Did you know we do Bell stretcher servicing?

Since the 1st December 2007 Lyon Equipment Ltd has been the sole provider of servicing and load testing of the BELL range of mountain stretchers.

As the BELL mountain range is no longer being manufactured it is essential that teams gain the maximum service life from the ones that they have. Although incredibly strong, regular use for training and on call outs will cause wear. Some of the textile and mesh parts will ultimately become damaged and need replacement. Regular inspections and repairs (just like with any other piece of hardware), will help ensure that everything works smoothly when needed.

Two options are available. BELL Mountain stretcher general servicing which includes basic repairs and parts replacement, and BELL Mountain stretcher load testing where a thorough examination is carried out followed by application of a proof load.

Records of all service work and test certificates are supplied to customers with copies held by Lyon Equipment Ltd.

Mountain Rescue teams in England and Wales wishing to have work done should speak to the MRC equipment officer for approval before contacting Lyon Equipment Ltd and arranging delivery of their BELL Mountain stretchers.

Other organisations should contact Lyon directly on 01539 626251 to discuss their BELL stretcher servicing and load testing needs.
