A reusable litter has to be decontaminated between patients and is too costly to pre-stage in quantity. In an MCI you need litters everywhere, fast, and cheap enough to leave behind.
What lets you pre-stage litters everywhere and never worry about decon?
The QuikLitter™ is the defining standard for disposable casualty carry litters — cheap enough to pre-stage throughout large facilities, deploying in seconds from a compact package, and carrying up to 500 lb (Standard) or 1,000 lb (XL), enough for any adult patient in full tactical gear. The Standard weighs just 6 oz and packs flat into response bags, kit pouches, and staging kits; ten carry handles (four per side, one each end) allow 2-, 4-, 6-, or 8-person carries. As a disposable, it eliminates decontamination burden — left with the receiving team or disposed of, preventing cross-contamination. The XL adds 12″ width and 6″ length for larger or complex-injury patients, with 14 handholds and two built-in retention straps for longer carries, rough terrain, and bariatric patients.

When to Deploy the QuickLitter
- Care-under-fire evacuation: When a casualty cannot walk and immediate movement off the X is required, the QuickLitter deploys from its compact pouch and accepts a patient in seconds without requiring litter poles.
- Urban corridor and stairwell extractions: The flexible poleless design conforms to tight spaces where rigid litters cannot navigate — doorways, vehicles, and stairwells.
- Squad-level CASEVAC without dedicated litter bearers: Two-person carry using the integrated carry handles allows any responders in the team to transport without specialized training.
- Vehicle-mounted CASEVAC staging: Stores flat in a vehicle trauma kit or patrol bag and adds immediate non-ambulatory transport capability to any team element.
- Austere environments with limited medical support: Where purpose-built litters are unavailable, the QuickLitter provides a dignified, stable patient platform for movement to a collection point or MEDEVAC.

How the QuickLitter Compares
QuickLitter vs. rigid pole litters: Rigid litters (e.g., TALON II, RAVEN) offer a firm platform for spinal immobilization and extended carries; the QuickLitter trades rigidity for packability and one-handed deployment speed — the right choice for immediate grab-and-go situations where storage space is limited.
QuickLitter vs. QuickLitter LITE: The standard QuickLitter offers greater patient capacity; the LITE version is a stripped-down, ultralight option for one-person-carry applications. Match selection to team manning and patient weight requirements.
QuickLitter vs. Dragon Harness linear drag: The Dragon Harness is worn by the rescuer for hands-free single-operator drags; the QuickLitter requires two operators but provides a better patient platform, is faster to set up, and supports longer transport distances.
QuickLitter vs. improvised carries: Improvised fireman carries and drag techniques risk secondary injury to both casualty and rescuer. The QuickLitter provides proper handles, weight distribution, and patient containment for a more controlled transport. See the full Casualty EVAC collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the QuickLitter CoTCCC-recommended?
A: CoTCCC guidelines address casualty movement under fire (Tactical Field Care and TACEVAC phases). While CoTCCC does not enumerate specific litter models by name, the QuickLitter is purpose-built for the patient movement requirements outlined in those guidelines. Consult your unit medical officer for fielding decisions.
Q: What is the weight capacity of the QuickLitter?
A: The QuickLitter is rated for standard tactical patient loads. Consult the product datasheet or North American Rescue for the precise rated capacity for your configuration. As with all poleless litters, two carriers are recommended for loads above 200 lb to maintain proper patient positioning.
Q: Does the QuickLitter fit in a standard MOLLE pouch?
A: The QuickLitter is designed to pack into its integral storage pouch. Attachment compatibility varies by vest and carrier system. Review the packed dimensions against your platform. For MOLLE/PALS attachment, verify loop spacing against your carrier's webbing configuration.
Q: What is the NSN for the QuickLitter?
A: NSN availability varies by configuration. Contact MED-TAC International or reference North American Rescue's current NSN listings through your procurement office. MED-TAC can assist government buyers with DLA/GPC procurement for the QuickLitter.
Q: Can one person deploy the QuickLitter alone?
A: The QuickLitter can be deployed by one person in an emergency but is designed for two-person carries. Single-operator dragging is possible using the integrated handles, but two-person use is the recommended method for dignified transport and safe patient handling.
