Product Overview

Carrying a quad-fold litter into a combat or active threat environment requires more than a simple case — the carrier must keep the litter stable during fast-rope (FRIES) insertions, helicopter operations, running, and complex movement without risking accidental litter loss. The standard Assault Litter Carrier addressed this, but the RIG Series represents an enhanced version specifically engineered for the most demanding special operations and tactical law enforcement applications.

The signature enhancement is the additional securing strap over the top of the litter. This strap prevents the litter from shifting or ejecting even during FRIES operations, helicopter hoisting, and the extreme dynamic movement of high-speed direct action or tactical entries. Combined with three additional handles for controlled packing and unloading, the RIG Series provides the level of litter security and access control demanded by operators who cannot afford to lose their equipment during mission-critical moments.

Upgraded padded shoulder straps address the fatigue problem of long-duration litter carries — particularly relevant for special operations units conducting extended patrols where the litter must be carried continuously for hours. The top-flap pocket for Heat Reflective Shell storage and back-panel pocket for the Heating Element and Casualty Equipment Bag integrate thermal patient management supplies directly into the litter carrier platform, eliminating a separate bag for hypothermia prevention equipment.

IMPORTANT: The RIG Series Assault Litter Carrier is compatible with quad-fold litters ONLY — specifically the Talon II and MedEvac models. It is NOT compatible with bi-fold litters such as the RAVEN® 90C or OSL.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Which litters is the RIG Series Assault Litter Carrier compatible with?

The RIG Series Assault Litter Carrier is designed exclusively for quad-fold litters — specifically the NAR Talon II and MedEvac litter models. It is not compatible with bi-fold litters such as the RAVEN® 90C or OSL Oversized Litter. Using this carrier with an incompatible litter will result in poor fit and potential equipment failure.

What is FRIES and why does the additional securing strap matter?

FRIES (Fast Rope Insertion Extraction System) is a special operations technique for rapidly inserting or extracting personnel from a hovering helicopter using a rope. During FRIES, operators are exposed to significant dynamic forces. The RIG Series' additional top securing strap prevents the litter from shifting or ejecting from the carrier during these high-force operations — a critical safety feature that the standard Assault Litter Carrier lacks.

What accessories are stored in the RIG Series' pockets?

The top flap pocket accommodates a Heat Reflective Shell (HRS) — a thermal wrap used to prevent patient hypothermia. The back panel pocket stores a Heating Element and Casualty Equipment Bag for active patient warming. All three of these items (HRS, Heating Element, and Casualty Equipment Bag) are sold separately — only the carrier is included in this purchase.

Does the RIG Series Assault Litter Carrier have MOLLE compatibility?

Yes. The exterior of the RIG Series carrier features MOLLE webbing for attaching additional mission-dependent equipment. This allows operators to integrate tourniquets, medical pouches, chem lights, or other modular accessories directly to the carrier without a separate attachment system.

Why are upgraded shoulder straps important on the RIG Series?

The upgraded padded shoulder straps address the fatigue and discomfort of carrying a loaded quad-fold litter for extended periods. In special operations contexts, a litter may be carried continuously during patrols of several hours. The padding and ergonomic design of the RIG Series straps significantly reduce shoulder fatigue compared to standard webbing straps, maintaining operator comfort and performance on long-duration missions.
