As any paramedic or EMT knows, loading and unloading heavy oxygen bottles is hard work. It's also dangerous. In fact, according to a 2012 study from NAEMT, half of all EMS workers suffer back pain annually from handling such equipment. In addition, one in four EMS practitioners will suffer a career ending back injury within the first four years of service.

In an effort to address these safety issues and meet the forthcoming NFPA 1917 standards head on, Braun engineers spent much time designing the new E-Z 02 Lift. The result is an oxygen cylinder lift and storage compartment with a smaller footprint than traditional lift options, and no cumbersome electrical components.

The E-Z 02 Lift utilizes a nitrogen filled gas spring to raise and lower the bottle into a stowed position. The bottle is stored on the compartment door, optimizing the interior layout and creating maximum storage space for life-saving equipment. The spring lift also helps to reduce compartment damage by carefully moving and storing the oxygen cylinders in a controlled manner. The result is an innovation that helps you protect both your crew and your ambulance - a win-win for departments!
