Teton commissioners OK $68,144 power-load gurney system for new ambulance
On March 3, Teton County commissioners approved a $68,144 sole-source purchase from Stryker for a Power Pro 2 gurney and MTS Power Loader to equip a new FY26-capital-budgeted ambulance.
Teton County’s Board of County Commissioners approved buying a powered gurney-and-loader system from Stryker Sales LLC for a new ambulance already funded in the FY26 capital budget.
The $68,144 purchase covers a Stryker Power Pro 2 gurney ($35,177) and an MTS Power Loader ($32,967). Fire/EMS staff told commissioners the hydraulic system can lift patients up to 700 pounds at the push of a button, reducing lifting injuries for responders and improving patient safety.
The county treated the purchase as sole-source because it matches equipment already used by Jackson Hole Fire/EMS and the Teton County Coroner’s Office; staff said standardizing the make and model helps responders operate and troubleshoot the devices during emergencies and meets crash-test standards for securing the gurney to the ambulance.
Details and quotes are in the March 3 staff report packet: Purchase of Stryker Power Gurney System.
