We are currently in the market for new Ambulance gurneys. We are looking for any advise from anyone who has used either Strykers or Fernos. San Ramon, Ca. We researched and demo'd 3 different units from Stryker and chose the EZ pro 2. After being the person that had to maintain the cots for years, I love the Strykers.
Maintenance is almost nonexistant.
Stryker has found that there were 2 pieces to our cots that were not manufacutued properly causing problems and one mechinism that needed redesign. They came out and made all the changes quickly without charge. That was a pain in the ass and expensive. Fernos design of holding things together with roll pins was poor. Ferno does appear to have a new cot on the market that is a much better design and is made better, but I have not tried it.
