Product Overview

International Orange is the globally recognized high-visibility standard for search-and-rescue — used on life jackets, SAR aircraft, maritime safety equipment, and rescue tools worldwide. The Orange Sked® brings that identifier to the platform, making it the preferred choice for civilian SAR teams, coast guard units, mountain rescue, maritime rescuers, and disaster-response agencies where visual identification of rescue equipment is operationally critical.

Beyond color, the Orange Sked® is functionally identical to the standard green SK-200. The same flexible plastic wraps and rigidizes around the patient for full confined-space protection. The same horizontal lift slings, vertical lift sling, tow strap, removable webbing handles, and carabiner are included for the full range of rescue applications, and the same Cordura backpack roll-and-store format keeps the system protected and portable.

For agencies operating in both military/tactical (Green) and civilian SAR/maritime (Orange) contexts, color-specific Sked® systems allow immediate visual identification of which system is deployed and by whom — a small but operationally meaningful distinction in multi-agency mass-casualty or disaster environments.

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.
