Moovie emergency stretcher with motorized fifth wheel
Moovie is a motorized emergency stretcher by Intelligent Care (Incare) that lets a single healthcare worker push and steer patients with less physical strain, even in limited space.
What is the Moovie motorized emergency stretcher?
Moovie is a motorized emergency stretcher built on a 2-section hydraulic stretcher with adjustable height, equipped with a power assisted transportation system so that one healthcare worker can move patients safely and without physical strain.
A sturdy steel frame is mounted on four swiveling, antistatic wheels, and the lifting system is powered by two round hydraulic columns. The design goal is twofold: maximum comfort for the patient, and less physical effort for the professionals who push the stretcher many times every shift.
Intelligent Care (Incare) is part of Stretchers Industries OOD, a manufacturer based in Sofia, Bulgaria, that serves healthcare providers across Europe and beyond. Moovie belongs to the power assisted product line, together with the Lotus delivery bed, the STR MK 10 bariatric bed and the Handbike.
Technical data of the motorized emergency stretcher

- 192 x 72 cm
- Height adjustment
- 58–90 cm two round hydraulic columns
- Castors
- 20 cm four swiveling, antistatic wheels
- Motorized wheel
- 17 cm retractable fifth wheel on a damper device
- Safe working load
- 250 kg
- Oxygen tank storage
- up to 7 l in the base frame cover
- Push force reduction
- up to 50% start-up push and steering
How does the motorized fifth wheel work?
A motorized wheel under the center of the frame drives the stretcher, while the operator only guides it from the handles. This reduces start-up push force and steering effort by up to 50%.
- Motorized retractable fifth wheel. Installed on a damper device under the frame, it provides traction in addition to the four castors.
- Two operating handles. They integrate an electric brake and the change of direction, so the stretcher can be moved forward and backward.
- Speed limit switch. It keeps the speed under control in corridors, lifts and crowded areas.
- Smooth, effortless movement. Start-up and steering forces drop by up to 50%, even in limited space.
On a stretcher that rolls only on four swivel castors, the whole load has to be started, stopped and turned by the arms and back of the person pushing. A central driven wheel takes over most of that work and gives the stretcher a stable point to turn around.

Who is Moovie for and where is it used?
A motorized emergency stretcher such as Moovie is for hospitals and care facilities that move patients on stretchers every day and want to reduce the physical load on their staff.
Emergency and admission areas
Where patients arrive, are examined and are moved on quickly, a hydraulic stretcher that a single worker can push saves time and effort.
Transfers between departments
Long corridors, ramps, cables and thresholds are easier to handle when a motorized wheel provides the traction.
Tight spaces
The power assisted system is designed to steer the stretcher precisely even in limited space, such as lifts and narrow rooms.
Pushing and pulling heavy loads is a recognized cause of strain for healthcare workers; see the EU-OSHA guidance on work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

Frequently asked questions about Moovie
What is the safe working load of Moovie?
In its standard configuration Moovie has a safe working load of 250 kg, on a patient surface of 192 x 72 cm.
Can one person move the stretcher alone?
Yes. The power assisted transportation system, with its motorized retractable fifth wheel, two operating handles and a speed limit switch, is designed so that a single healthcare worker can push and steer the stretcher, even in limited space.
How is the height of the stretcher adjusted?
Height is adjusted hydraulically by two round columns, from 58 cm to 90 cm, using foot pedals on the side. The same pedals control the mattress platform, Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg.
Can Moovie carry an oxygen tank?
Yes. The plastic cover of the base frame includes a space for an oxygen tank of up to 7 liters, as well as a glove compartment for clothing.
Can the stretcher be customized?
Yes. Moovie is highly configurable in size and accessories. Contact Incare with your requirements and the team will define the configuration with you.
