German HEMS Provider To Adopt Stretcher Loading System
Move will make DRF Luftrettung the first in Europe to use the Powered Aero Loader
HeliMods Powered Aero Loader for stretchers
DRF Luftrettung, one of Europe's largest HEMS providers, is currently testing the HeliMods stretcher loading system on its H145 helicopters. The company just signed a letter of intent to become the European sales distributor for the Powered Aero Loader.

Germany-based HEMS operator DRF Luftrettung will install the HeliMods Powered Aero Loader (PAL) on its fleet of H145 medevac helicopters. Last year, with cooperation from HeliMods, DRF acquired the EASA STC for the PAL.

The electro-hydraulic system allows the rapid loading and unloading of ambulance stretchers into the aircraft with just the push of a button. It is currently being tested at DRF’s bases in Stuttgart and Regensburg.
