avoid unexpected downtime.

Consistent service supports several key operational priorities

📌 Reliable performance during every response
📌 Reduced risk of sudden technical issues
📌  Longer service life of high-value equipment
📌 Improved safety for both crews and patients

For powered stretchers like Power X2, maintenance is not only about fixing faults, but about preserving performance over time.

Typical benefits include

📌 Defined maintenance intervals and service routines
📌 Faster access to technical support when needed
📌 Better cost control over the equipment lifecycle
📌 Reduced administrative burden for fleet management

For decision-makers, this translates into fewer surprises and more confidence in fleet readiness.

Regular maintenance means less downtime

For EMS organisations, unplanned equipment downtime can quickly affect operations. 

A stretcher taken out of service may impact vehicle availability, increase workload on other units, or force crews to rely on backup solutions.

Scheduled checks, updates, and adjustments ensure that powered systems continue to operate as intended, reducing the risk of failures during critical moments.

Supporting a functional fleet with minimal downtime

As EMS fleets become more standardised around powered patient transport, service and maintenance become part of the operational strategy — not just a technical necessity.

A well-maintained Power X2 fleet supports consistent workflows, predictable availability, and safer daily operations. In high-demand environments, this reliability can be just as important as the features of the equipment itself.
