Spencer stretchers are also distinguished by their MBC backrest mechanical regulation system, a real milestone in the technique of blocking systems. A system that guarantees trustworthiness and durability for millions of manoeuvres without having to use any kind of lever and above all allows raising of the backrest even laterally. To reset the level or select intermediate positions you use just one hand to activate the ergonomic handle, placed in a distal position, easily found and at the same time, sustaining the weight.

A clever and unprecedented mechanical system, that interacts with a rack made from the top of the patient surface mould. It assures the use of the anti-shock system in one swift movement, without the need to use compound levers. To reset the level or select intermediate positions you must modify the position of an easily identified lateral lever.

• Position of the head inclination between 0 and 75 °
• Position of the anti-shock and Trendelenburg positions between 0 and 10 °
• Position of the comfort or Fowler position between 0 and 45 °

Spencer has developed a new concept of suspension; the SCS system (Spencer Compliance Suspension), that represents an important step forward in the field of passive suspension construction. SCS differentiates itself from the traditional approach by the way in which it generates movement of the suspension under load. In fact, it uses a simple arm with particular properties of rigidity which allow the arm itself to guarantee its traditional structural role and also to make an important contribution to the movement of the suspension when under load. No matter what the kind of surface, the special curved shaping of the legs modify immediately the softening effect of each wheel. The result of this integration of functions is a system that can guarantee a high level of comfort and safety without the complexities and high costs normally associated with an equivalent performance. Among the improved characteristics, the most significant is the lengthwise flexibility of the suspension, which is fundamental in the creation of high levels of comfort.

If necessary the Carrera Activ can be shortened to guarantee good manageability in limited spaces or small lifts. The trolley system at the front can rotate upwards (automatic blocking system), acting hence as a bumper to protect the patient from bumps when the stretcher hits a wall, or moves downwards.
