Who Is This Product For?
Ideal for: search and rescue teams, technical rescue professionals, emergency responders, and other users who need an efficient way to transport a loaded rescue litter across rough terrain or over extended distances.
Designed for Rescue Litter Transport
The Mule II reduces the need to carry a loaded litter over long approaches by adding a large all-terrain wheel to the rescue litter. Its maneuverable single-wheel configuration is particularly useful on narrow trails, uneven ground, and other terrain where a conventional wheeled stretcher may be difficult to operate.
The ATV-style tire is designed to provide tracking and shock absorption, helping create smoother movement while transporting a patient. The fast ratchet system provides a secure connection between the wheel and rigid litter, allowing the system to be deployed quickly during rescue operations.
