Stryker 6550 Power-Pro TL Ambulance Stretcher with Compatible Battery & Charger
Stryker 6550 Power-PRO TL Electric Ambulance Stretcher, Pre-Owned, with Compatible Battery, Charger, Mattress and Restraint Straps
The Stryker 6550 Power-PRO TL is an electrically operated ambulance stretcher built to take the manual lift out of patient loading and unloading. Battery driven hydraulics raise and lower the litter under control, which removes the repeated heavy lifting that drives cumulative back injury in ambulance crews. Rated capacity is 318 kg. Retractable head and foot sections shorten the cot for storage and confined spaces, the pneumatic backrest adjusts across a 0 to 73 degree range, and foot end controls keep operation within reach during a transfer. This unit is pre-owned and is supplied with a compatible battery, a compatible charger, a mattress and restraint straps.

Mandatory before any use with a patient
- This stretcher is lifting equipment used to lift persons. In Great Britain it falls under LOLER 1998 and requires a thorough examination by a competent person at least every six months, with a current report of thorough examination held before the equipment enters service.
- A qualified service engineer must inspect, function test and load test the unit before it carries a patient, covering the hydraulic lift, the manual override, the wheel locks, the side rails, the backrest cylinder and the retractable head and foot sections.
- Operators must be trained on this cot and on the fastening system fitted to the vehicle before use on the road.
- The 318 kg rating applies to the stretcher in serviceable condition. Any lower limit set by the vehicle fastener, the loading system or the crew's safe system of work takes precedence.
- Inspect the restraint straps and mattress cover before service. Webbing that is frayed, a buckle that does not latch cleanly, or a cover with rips or tears should be renewed before the cot is used.
Compatible battery and charger, not original manufacturer parts
The battery and charger supplied with this unit are third party compatible items rather than original parts. They are pre-owned, so usable capacity and the number of lift cycles available from a full charge cannot be stated and must be assessed by the commissioning engineer. Where a service pattern depends on guaranteed runtime, an original battery should be fitted and a second pack held on rotation. Charge only with a charger rated for the battery in use, and do not mix charging hardware across different battery types.

Routine care guidance
| Component | Action | Interval |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | Check charge state, return to charge after use, inspect contacts for corrosion | Every shift |
| Wheel locks and castors | Check locks hold, clear debris and thread from the castor spindles | Every shift |
| Restraints | Check webbing for fraying and confirm every buckle latches and releases cleanly | Every shift |
| Lift and backrest | Cycle through full travel, confirm the backrest cylinder holds and the manual override operates | Weekly |
| Mattress | Decontaminate per local policy, inspect the cover for rips and seam failure | After each patient |
| Frame and fixings | Inspect for cracks, deformation, loose fasteners and hydraulic leaks | Monthly |
| Thorough examination | Formal examination by a competent person under LOLER 1998 | At least every six months |
The above is general guidance. The manufacturer instructions for use and the operating service's own decontamination and maintenance policy take precedence. Any unit showing a fault should be taken out of service until it has been repaired and re-tested.
