Which GIMA spinal board models are listed?

GIMA identifies the standard board as article 56040, the Plus model as 56044, and the pediatric model as 56047. The first two titles explicitly include “with safety pins”; the pediatric title identifies its model class. All three are orange, so colour cannot distinguish them. Keep the article number attached to the complete GIMA title on requisitions and quotations.

The article name, material and specifications make a much more useful comparison than “orange board.” The Plus designation belongs to article 56044; its published construction and load figures are the relevant distinctions. The pediatric dimensions and load are separately specified for 56047. Do not transfer a measurement or load figure between articles because two boards share a colour or product family.

How do dimensions, weight and maximum load compare?

The standard 56040 measures 184 × 45 × 6 cm, weighs 8 kg and has a stated maximum load of 181 kg. The Plus 56044 measures 185 × 46 × 5 cm, weighs 7 kg and lists a 227 kg maximum load. The pediatric 56047 is 136 × 35 × 5 cm, weighs 4.5 kg and lists a 91 kg maximum load. These specifications are manufacturer-published values for the named articles, not a general rating for every GIMA board.

For procurement review, compare the length, width and thickness with storage spaces, stretcher dimensions and the receiving facility’s written requirements. Include the maximum-load figure as a separately checked requirement; do not use the product name or a photograph as evidence for capacity. If a facility has a procurement threshold or transport-system limit, state it with the exact GIMA article so the quotation can be checked against the intended model.

Weight may also matter when a team needs to move or store the board, but the published mass does not establish suitability for a particular workflow. Use the values above to shortlist by physical specification, then verify the exact offered article and package. If the technical document attached to a quote differs from the product page, ask Franance to reconcile the model code and current manufacturer documentation before approval.

What material and construction are stated for each model?

GIMA describes the 56040 and 56047 boards as made from HDPE. Its 56044 page describes HDPE construction with two bamboo battens inside to strengthen the stretcher. That difference is specific to the Plus model. The source does not support treating all three boards as having the same internal construction, even though the boards are visually related and share the orange finish.

The 56040 and 56047 pages also state that the board can float on water. If that feature is part of the purchasing specification, retain the exact article and ask for the current data sheet with the quotation. The published statement should not be expanded into an environmental rating or an assurance about any particular operating condition. For the Plus model, compare the stated battens and load figure against the procurement requirement rather than assuming the 56040 description applies.

GIMA’s product pages provide data sheets, operator manuals, catalogue pages and conformity-related documents for the boards. Request the documentation for the exact article under consideration. A generic family image or a neighboring model’s manual does not establish that a particular accessory or construction detail belongs to the offered item.

Which restraint components are included or named?

The 56040 and pediatric 56047 pages say that safety belts are supplied and that the boards can be used together with spider straps and a head immobilizer. That wording identifies the supplied belts separately from the named compatible accessories. It does not say that spider straps or a head immobilizer are included in the product package. If either accessory is required, ask the quotation to state whether it is included or separately priced.

Article 56044 is titled “with safety pins,” and its page names use with a head immobilizer. The product-page detail reviewed for this listing does not provide the same belt-supply sentence as the standard and pediatric descriptions. A buyer who needs a belt or a particular restraint set should therefore have the 56044 package description confirmed against its current data sheet rather than assume it matches 56040.

For a clear comparison, separate the board itself, supplied safety belts, additional spider straps and head immobilizer into distinct lines or fields. Preserve article numbers and exact manufacturer wording. This lets a reviewer see what GIMA states for the model and what the facility still needs included in its order.

How should a board be checked against a stretcher or storage space?

Compatibility should be checked between two identified products. Compare the published board dimensions with the intended stretcher, rack or storage location, and identify any required straps or fixation points by their own article or model. The fact that both items are categorized as emergency transport products does not establish that their fittings match. Ask for a manufacturer document or a written compatibility confirmation when the combination matters to the purchase.

The length and width values provide a starting point for that comparison: 56040 is 184 × 45 cm, 56044 is 185 × 46 cm, and 56047 is 136 × 35 cm. The published thickness is 6 cm, 5 cm and 5 cm respectively. Record whether a measurement refers to the open board and keep the unit visible. Do not infer a fitting pattern or clearance from dimensions alone; the page must identify it or the supplier must confirm it.

If the board will be stored in an existing vehicle or equipment bay, provide the available dimensions and required clearances in the enquiry. Franance can request that the proposed model be identified in the written response. This creates an auditable specification comparison without claiming universal compatibility with a particular vehicle or stretcher.

What documentation should accompany a procurement review?

GIMA provides model-specific data sheets and operator manuals through its product pages, along with catalogue and declaration documents. Ask for the document set for 56040, 56044 or 56047 by article number. The document should identify the same model code and current product name that appear on the quotation. This is particularly important for 56044, because its Plus title and internal battens distinguish it from the standard board.

Compare each document against the criteria that matter to the order: board dimensions, weight, stated maximum load, material, included belts and any requested accessories. Keep manufacturer values separate from local requirements such as storage size or a receiving standard. If a requested value is absent, record it as awaiting confirmation instead of copying a number from another article.

The manufacturer’s pages identify the boards as medical devices and make manuals and product documents available. Ask Franance to include the relevant documents or links with the quotation so the purchasing reviewer can match the offer to the selected article. Product documentation supports a model comparison; it does not by itself establish present Nigerian availability or commercial terms.

How do I request a Franance spinal-board quote in Nigeria?

List one GIMA article per line: 56040, 56044 or 56047. Include its full model name, required quantity and delivery destination in Nigeria. Then list any specific package questions, such as whether the supplied belts are part of the quoted 56040 or 56047 unit, whether a head immobilizer or spider straps are separately available, and which current manufacturer data sheet identifies the offered model.

For 56044, retain “Plus” in the description and ask the quotation to identify the HDPE-and-batten construction and 227 kg maximum load shown in the product literature. For 56047, retain the pediatric designation and compare its 136 × 35 × 5 cm dimensions and 91 kg maximum load with the buyer’s written requirement. For 56040, use the 184 × 45 × 6 cm dimensions and 181 kg maximum load. This model-specific checklist keeps the three references from collapsing into a generic board request.

Franance can return the proposed product identity, quantity, package details and commercial terms in writing for review. Submit the request through the Franance quote cart, and compare the response with the GIMA spinal-board category and the GIMA catalogue. Confirm price, availability and delivery in the response for the actual Nigerian destination.

How should a team reorder or compare an alternative?

Retain the exact GIMA article and product title in the purchasing record. A repeat order for 56040 should remain separate from 56044 or 56047 even if the same colour appears in the catalogue. Preserve the model-specific dimensions, weight, maximum load, material and restraint details that informed the original decision, and review them against the new quotation rather than copying a general family description.

If a supplier proposes an alternative, request its manufacturer, exact model, published dimensions, stated maximum load, construction and package details. Compare those facts with the selected GIMA article and obtain the required internal review before substituting. A similarity in colour or the broad term “spinal board” does not show that two models share dimensions, fittings or ratings.

At receipt, compare the label and accompanying product documents with the approved quotation. Check the article number, model name, accessories and unit count. Keep the documentation tied to the model so later buyers can repeat the comparison without relying on memory or a catalogue image. This is a practical purchasing record and does not add a specification that GIMA has not published.
