Does the Wheeled Litter Carrier include a litter?
No. The NAR Talon® Wheeled Litter Carrier (SKU 60-0041) is the wheeled cart only — litters are sold separately. It is compatible with Talon®, Raven®, MedEvac, and T3 litters, and its adjustable locking clamp system accommodates different litter widths across the compatible product family.
What is the payload capacity of the Wheeled Litter Carrier?
The NAR Wheeled Litter Carrier supports a 550 lb (250 kg) payload. High-strength materials and rugged wheels maintain structural performance across the full payload range and across most terrain and floor surfaces encountered in field and facility MEDEVAC operations.
Can the Wheeled Litter Carrier be used as a litter stand?
Yes. A unique wheel-locking system allows the Wheeled Litter Carrier to function as a field litter stand — elevating the patient off the ground for treatment, patient assessment, and staging during mass casualty operations. This dual-function eliminates the need for separate stand equipment and increases operational utility in resource-constrained environments.
Does the Wheeled Litter Carrier require special shipping?
Yes. Due to its size (42.1 × 27.5 × 9.84 inches folded, 42 lb), the Wheeled Litter Carrier must be shipped via freight on a pallet. Customers selecting standard shipping methods will be contacted by a MED-TAC Customer Service Representative to authorize the updated freight cost before dispatch.
What is the NATO NSN for the Wheeled Litter Carrier?
The NAR Talon® Wheeled Litter Carrier is assigned NATO NSN 6530-01-663-2308, confirming its acceptance into US military and NATO allied medical logistics systems and eligibility for government procurement through standard supply channels.
What litter sizes is the Wheeled Litter Carrier compatible with?
The NAR Wheeled Litter Carrier is designed for standard NATO/military litter dimensions. Confirm compatibility with your specific litter model before procurement. Contact MED-TAC International for dimensional specifications.
How many personnel are required to operate the Wheeled Litter Carrier?
One to two personnel can operate the wheeled litter carrier for patient transport, compared to four for manual litter carry. This personnel savings is significant in mass casualty and high-operational-tempo environments.
Is the Wheeled Litter Carrier suitable for outdoor terrain?
The carrier is designed for relatively flat, improved surfaces typical of medical facilities, helipads, and casualty collection points. It is not designed for rough or unimproved terrain where a litter carry team would be required.
