The SkedCo HMH Sked® system available as the SK‑251 Body Only and the fully equipped SK‑250 Complete Rescue System is built for demanding Haz‑Mat, hospital evacuation, and mass‑casualty environments. Made from durable, chemical‑resistant medium‑density polyethylene, both models can be dragged over nearly any terrain, including stairways, and allow patients to be rolled or dragged into place to reduce rescuer fatigue. The SK‑251 provides the core flexible litter, while the SK‑250 adds a strengthened strap kit for rapid deployment straight from storage. Compact, decontaminable, and efficient in Level A protective conditions, both versions support fast, safe patient movement through contaminated or high‑risk areas

Features

• Compact, decontaminable design: Built for rapid deployment in hazardous environments and easily cleaned after exposure.
• Durable construction: Made from medium‑density polyethylene that withstands high temperatures and remains unbreakable down to –120°F.
• Versatile terrain performance: Can be dragged across nearly any surface, including stairways, even when responders are in Level A protection.
• Effort‑saving patient loading: Patients can be rolled or dragged onto the Sked, reducing rescuer fatigue and minimizing risk.
• Rapid one‑person deployment: Designed to be deployed quickly by a single responder in emergencies.
• Chemical‑resistant straps: Polypropylene straps resist chemical exposure and support secure containment.
• Stronger buckles (Complete System): Upgraded side‑release buckles improve security and durability.

What Is It?

The HMH Sked® system is a high‑performance rescue litter specifically engineered for Haz‑Mat operations, mass‑casualty incidents, hospital evacuation, decontamination zones, and Hot Zone extractions. The SK‑251 Body Only model provides the stretcher component, while the SK‑250 Complete System includes straps and assembly, ready for immediate deployment.

How Is It Used?

The Sked® can be:

• Dragged by hand or rope through contaminated areas, down stairways, or over rough terrain.
• Used to roll‑load patients rather than lifting, reducing physical strain on rescuers.
• Deployed rapidly from wall‑mounted flat storage bags in hospitals (Complete System use case).

Who Uses It?

• Haz‑Mat teams
• Hospital emergency departments
• Fire & Rescue departments
• Emergency evacuation teams
• Military & disaster response units
• Decontamination zone personnel

These teams rely on the Sked® for mass casualty extraction and safe removal from contaminated environments

Maintenance Information

• Made from materials that do not absorb chemicals, making decontamination fast and safe.
• Stores flat; can be stacked in groups of up to 200 units for long‑term, space‑efficient storage.
• Strap kits are moisture‑resistant and easy to replace if contaminated.
