These comprehensive guides are designed to provide critical insights into maintaining your equipment, ensuring not only longevity but also continued operational efficiency.

Stryker® Power-LOAD™ Installation and Walkthrough

Kicking off our video series is an intricate installation and walkthrough guide for the Stryker® Power-LOAD™ system. Led by a Stryker® certified technician with over 25 years of experience with Rowland Emergency. With the Power-LOAD™ system often being an integral part of modern ambulances, its correct installation and maintenance are crucial for the safety and effectiveness of emergency operations.

In emergency situations, every component matters. Our second video in the series brings attention to the half shell bearings in the Stryker® Power Pro XT™ stretcher. This plays a pivotal role in the stretcher's overall performance. Failing to maintain it could run the risk of equipment malfunction, compromising both patient and responder safety.

Understanding the underlying reasons for specific maintenance actions equips you to make better decisions in both routine checks and unforeseen situations, reinforcing your ability to provide top-notch emergency care.
