Skedco® manufactures and markets State of the art Confined Space Rescue equipment including the original Sked® stretcher – the perfect solution for confined space, high angle and technical rescue. The revolutionary design provides outstanding patient protection and security during helicopter hoisting.

When using Sked in the water, patients can be packaged in 20 seconds.
Sked can be hoisted by helicopter. Skedco produces the tagline to prevent litter spin under the helicopter.
