Rigid litters can't go everywhere — around tight corners, through brush, or through an opening narrower than a stretcher. In those scenarios the casualty still has to move.
What drags a casualty through terrain a stretcher can't reach?
The RANGER Sked was designed by and for U.S. Army Rangers — operators moving casualties and equipment where conventional litters are impractical. Its flexible drag-sheet format conforms to terrain, drags around corners, pulls through brush, and maneuvers through openings too narrow for a stretcher. Five cobra-buckle cross straps secure the casualty for both drag and carry; six sewn-on handles enable a six-point team carry; and a 12 ft drag rope with a plastic tube handle (adjustable via grommets) protects the rescuer's hands over rough ground. The Coyote Brown colorway gives appropriate field camouflage, and a retainer strap keeps the rolled Sked secure in transport. It is not rated for helicopter hoist — use purpose-built hoist-rated slings for vertical extraction.
Why This Drag
Conforms To Terrain
Flexible sheet drags around corners and through gaps a rigid litter can't clear.
Drag Or Carry
12 ft rope for single-rescuer drag; six handles for a team carry.
Rolls Compact
Packs to a 7″ cylinder with a retainer strap — stows in a ruck or vehicle.
Ranger-Proven
A standard SOF and tactical-medicine item for over three decades.
Use note: carried by the six sewn-on handles in a team carry or dragged via the rope. Not rated for helicopter hoist operations — use hoist-rated slings for vertical extraction. Inspect straps, handles, and sheet before and after every use.
Who Fields It
SOF & Rangers — the unit this drag was built by and for
LE & SWAT — confined-space and corridor extraction
SAR & rescue — brush, rubble, and rough-terrain drags
