Critical Function Model
The original design used a stair-stepping wheel that rotated as it engaged with each stair, allowing the system to climb step-by-step during evacuation.

Alpha Prototype
The final mechanism was built from aluminum extrusions, caster wheels, and a custom conveyor assembly produced through a combination of 3D printing and machining.
ENGINEERING FOR LIFE-SAVING EVACUATION
At Lockheed Martinez, we bridge the gap between mechanical complexity and operational efficiency. Our mission is to develop lightweight, single-operator mechanical solutions that empower EMS workers to evacuate individuals from high-risk environments with precision and speed.
Technical Specifications
Operational Load Capacity
Prototype demonstrates kinematics and mechanical feasibility; pending full load testing and validation to reach a 220 lbs target rating.
Deployment Mechanism
Utilizes a high-torque, low-profile mechanical linkage system that requires no external power source, maximizing EMS worker autonomy.
Material Composition
Built using modular 80/20 aluminum extrusions and high-strength polymers to ensure a versatile, durable, and cost-effective frame assembly.
Environmental Tolerance
Operates via 100% mechanical hardware to eliminate electrical failure risks, ensuring fail-safe reliability in critical emergency zones.
