Product Spotlight

As our country’s problem with obesity continues to rise so do the support services needed to take care of that growing segment of the population.

One of the new product lines Given The Ability, Inc.represents is a ambulance ramp system, for EMT, Medical Transport, etc..

In the United States alone, approximately 127 million adults in the U.S. are overweight, 60 million are obese and 9 million are morbidly obese. According to the American Ambulance Association, this has created a demand for transport from the homes of the patients to the hospital on a frequent basis.

Many ambulance companies, hospitals, & fire departments have seen an increase in injuries & accidents due to their workers due having to lift larger patients into the back of the ambulance. This has cost them untold millions of dollars in workers compensation claims as well as lost productivity.

The ramps themselves are made of durable, extruded aluminum tracks with an inside diameter of 6". There are no difficult to manipulate buttons or telescoping parts to get caught on. The simplicity of this system makes it so effective. There is no lifting of the gurney, which in many cases can pose the problem of it tipping over. Every aspect of this system makes it comfortable and safe for the patient and the EMS technicians.

This medical ramp system is comprised of; a pair of 1500 lb capacity channel track ramps with anti-slip tape and inherent wheel guide, a 12 volt 3000 lb capacity winch, a 1500 lb capacity block & tackle, a pair of cordura tow straps, and an MX-Pro 1600 lb capacity bariatric gurney. This system allows EMS workers to load a patient into the ambulance without having to lift, pull, or push at all. The winch and gurney do all the work and the patient is then not jostled by being lifted.
 
The four systems available vary in weight they carry. Systems start at 650 pounds and go up to 1500 pounds.
