What does the w/Case version include that the standard Wheeled Litter Carrier does not?
The Wheeled Litter Carrier w/Case (SKU 60-0063) adds a rugged, stackable, wheeled storage case measuring L 48 × W 29.5 × H 12.5 inches to the standard Wheeled Litter Carrier. The case protects the carrier during long-term storage, enables transport between facilities, and supports forward pre-positioning. The case itself weighs 56 lb, bringing the combined system to 98 lb (44.4 kg).
Does the storage case have wheels?
Yes. The storage case included with the Wheeled Litter Carrier w/Case has its own wheels, allowing the loaded case to be rolled without lifting the combined 98 lb system. The stackable design allows multiple case units to be stored efficiently in medical equipment rooms or vehicle bays.
Is a litter included with the Wheeled Litter Carrier w/Case?
No. As with the standard Wheeled Litter Carrier, litters are sold separately. The carrier is compatible with Talon®, Raven®, MedEvac, and T3 litters. The carrier's adjustable locking clamp system accommodates different litter widths across the compatible product family.
Why does the Wheeled Litter Carrier w/Case require freight shipping?
The combined system (carrier + case) weighs 98 lb (44.4 kg) and the case alone measures 48 × 29.5 × 12.5 inches — exceeding standard parcel carrier size and weight limits. Freight shipping on a pallet is required for safe transport. Customers selecting standard shipping will be contacted by MED-TAC Customer Service for freight cost authorization before dispatch.
Can the Wheeled Litter Carrier w/Case be used for facility staging as well as field deployment?
Yes. The case bundle is specifically designed for both applications. For facility staging — hospitals, aid stations, emergency operations centers — the wheeled case enables storage in a compact stackable footprint with easy roll-out when needed. For field forward staging, the case protects the carrier during transport to the operating area and provides a protected storage solution at the casualty collection point or treatment facility.
What is the difference between the Wheeled Litter Carrier and the Wheeled Litter Carrier w/Case?
The Wheeled Litter Carrier w/Case (NAR) includes the carrier platform and a purpose-built storage and transit case. The carrier-only version does not include a case. Both provide identical patient transport capability; the case adds transit protection and storage convenience.
What litter sizes is the w/Case carrier compatible with?
The 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.
Is the case suitable for air cargo transport?
The case is designed for ground and air cargo transport. Confirm packaging requirements with your transportation coordinator for military air cargo specifics (PLS, MILVAN, etc.).
What is the NSN or procurement path for the Wheeled Litter Carrier w/Case?
Contact MED-TAC International for NSN, CAGE code, and DLA/GSA government procurement information for the NAR Wheeled Litter Carrier w/Case.
How is the carrier cleaned and maintained?
Clean the carrier frame and wheels with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Inspect wheel bearings and locking mechanisms for wear. Lubricate per manufacturer guidance. Store in the case dry and away from direct sunlight when not in use.
