Product Description

The Critical Difference

Traditional rigid evacuation stretchers impose severe weight penalties and bulky footprints, often forcing fast-moving tactical units to abandon stretchers altogether. When a casualty occurs, responders are left relying on improvised soft litters that lack structural rigidity, making casualty movement difficult over rough terrain and increasing risk during prolonged field care.

The BLACKLite® Composite Tactical Litter bridges this critical gap as the world's lightest rigid casualty evacuation platform. Weighing just 5.5 lbs (2.5 kg)—3× lighter than a standard NATO rigid litter—it utilizes aerospace-grade carbon fiber telescopic poles and a high-strength Cordura® canvas bed to support full combat loadouts up to 330 lbs (150 kg).

The Problems We Solved:

  • Heavy Litter Weight Penalties: Eliminates excessive weight barriers (5.5 lbs total weight) to ensure a rigid litter is always carried.
  • Bulky Storage Bottlenecks: Collapses into a compact 16" x 4" x 4" MOLLE pouch that mounts externally without consuming internal pack space.
  • Slow Assembly Under Fire: Deploys and locks ready for patient loading in approximately 30 seconds without tools or loose parts.
  • Environmental Jamming & Corrosion: Engineered with anti-rotation, sand-, dirt-, and ice-resistant sliding mechanisms with complete corrosion immunity.

Manufactured in France and operationally deployed by Special Forces units since 2020, the BLACKLite® is backed by a lifetime composite warranty—delivering uncompromising rigidity and rapid mobility when lives depend on immediate evacuation.

"The design feels intentional for the moment when seconds matter."

In the field, packaging matters as much as performance. 6:8 Medical products open fast, deploy cleanly, and don’t fight you when seconds count. The indexing and tear features are clearly designed by people who understand real-world EMS chaos—not just a lab environment.
