What's the safe working load of the Retmex?

Answer: The safe working load of the Retmex Comfort is 250 kg. There is also a wider version available that can be loaded up to 385 kg. This is the Bariatric Retmex.

Why are the yellow strap on the lying side of the rescue sheet?

Answer: There’s always a chance that you need to use the Retmex by yourself if there’s no one around to assist you. If that’s the case, you will need to slide the victim instead of lifting. This can occur in critical emergencies. Therefore, we’ve decided to place the yellow straps on the lying side. If the straps would have been on the outside, this would have created an obstacle for sliding.
