TacMed™ Stangenlose Trage

How heavy is the TacMed Poleless Litter?

The TacMed™ Poleless Litter weighs 2.5 lb and folds to 14 × 9 × 4 inches. This compact, lightweight profile makes it suitable for squad-level cache storage, vehicle staging, and individual carry during long patrols or rescue operations.

Why is the TacMed Poleless Litter made from mesh?

The high-strength mesh construction maximizes drainage during wet patient transport — particularly important for water rescue, decontamination operations, or environments with standing water. The mesh also minimizes the litter's packed weight while maintaining carrying strength. The midsection is additionally reinforced to extend product life under repeated loading.

What makes the handle design on the TacMed Poleless Litter different?

The oversized handle loops are designed to support two grip methods: direct wrist wrapping, which reduces grip fatigue during extended carries, and clip-in capability for rescue slings and carabiners. This allows the litter to be used in flat carry, incline carry, and mechanical advantage haul or aerial extraction configurations without any modification.

What dimensions does the TacMed Poleless Litter open to?

When fully deployed, the TacMed Poleless Litter opens to 72 × 26 inches — sufficient to support a full-size adult casualty in a standard litter carry position. The 26-inch width provides adequate shoulder support while remaining narrow enough to navigate hallways, vehicle doorways, and other restricted passages.

Is the TacMed Poleless Litter reinforced for durability?

Yes. The midsection of the TacMed Poleless Litter is specifically reinforced to increase product life beyond what standard poleless litters achieve. This reinforcement targets the highest-stress zone of the litter — the center where maximum patient weight concentration occurs during carries — reducing the risk of tearing during high-frequency training cycles or extended field use.

What are the carrying dimensions of the TacMed Poleless Litter?

Folded, the TacMed™ Poleless Litter measures 14 inches × 9 inches × 4 inches — compact enough to stow alongside medical supplies in an aid bag or vehicle storage. Open, the litter extends to 72 inches × 26 inches, providing a full-length patient surface from head to foot for average-adult casualties.

How many people are needed to carry the Poleless Litter?

The TacMed™ Poleless Litter can be carried by two to four personnel using its oversized handle loops, which support wrist-wrap grip for extended carries or attachment to slings. The handle loops are positioned at both ends and along the sides, allowing carry configurations from a standard two-person lift to a four-person carry over rough terrain.

What is the weight capacity of the Poleless Litter?

The weight capacity of the TacMed™ Poleless Litter (SKU MEDTAC0401) supports typical adult casualty weights. The reinforced midsection provides extended durability under loaded carry. For exact rated capacity confirmation contact Tactical Medical Solutions directly; the litter's high-strength mesh construction is designed for the rigors of tactical casualty extraction.

How does the reinforced midsection improve the Poleless Litter?

The midsection of the TacMed™ Poleless Litter is reinforced to resist concentrated load stress at the patient's center of gravity — the heaviest point during carry. This reinforcement extends the litter's service life under repeated field use and prevents the mesh from developing weak points at the location most vulnerable to deformation under casualty weight.
