The Sked Basic Rescue orange rigid stretcher for rescue.
The Sked Basic Rescue System stretcher is the reference tool for technical rescue missions. Made from durable molded plastic, it offers complete protection for the patient, while enabling both horizontal and vertical extractions (e.g. from caves, reservoirs or technical shafts). Its innovative design allows it to be rolled for storage, and once the patient is placed inside with the straps, it becomes rigid - ensuring stable transport in tight spaces.
Each system includes not only the Sked stretcher itself in bright orange for optimum visibility, but also a Cordura backpack for transport, horizontal lifting straps, a vertical strap, sturdy handles, a Tow Strap and a steel "D" carabiner for secure attachment. The whole package weighs in at around 7.7 kg, which is well contained considering its comprehensive capabilities.
Thanks to its Steel Buckles finish, this model provides a sturdy, durable, corrosion-resistant closure, suitable for damp or weather-exposed environments. The integrated strap system ensures that the patient is held correctly, even during inclines or vertical lifts, minimizing damaging internal movements for injured patients.
Benefits and highlights
The Sked Basic Rescue System stands out for its versatility and strength. Its main asset is its ability to be used in difficult scenarios: confined spaces, heights, technical interventions or rugged terrain. The fact that it can become rigid when the patient is appropriate enhances control and safety during transport.
International orange visibility means you'll be able to spot it quickly when you need it, even in the dark. The Cordura bag makes transporting the equipment easier, protects the device and enables rapid mobilization. Metal fasteners and multiple handles ensure a stable, reliable hold.
