Evacuation & Rescue

Sked Stretcher

The original and still the best solution for confined space, high angle or technical rescue, and traditional land based applications, the Sked® Stretcher is a revolutionary design which provides outstanding patient protection and security. The Sked® comes equipped for horizontal hoisting by helicopter or vertical hoisting in caves or industrial confined spaces.

When the patient is packaged the stretcher becomes rigid. The durable plastic provides protection for the patient while allowing extrication through the most demanding confined spaces. The stretcher is rolled for storage in a tough cordura backpack which is included with the system. The system ships at 19 lbs and comes complete for most applications.

This stretcher is widely used by the rescue services because of its versatility, it can be used as a sledge in sewers and on hillsides as well as being attached to a winch and lifted vertically. The Sked stretcher comes complete with all of the accessories you are ever likely to need for any emergency evacuation of an injured person.

Rollgliss R350

The Rollgliss R350 is the base model which is available in 3 further formats, offering a 2:1, 3:1 and 5:1 reduction system dependant upon your requirements.

The R350 man riding winch can be used for either working or rescue, this unit comes into its own for chimneys, towers masts. The operative can self ascend or lower to his given task, the R350 also allows for a top man to have control, allowing him to recover the operative if the need so arises. The R350 in its 5:1 ratio can also be used to recover 2 operatives at once, making it a very practical recovery system.

The fall required is worked out on which unit is ordered by the ratio, a 2:1 for instance with a 50 metre rope fitted would give a fall of 25 metres, where as the 5:1 would have a fall of 10 metres. We have listed a number of options but these units really need to be built to operational or risk assessment needs.
