Shop Ambulance Stretchers for EMS & Hospital Transport

New and Used Ambulance Stretchers

An ambulance stretcher is the single most-used piece of equipment on any transport call, and buying the wrong one can result in staff injuries and downtime you can't afford. At Stretchers 'R Us, we've spent years helping first aid crews, hospitals, and EMS agencies match the right cot to complement their operations. The right cot fits your rig, your crew, and your patient population, and we can help you find the perfect fit.

Types of Ambulance Stretchers We Carry

There are a few main categories most buyers end up choosing between when ordering ambulance stretchers. Manual stretchers are lighter on the budget, simple to maintain, and reliable when your crew has the manpower to lift. Powered cots, on the other hand, use a battery-powered hydraulic system to raise and lower patients with minimal staff involvement, which takes a serious load off your crew's backs. If you're dealing with lifting injuries or an aging workforce, this is where most agencies are moving.

Bariatric stretchers are built for higher weight capacities, and specialty transport accessories for pediatric or long-distance work round out our offerings. Most agencies run a mix depending on their call volume and patient demographics.

What to Look For in an Ambulance Stretcher

Weight capacity is the first factor to consider when purchasing an ambulance stretcher. Match it to your actual patient population, not the average. If you serve a heavier community, undersizing here is a mistake you'll regret on calls. Load compatibility is the next factor. If you're running a fastener or powered load system, your cot needs to match that. Buying a cot that won't lock into your existing mount is one of the most common and expensive errors we see.

Serviceability, warranty terms, parts availability, and preventive maintenance should all be considered, too.
