Abtech ABSS Adjustable Stretcher Positioning Strops - The Abtech ABSS Positioning Strops are a critical component for technical stretcher recovery, ensuring a casualty remains in a perfectly horizontal and stable orientation during lifting or lowering operations. Even with the most secure stretcher, an unevenly distributed load can cause dangerous tilting; the ABSS solves this by providing precise, millimetre-perfect levelling.
Constructed from high-tenacity webbing and compliant with EN 358, these strops are fully adjustable between 520mm and 1880mm. This wide range allows rescue teams to compensate for various patient weights and equipment loads, maintaining a steady "cradle" during vertical extraction.
Key Features & Benefits
Precision Leveling: Fully adjustable length (520mm to 1880mm) allows for the fine-tuning of a stretcher's pitch and roll during a haul.
Universal Compatibility: Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Abtech SLIX range, ST/044 Basket Stretchers, and most third-party rescue frames or bridles.
High-Strength Connectors: Supplied with professional-grade hardware—choose between Pear-Shaped Maillons for semi-permanent rigging or Scaffold Twistlock Connectors for rapid deployment.
EN 358 Compliant: Certified to European standards for work positioning, ensuring the strops can handle the rigours of industrial and emergency rescue.
Heavy-Duty Webbing: Built to withstand abrasive environments, making it ideal for confined space, mountain, or urban rescue scenarios.
