The PJ Sked has not been tested by USAARL for hoisting, however, the Air Force PJ’s are hoisting it on a regular basis.

The PJ Sked Rescue System with Cobra Quick Release Buckles comes with:

• PJ Sked Stretcher
• Cordura backpack
• Horizontal Lift Slings (pair)
• Sked Tow Strap

The Ranger Sked, designed by the Army Rangers, is used as a patient or equipment drag. It is tough, durable, lightweight and extremely versatile.

It has five cross straps that fasten with cobra buckles, six carrying handles (sewn on), and a 366 cm long rope with a plastic tube handle for dragging. The rope can be adjusted to shorter lengths by pulling it farther through the grommets and tying the overhand knots farther from the ends of the rope.

The Ranger Sked is rolled up for storage with a retainer strap to keep it rolled.

It measures 57cm x 244 cm x .0.254 cm thickness and rolls up into a compact 17 cm diameter and 57 cm length. It is not designed for hoisting by helicopter. It is either carried by the six sewn-on webbing handles or dragged using the tow webbing.

**Do not use strap closest to the head end unless hauling equipment

The Tactical Sked was requested through the system from down range. It weighs seven pounds and with all accessories it weighs 9 pounds. When laid out, the Tactical Sked measures in 204.216 cm long X 57.15 cm wide X 0.254 cm thick.

It comes in Coyote Brown color and has Cobra buckles throughout. There is a strap diagonally across the chest to keep the patient in if it gets inverted. Other Skeds do not need it because they are longer.

When rolled up the Tactical Sked is 17.78 cm in diameter X 57.15 cm long. If it is secured across your ruck you can easily go through a door without it hanging up. It is made of the same rugged plastic that all Skedco litters are made of so it is extremely durable in the most extreme environment.

The accessories include: a pair of horizontal lift slings, a steel carabiner to secure the ends of the slings together for hoisting into a helicopter and a tow strap for “hands free” dragging.The backpack is 60.96 cm long X 17.78 cm in diameter.

When it is carried or hoisted the Tactical Sked keeps your patient’s body straight. It will not bend in the middle. Because it is narrow it forms an anatomical splint around the legs when the straps are pulled tight. It is truly the most versatile of all lightweight stretchers.
