PRODUCT INFORMATION

SKEDCO · High-Visibility Rescue Stretcher

Sked® Basic Rescue System - International Orange

The high-visibility version of the Sked® flexible stretcher, in the International Orange used worldwide on life jackets, SAR aircraft and maritime safety equipment. Functionally identical to the standard system: flat it rolls into a Cordura backpack, wrapped around a packaged patient it rigidizes and slides through doorways, shafts and rubble where a rigid basket jams. Made in the USA.

SK-200-OR · Made in USARolls into a backpackHorizontal and vertical hoistConfined space and SAR

A rigid basket needs a clear path and a full team. A Sked® needs a doorway and two rescuers — which is closer to what a confined space actually gives you.

Kit Contents by Configuration

Two buckle configurations of the same complete system. The Orange stretcher, backpack, slings, tow strap, handles and carabiner are identical in both; only the securing-strap hardware changes. Tap a configuration.

▾Who Carries It

Civilian search and rescue and coast guard units, where International Orange is the recognized visual identifier for rescue equipment · Mountain, cave and swiftwater rescue teams using the vertical lift sling for single-rope extraction · Fire and rescue on structural collapse, mine and tunnel incidents where a rigid basket cannot maneuver · Maritime and disaster-response agencies operating in multi-agency environments where the color tells everyone whose system is deployed · Industrial confined-space entry programs in petroleum, chemical and utility work.

Formal confined-space, packaging and rigging training belongs ahead of operational use; high-angle, vertical and helicopter operations require rigging competency in particular. Maintain spinal precautions as clinically indicated — a Sked® packages and moves a patient, it does not immobilize a spine on its own.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is International Orange the preferred color for SAR Sked® systems?

International Orange (also known as SAR Orange or Safety Orange) is the globally standardized high-visibility color for search-and-rescue operations, used on life jackets, rescue aircraft, SAR equipment, and maritime safety gear. In open-water rescues, wilderness SAR, or disaster environments, an orange Sked® is immediately identifiable from a distance — both for responders locating the equipment and for aerial observers spotting packaged patients during helicopter operations.

Is the Orange Sked® functionally different from the Green version?

No. The International Orange Sked® (SK-200-OR) is functionally identical to the standard Green Sked® (SK-200). The same stretcher body dimensions, flexible plastic construction, rigidization properties, and complete accessory set are included. The only difference is the orange color of the SK-201-OR stretcher body versus the green SK-201 in the standard system.

Can the Orange Sked® be used for helicopter hoisting?

Yes. Like all SK-200 variants, the International Orange Sked® is equipped for horizontal hoisting by helicopter using the included SK-203 Horizontal Lift Slings and vertical hoisting in confined spaces using the SK-207 Vertical Lift Sling. The high-visibility orange color can actually improve aerial crew identification of the patient package during hoisting operations.

Is the Orange Sked® compatible with the SKEDCO Rapid Deployment System?

Yes. The SK-200-OR Orange stretcher is the base stretcher included in the SK-650 Rapid Deployment Water Rescue System, which adds CO2 inflatable float logs, inflatable chest pad, ballast weight, extra-long handles, and a rapid deployment carrying case for emergency deployment into water in under 30 seconds. The Rapid Deployment Conversion Kit is also available for those who already own a Sked® Basic Rescue System.

Does the price include shipping?

Yes. The listed price for the Sked® Basic Rescue System International Orange includes bulky item freight shipping within CONUS (Continental United States). The Sked® system qualifies as a bulky shipping item and is shipped via freight carrier rather than standard parcel service.
