🚨 Not Just Another Option — A Better Way Forward for EMS 🚨

At Ferno, we’re committed to helping EMS agencies evolve — not just with new gear, but with smarter, safer, and more future-ready solutions.

With innovations like the Power X2 Cot, Power F2 Fastener, and Powered Transcend Stair Chair, we're not here to blend in — we’re here to stand out.

🔥 Power X2 Cot
A rugged, powered cot designed to reduce provider fatigue and streamline patient care — all with a maximum capacity (700 lb unassisted, 1100 lb in retracted position), intuitive controls, and unmatched mobility in tight spaces.

⚡ Power F2 Fastener
The industry's first powered fastener system featuring PowerDrive™ — a motorized carriage that smoothly loads and unloads the cot with minimal provider effort. With CrossLock™ compatibility** and SceneBright™ 360° LED lighting, it enhances safety, reduces lifting strain, and brings cutting-edge power to the back of the rig.

🪜 Powered Transcend Stair Chair
From steep lakeside terrain to tight residential stairwells, the powered Transcend gives crews the confidence and control they need to move patients safely — wherever the call takes them.

This isn’t about just replacing what you have. It’s about advancing your service, protecting your crew, and preparing for tomorrow’s challenges — today.

🔧 Smarter tools.
🚑 Safer transport.
📈 A stronger future.

I had the pleasure of demoing our Powered Transcend Stair Chair with Steuben County Emergency Services last week! 🚑⚡️

This hands-on demo gave us the perfect chance to test the chair’s capability on real-world terrain—including navigating these steep, uneven, multi-level stairs tucked into the hillside along Keuka Lake. The terrain truly highlighted how valuable a powered stair chair can be for EMS crews responding in challenging environments where every step matters for patient and provider safety.

Big thanks to the team for the warm welcome and for putting the Transcend to the test!
