PART Stretcher for docking

A simple build for a stretcher that can dock and undock from a vehicle. Then moved without the vehicle.

The rail seen shows the setup for receiving the stretcher

Interior space need to store

Width 5
Height 7
Length 11+


>>>

Workable as a push cart. Go inside the handle "horns" which is at the back. Grab each handle, one with E the other with Q. Look up a little as you run. To steer bump slightly into the opposite horn. To turn it left bump on the right and vice versa.

>>>

To dock:

= Lower the receiving rail

= Go to back of stretcher with the horns
= Hold the two handles with E and Q
= Push the stretcher forward and at angles to roughly line up

= Use the stretcher's track brake at the front

= Raise the receiving rail

= If a poor alignment lower and try again

= If holding up okay turn off the track brake, push stretcher forward and turn track brake back on

Medical features:
= Medical bed
= Defibrillator
= First aid kits
= Oxygen mask

Other features:
= Battery
= Light
= Front electrical connector*
= Stern cable connector*
= Fire extinguisher
= 2 rope anchors, one each side
= 2 ropes (one one side, 2nd on bottom)

* : One of these is needed to give more power to the battery

With a built in battery the defib will recharge when stored.

>>>

To stow on a vehicle options include:

= Docking with the electrical connector

= Tying down with ropes

= Winching up by one or more rope.
(With only one rope it will hang on its side. A cross bar with 2 rope anchors can act as an adapter)


>>>

Floats? No.
Tried a few tests and nothing quite practicable or without drowning the patient.

Update:

Added 2 more handles on the front. This is so if it does end up on its side you can grab the front and back for better restoration maneuvers.

Test rig adjust to fit in smaller spawn widths of rail yards. Test also now has a taller stand to show ability. Test rail is not closer to length of stretcher for copy paste.
