LifeDefender: The Industry Standard in Emergency Vehicle Cabinets
When it comes to safety, LifeDefender Cabinets not only meet the industry standards—we helped to establish them. From the start, we worked with a select group of emergency vehicle and ambulance manufacturers to set the toughest safety standards and design products that deliver for our valued EMS customers.
Our industry-leading engineering team applied these rigorous safety standards in their development of the revolutionary LifeDefender™ Cabinet Security Frames. Using a smart yet simple design, an innovative locking mechanism increases safety and security in the event of an accident. The result is a crash-tested, cutting-edge product that meets *SAE, CAAS GVS, & NFPA safety standards and ensures the safety of personnel and patients at all times.
NEW! LifeDefender Lift N' Stow O2 Bottle Counterbalance System
At Austin Hardware, we’re all about making EMS workers’ jobs easier, safer, and more efficient. And with Austin Hardware’s patent-pending Lift N' Stow™ counterbalance system, EMTs will never have to strain to lift heavy oxygen bottles into an ambulance again.
A groundbreaking design requires no electricity for operation and delivers up to 27” of up-and-down travel. It’s incredibly versatile, with the ability to operate on both left and right-hand doors and can be quickly reconfigured for the different diameters and lift weights required by industry standard H-Steel, M-Steel, and M-Aluminum O2 bottles. The best part? It’s incredibly safe, having passed all industry crash testing requirements.
NEW! LifeDefender Snap N' Stow Bin Organizers

This system is revolutionizing storage aboard emergency response vehicles, making stocking and restocking patient items a snap. This high-tech system is designed to streamline organization of supplies, enhancing accessibility and ensuring the essential items are readily available to personnel when needed. As with all of our EMS solutions, the Snap N’ Stow™ adheres to our stringent safety standards—when locked onto the wall, the bins pass all crash test requirements.

Squad Bench Latch
The patent-pending Squad Bench Latch is a simple yet innovative solution that allows EMTs to complete their work more efficiently and increases security and safety aboard the vehicle. The Squad Bench Latch allows for simple one-handed operation, with the unlatching motion aligned with the lifting action. At the same time, the slam latch system easily holds the squad bench lid closed and prevents the hazard of the contents flying out in the event of a crash. We took it a step further with a handy installation drill that cuts down the whole process of installing to less than five minutes.
B-Lift
The B-Lift is a hydraulic bariatric power lift, specifically engineered to improve patient experience through two key ways. With smooth and easy operation, the B-Lift reduces the potential for trauma during loading. Second, the lift delivers better patient outcomes by saving time and expediting lift and transport.
This battery-powered lift promotes the well-being of the patient as well as those operating the lift, leading to fewer injuries for both parties.
Ceiling IV Hanger
The revolutionary Ceiling IV Hanger system by Austin Hardware addresses the two of the most pressing challenges faced by EMS personnel: time scarcity and maintaining safety while working in a moving vehicle. Historically, changing out an IV bag has created a critical moment of compromise for the EMT because most IV hangers require them to use two hands to thread the bag. Designed for one-handed operation, the patent-pending Ceiling IV Hanger system by Austin Hardware eliminates this safety hazard, enabling the EMT to engage the IV bag quickly and more safely.
