The TURK
The TURK helps prevent back injuries on the fireground by doing the heavy lifting, reducing the risk of strain-related injuries among first responders. With just one person needed to transport all essential equipment to the scene, it frees up manpower and cuts prep time by 50%, ensuring a faster, more efficient response. Click below to learn more.
The Bedford County Department of Fire & Rescue recently purchased a TURK RIT cart for each of our three RIT companies and our firefighters couldn’t be more pleased with its performance and stow-ability. The TURK is the answer to the problem that many RIT companies face when forced to walk their RIT basket in from long distances which normally requires four firefighters. It’s unique design allows one firefighter to easily deploy the TURK, load a stokes basket though the cart, and move it an extended distance with ease. Greg Turnell’s experience in the fire service and the obstacles we face in day to day RIT/Rescue operations is evident in the TURK’s ingenious design.

The TURK is a well-designed, unique tool that is very beneficial when operating as a RIT company. It enables one man, instead of four, to transport a stokes basket with tools. Many times, our apparatus must park blocks away as a RIT company and the TURK cart has made it much easier to get into service. Also, the versatility of its compatibility with backboards and ladders increases its potential.

On June 2, 2009, Rescue 2 responded to the worst METRO accident in the systems history. Nine people lost their lives, and countless others were trapped in the wreckage. Rescue 2 was the first arriving Rescue Company and had to carry equipment down the track bed approx. 1000 feet to the point of impact. When we arrived on the scene, Truck Co. 6 pulled up behind us and they were using the "TURK Cart". The technician from T6 and myself were able to place a metal stokes along with a wide variety of extrication into the cart and move down the track bed with just the two of us. This would have easily taken 8 to 10 people to move the equipment that we did and it started the extrication process much quicker.
