Dow Jones Description
VW Company Limited designs and manufactures stretcher trolleys that meet the needs and requirements of all their users. In 2003, we identified the need for a fully CEN compliant stretcher trolley within the UK. After considerable market research, it was agreed to design an all-new stretcher trolley, taking into account the requirements of all the relevant CEN & BSI standards, and the desires of the users. As part of the design brief, the ability to manoeuvre within confined spaces and passenger lifts was included, such that the stretcher trolley could be converted to wheelchair format. A single piece ambulance fixing kit was a pre-requisite; however the greatest design challenge proved to be meeting the maximum stretcher trolley weight parameter of 45kg, exclusive of mattress and belts. A completely new stretcher trolley design was developed, known as the MedAssist that utilises a fulcrum, as opposed to a scissor-lift arrangement; thereby allowing for a much shorter wheelbase, facilitating the wheelchair configuration and meeting all relevant standards and user requirements. We intend to continue to expand our product range with the Universal MedAssist stretcher trolley, a universal locking device and other improved medical equipment products. VW Company Limited founded in 1919, is wholly owned by the Newship Group, a long established privately owned British manufacturing group with assets of over 30 million and diverse interests both in the UK and Europe.
