In an active-shooter event or MCI, responders need a litter that deploys in seconds from a folded format, holds heavy loads without mechanical failure, and allows care to continue during transport — three demands a basic stretcher can't meet at once.
What deploys in seconds, carries 1,200 lb, and won't collapse under load?
The Quad-Fold Medevac Litter delivers on all three. A patented locking joint configuration locks the leg crossbar in the open position and prevents unintentional collapse during patient carry — the safety feature that separates it from lower-grade alternatives. At 13.5 lb with a 21.5″ folded height, it carries over the shoulder, stores in a vehicle rescue rack, or pre-stages in a facility cache; the four-panel quad-fold opens fully in seconds with no tools or special training. The 1,200 lb payload gives mechanical margin under heavy loads, and six IV attachment points allow administration during movement. The 500-denier polyester bed cleans and decontaminates easily between patients. Subdued Black/Green for tactical and military use; high-visibility Orange/Black for EMS, fire, and MCI command where rapid visual ID matters.
