Does the QuikLitter™ LITE fit in a cargo pocket?
Yes. The QuikLitter™ LITE is vacuum-packed to L 7 in. × W 6 in. × D 1.75 in. — specifically engineered to fit in a standard military or tactical cargo pocket. This makes individual carry of a full-sized litter practical for soldiers, law enforcement officers, paramedics, and first responders without consuming meaningful pack space.
What is the load rating of the QuikLitter™ LITE?
The QuikLitter™ LITE is rated to 750 lb — 50% higher than the Standard QuikLitter™'s 500 lb rating, despite being smaller and lighter. This rating is achieved through its heavy-duty nylon construction with reinforced nylon webbing handles, providing exceptional strength-to-weight performance.
What is the open litter size of the QuikLitter™ LITE?
When deployed, the QuikLitter™ LITE opens to L 74 in. × W 27 in., providing a nearly full-sized litter surface comparable to standard carry litters. This full-size deployment from a cargo-pocket package is the defining capability that makes the QuikLitter™ LITE unique in its class.
How does the QuikLitter™ LITE compare to the standard QuikLitter™?
The QuikLitter™ LITE is lighter (12 oz vs. Standard's weight), packs smaller (cargo-pocket size vs. flat-pack), is made from heavy-duty nylon (vs. Standard's woven polyethylene), and carries more weight (750 lb vs. 500 lb). The Standard QuikLitter™ is wider and available in an XL version rated to 1,000 lb. The LITE prioritizes individual carry; the Standard and XL prioritize staging and mass-deployment.
Is the QuikLitter™ LITE included in other NAR kit products?
Yes. The NAR QuikLitter™ LITE is included as standard equipment in all configurations of the NAR Mini-Medic Bag Kit — Basic, Basic w/Combat Gauze, and Advanced. This integration reflects NAR's design philosophy that a complete point-of-wounding treatment kit should include the means to move the casualty after treatment, not just treat in place.
Is the QuickLitter LITE suitable for TCCC-compliant patient movement?
QuickLitter LITE supports the patient movement phase of TCCC — moving a casualty from point of injury to a covered position or collection point. It does not replace a purpose-built rigid litter for MEDEVAC but meets the immediate-movement requirement of care under fire and tactical field care phases.
What is the weight limit for the QuickLitter LITE?
The QuickLitter LITE is rated for lighter patient loads than the full QuickLitter. Refer to the North American Rescue product data sheet for the specific weight capacity. For patients above that threshold, upgrade to the standard QuickLitter or a rigid pole litter.
Does the QuickLitter LITE attach to MOLLE/PALS?
The LITE is designed to pack compactly into a carry pouch. MOLLE compatibility depends on the specific pouch and carrier platform. Check the packed dimensions and loop configuration against your vest or bag system.
What is the NSN for the QuickLitter LITE?
Consult North American Rescue's current NSN catalog or contact MED-TAC International for government procurement pricing and NSN availability. The QuickLitter LITE may be procured via GPC, iBuy, or standard supply channels.
Can the QuickLitter LITE be used for K-9 casualty transport?
Yes. The smaller form factor and lighter weight of the LITE make it well-suited for canine patients. K-9 teams should evaluate the rated dimensions and capacity against their working dog's weight. Confirm compatibility with your unit's K-9 medical protocol.
