Moving a 200+ lb patient on a rigid litter from the treatment area to a waiting MEDEVAC vehicle — across tarmac, uneven ground, or facility floors — is one of the most physically punishing tasks in casualty care, and a four-person manual carry burns the exact personnel a scene can’t spare.
What turns a four-person carry into a one-person roll?
This carrier does. At 42 lb — the lightest on the market — it carries a 550 lb payload and reduces a multi-person lift to a single-person push, cutting both the personnel requirement and rescuer back-injury risk. An adjustable locking clamp system fits multiple litter widths, making it compatible with the full NAR rigid-litter family: Talon®, Raven®, MedEvac, and T3. A unique wheel-locking system then converts the cart into a stable field litter stand — elevating the patient off the ground for treatment, assessment, or crew-rest staging without separate stand equipment, which matters when treatment space and hands are both short. It deploys and folds fast, collapsing to a 42.1 × 27.5 × 9.84″ profile for vehicle or facility stowage, and rolls on rugged high-strength wheels across most indoor and outdoor terrain. The NATO NSN confirms adoption across U.S. and allied medical logistics. Litters sold separately.
Use note: a load-rated patient-transport device for trained users; do not exceed the 550 lb rated payload. Inspect frame, clamps, and wheel-lock before and after each use. Ships freight on a pallet — freight cost is confirmed before dispatch.
