    Pelican’s has been manufacturing Evacuation Fire & Rescue Equipment for since the early 1990s. We have a lot of practical experience in product design and ergonomic, so ensure people can be evacuated quickly, and safely.

    Understanding the Importance of Emergency Patient Evacuation Equipment

    In a fire, power failure, or other emergency, swift and secure patient evacuation can save lives. Pelican’s line of ResQ products is designed for real-world emergencies, helping caregivers transfer non-ambulatory patients quickly and safely.

    Our range includes fire evacuation drag mats, stretchers, chair straps, and slide boards — each designed to be compact, accessible, and easy to operate. We carefully engineer every product to minimize friction while allowing patients to be evacuated with minimal strain to caregivers.

    For example, the ResQsheet is stored discreetly under mattresses and can be deployed instantly. It enables staff to move patients directly on the mattress, which is especially useful in emergencies when time is critical. Our ResQmat and ResQpod options offer additional comfort and support, even for bariatric patients.

    Every Pelican patient evacuation equipment solution is developed with safety, speed, and simplicity in mind — ensuring no one is left behind during a crisis.
