FERNO Model 28 FERNO-Flex™ Roll-In Chair Cot
The FERNO Model 28 FERNO-Flex™ Roll-In Chair Cot is a heavy-duty patient transport solution designed to quickly convert between cot and chair positions for easier movement through narrow hallways, elevators, stairways, and other confined spaces. Its versatile design helps EMS teams transport patients safely without needing to transfer them to another carrying device.
Built with all-metal frame construction, the Model 28 provides strength, durability, and reliable performance for demanding patient handling environments. The single-release mechanism allows the cot to change into one of five locked positions, while the compact chair position makes it highly maneuverable in restricted areas.
Weighing only 30 kg, the Model 28 is one of the lightest roll-in style chair cots available, while still supporting a load limit of 295 kg. Its adjustable backrest, automatic leg locking, swing-down sidearms, loading wheels, and restraint options support safer, more flexible patient movement in ambulance and healthcare transport applications.
