The ATLAS (Aircraft Transfer Lift and Assistance System) is iAERO’s proprietary powered stretcher loader solution, engineered to redefine safety, speed, and efficiency in air ambulance and medevac operations. Purpose-built for the realities of mission-critical patient transport, ATLAS provides controlled, powered movement that reduces physical strain on medical crews and maintains a smooth, stable loading experience for patients. Designed for effortless transfer in both fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, ATLAS enables consistent, powered loading and unloading while minimizing crew effort, mitigating injury risk, and significantly reducing aircraft turnaround times.
Engineered for Mission-Ready Performance
Developed with aerospace-grade construction, precise mechanical control, and intuitive operator functionality, ATLAS delivers dependable performance in the demanding, time-sensitive environments faced by medevac and rescue teams. Its lightweight, modular, and fully self-powered architecture allows for rapid installation, seamless aircraft integration, and reliable operation regardless of mission tempo or terrain. From remote field extractions to high-frequency urban EMS operations, ATLAS maintains the consistency, durability, and ease of use required by frontline medical teams.
Features & Capabilities:
- Versatile Platform Integration: Compatible with a broad range of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft including PC-12, King Air, Falcon, AW139, S-76, AS350/355, and additional platforms requiring adaptable stretcher-loading capability.
- Fully Battery Powered: Operates independently of external or onboard power sources, ensuring unrestricted use during field missions, remote landings, or hangar operations.
- Readily Available Battery Packs: Utilizes standard, off-the-shelf batteries—identical to those used in common handheld power tools—for easy replacement, global availability, and reduced operational downtime.
- Standardized Interface Provisions: Designed around uniform mounting and installation interfaces, supporting rapid configuration and cross-platform compatibility.
