The PJ Sked is designed to do everything a standard Sked SK-200 will do. The only difference between the two is the standard Sked is 36 inches wide and the PJ Sked is 28 inches wide. This allows for an 8 inch shorter pack and it makes it much easier to go through a door with it across your ruck. Comes with Cobra Quick Release Buckles for faster and safer patient packaging. The PJ Sked has not been tested by USAARL for hoisting, however, the Air Force PJ’s are hoisting it on a regular basis.

Flotation System

This inflatable flotation system maintains the Sked® in a nearly vertical position in the water. It is self-righting and keeps the patient's head completely out of water, even in rough seas. The side floats and chest pad provide buoyancy sufficient to support two rescuers in the water in addition to the patient, while the lead shot filled ballast keeps the foot end down and the head elevated out of the water. With CO2 inflatable side float logs and an empty ballast bag with hook and loop closure which can be filled with rocks just prior to use, which allow you to save space and carry 15 pounds less weight.

The SK-600A SKED Inflatable Flotation System comes with:
• SK-602 Inflatable Chest Pad
• SK-605/SK-606 CO2 Inflatable Float 5” Diameter Logs (pair)
• SK-653 CO2 CARTRIDGE - 25g (pair)
• SK-604 Extra Long Handles
• SK-607 Empty Ballast Bag

Cobra Buckles Conversion Kit

The challenge of finding a quick connect/quick release buckle for the Sked® has finally been met. Skedco now has the Austrian made Skedco/Cobra side release buckles that are dependable and strong enough to meet the needs of securing a patient into a Sked® stretcher without the danger of breakage. These buckles are rated at 3,000 pounds. They are durable and easy to use. When they are under tension they are very hard to release thus accidental release under tension is not an issue. With these buckles you will no longer have to weave the webbing through the buckles when packaging a patient. Patient packaging is often done in about half of the time as when using the original steel buckles. Because of the cost of the buckles they are offered as a special order on new Sked®s and as a retrofit kit for Sked®s you already have. You do, however, get everything you pay for with these buckles. They dramatically speed up the patient packaging because of the ease of using them.
