Which litters are compatible with the NAR Litter Stands 33"?
The NAR Litter Stands 33" are compatible with North American Rescue's Talon, Raven, T3, and Medevac litters. They are designed to restrict front-to-back litter movement, keeping the litter stable on the stand during patient treatment and positioning. They are not rated or designed for use with litters outside this family without verification of compatibility.
What is the payload capacity of the Litter Stands?
Each stand (sold as a set of 2) supports a payload capacity of 1,200 lb — well above the weight of any realistic casualty load including equipment and personnel. The aluminum construction provides a strong strength-to-weight ratio, keeping the set at 8 lb 8 oz total while maintaining structural integrity under full load.
How quickly do the stands deploy?
The stands are designed for rapid field deployment: open the stand and the cross member locks into place automatically, providing an immediately stable platform. No tools or assembly steps are required. From folded transport position to ready-to-use height of 33 inches takes seconds — critical in time-sensitive casualty treatment scenarios.
What is the extended height and why does it matter?
The stands extend to 33 inches — approximately waist height for most providers — allowing medics to assess and treat casualties without bending to the ground. Working at litter height reduces provider fatigue during sustained treatment operations, improves access for airway management and wound care, and enables IV placement and monitoring at a comfortable working position.
Are the Litter Stands sold individually or as a set?
The Litter Stands are sold as a set of 2 (Unit of Issue: Set of 2) under SKU 60-0014. A pair of stands is required to support a litter — one at each end. The set price reflects both stands. Always confirm you have both stands present before deploying to a field treatment station.
What litter systems are compatible with these stands?
NAR Litter Stands 33" are compatible with standard NATO-pattern litters including NAR's Talon II, T3, QuickLitter, and RAVEN platforms. Verify compatibility with your specific litter configuration.
What is the load capacity of the stands?
Contact MED-TAC International or the product page for the current load rating. Verify against your patient weight and litter weight before operational deployment.
Do the stands fold for transport?
Yes — the stands collapse for pack and transport. Specific fold dimensions should be verified on the product page for compatibility with your medical bag or pack configuration.
What is the NSN for NAR Litter Stands 33"?
Contact MED-TAC International for NSN, DLA, and GSA procurement information. NAR litter support equipment is available through military medical supply channels.
Are litter stands required for TCCC-compliant care?
TCCC protocols focus on point-of-injury and early care, not treatment-area infrastructure. Litter stands are required for Role 1 and Role 2 treatment-area operations where patients need extended care at provider working height.
