PJ Sked® Rescue System w/ Cobra QR Buckles

A narrowed Sked® built for Air Force Pararescue — 28 in wide instead of the standard 36 in, which takes 8 in off the packed height on a rucksack and clears aircraft doors, building entries and narrow corridors. Ships as a complete system with Cobra quick-release buckles, backpack, slings and hardware. Made in the USA.

Eight inches off the packed height is the difference between a rescue system a PJ carries and one that stays on the aircraft.

SKEDCO's own copy states this configuration has not been formally USAARL-tested for hoisting, while also describing hoist use in the field. Treat hoisting authorisation as a unit and airframe decision, made against your own certification requirements — not as a product claim.

▾Who Carries It

Air Force Pararescue and SOF medical elements working aircraft doors, building entries and narrow corridors where the 36 in standard Sked® will not clear · Technical and confined-space rescue teams needing vertical extrication in a shaft, trench or void · Wilderness and mountain rescue packaging a patient for a long, rough carry-out.

Two limits worth naming. The narrowed 28 in stretcher trades patient width for clearance — confirm it suits your typical patient before it is standardised. And hoist operations are not certified by USAARL for this configuration; any hoisting use is governed by your unit's own airworthiness and rigging authority, not by this page.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How is the PJ Sked® different from the standard Sked® Basic Rescue System?

The PJ Sked® (SK-215C-GR) is 28 in. wide versus 36 in. for the standard SK-200, reducing packed rucksack height by 8 in. This narrower profile allows Air Force Pararescuemen and special operations personnel to pass through building doorways, helicopter doors, and confined spaces with the stretcher on their ruck without the clearance problems of the wider standard model. Both versions are functionally identical and share all accessories.

What are Cobra Quick Release Buckles and why do they matter?

Cobra QR (Quick Release) Buckles are high-strength, rapid-release buckles originally developed for special operations load-bearing equipment, known for combining exceptional strength with one-handed, glove-compatible release capability. On the PJ Sked®, they enable faster, safer patient packaging under stress — particularly important during helicopter hoisting operations or time-critical casualty extractions where seconds matter.

Can the PJ Sked® be used for helicopter hoisting?

The PJ Sked® has not been formally tested by USAARL (U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory) for hoisting. However, Air Force PJs actively use it in helicopter hoist operations, utilizing the included horizontal lift slings and vertical lift sling. Agencies requiring formal hoist certification should consult SKEDCO directly for current testing documentation.

Is the PJ Sked® compatible with standard SK-200 accessories?

Yes. All accessories designed for the standard Sked® SK-200 are compatible with the PJ Sked®, including the SK-605/606 CO2 Inflatable Float Logs, inflatable chest pad, and other water rescue accessories. This allows agencies that already own SK-200 accessories to equip the PJ Sked® without additional investment.

Does the PJ Sked® price include shipping?

Yes. The listed price for the PJ Sked® Rescue System (SK-215C-GR) includes standard freight shipping within CONUS (Continental United States). This reflects the item's oversized/bulky classification requiring freight shipping rather than standard parcel delivery.
