MATBOCK Monday: LIFT System

As we wrap up Medical March we will be showcasing our full line of ultra lightweight, durable and multifunctional litters.  All of our litters can be used in conjunction with our ultra lightweight Carbon Combat Poles.  The Carbon Combat Poles weigh in at 1.3 pounds per pole and have a max carrying capacity of 400 pounds!  The poles when fully extended are 7′ 6 3/4″ and can be easily collapsed into 5 – 1′ 9 1/4″ sections that can be packed into any pack.

At 6.5 feet long, the stretcher is long enough to accommodate all operators and has a maximum carrying capacity of 400 lbs for both the operator and his/her gear. The stretcher has 5 handles per side to give each team a multitude of configurations for carrying a downed man.  Additionally, the litter collapses and zips together to form a multipurpose, lightweight, Sensitive Site Exploitation (SSE) bag. The bag is augmented with a single adjustable strap for easy carry when loaded, a drawstring to secure the bag contents and is small enough to fold up and be stored in a cargo pocket.  The S-LIFT is compatible with the Combat Carbon Poles.

Made from Ultra High-Density Polyethylene, it will not absorb water, biological or chemical hazards and can handle decontamination in all standard chemicals without degradation in strength or abrasion resistance. Additionally, the stretcher is constructed with Kevlar stitching to ensure even the stitching won’t absorb those hazards.  The J-LIFT is compatible with the Combat Carbon Poles.

The R-LIFT is a fully rigid litter that deploys in seconds, weighs only 6 lbs on its own and only 6.5 lbs with the carrying pack. It boasts a maximum load carrying capacity of 400 lbs. The litter is constructed from Ultra High-Density Polyethylene and Kevlar stitching, offering extremely high abrasion resistance and strength, inability to absorb blood, pathogens, chemical or biological hazards, and still decrease weight and size. Additionally,  The R-LIFT comes with a built-in inflatable air bladder designed to support the head and align the spine. The R-LIFT comes with a replaceable integrated emergency blanket that can be deployed quickly to prevent hypothermia.  The R-LIFT is compatible with the Combat Carbon Poles.

    For those not spending tax dollars but instead their own try the Rescue Essentials QuikLitter™ Lite. $160 vs $28 It’s not as fancy but does a good job.

      Lash together a few $40 carbon fiber hiking poles from Costco and you’ve got the same thing for under $150. Just goes to show how when you market to operators, price is no object.

      • Zach says:

        Would love to see that work for 2.6 lbs total weight for both 96 inch poles and hold 600 lbs. Doubtful

        Are you going to make a ladder out of it too?

        • Joe says:

          I’d like to see a squad size element carry 600-lb any appreciable distance. Doesn’t turn into a ladder but it turns into hiking poles.

          And as far as if it works we’ll just have to experiment. Any search and rescue groups out there?

      • SSD says:

        Yeah, that’s not gonna work, but you go right on.
