Equipment for the recovery end of a technical rescue: packaging a subject, moving them through a confined or high-angle environment, and handing them over to EMS. This page covers rescue litters and stretchers, drag harnesses and rescue seats, tripods and confined-space systems, and the slings and straps used to secure a load.

Selection usually comes down to the environment. Confined-space entry and vertical shaft work need a tripod or davit with a retrieval winch and a harness rated for suspension. High-angle work needs a litter that can be bridled and attended. Rapid extraction under threat favours a drag harness or rescue seat that one operator can deploy on a downed colleague without releasing their own protection.

Fire, SAR, industrial rescue and tactical medical teams all buy from this category, and the right answer differs for each. Tell us the scenario you are equipping for and we will match the packaging system to it, including compatibility with the rope and harnesses you already run.
