Vehicle Safety Hook Selection
The vehicle safety hook is a device that ships with the cot. The cot safety bar and vehicle safety hook are designed
to keep the cot from being accidentally removed from the vehicle and to provide increased operator assurance and
confidence when loading and unloading. The safety hook was designed for compatibility and proper operation when
loading and unloading the cot from a vehicle that is compliant with Federal Regulation KKK-A-1822.
Stryker offers three different types of safety hooks that are ordered and shipped with your cot. These safety hook
types are designed to meet the needs of various emergency vehicle configurations, specifically the length and location
of the floor structure support that is located in the rear of the vehicle.
Consider the following information when selecting
which safety hook is appropriate for your vehicle
configuration:
• Determine the location of the floor structure
support where there is adequate room to mount
the safety hook.
• Ensure that the safety hook can be securely
mounted into the back of the vehicle while
providing adequate bumper clearance to allow the
cot to be loaded and unloaded from the vehicle.
• Note the differences in vehicle design. Each safety
hook provides a different mounting location option
to maintain the appropriate distance between the
face of the safety hook and the edge of the door
sill.
Due to the differences in vehicle dimensions and the
floor structure support locations, each safety hook
requires a different mounting location. See “Vehicle
Safety Hook Installation” to determine the correct
positioning for safety hook installation.
Note:
When replacing an existing safety hook with a new style, adjust the mounting location to maintain the proper
position of the safety hook face.
