The Bariatric Sked Stretcher is designed to move very heavy patients 
across virtually any type of surface, indoors or outdoors. It has a weight capacity of 1200 lbs or 545 kgs.
When flat the Bariatric Sked measures 244 x 122 cm or 8 feet by 4 feet. It comes in the same tough and extremely durable polyethylene plastic that other Skeds are made from.

It also comes with a pair of slings which have a minimum break strength of 9000 lbs, and a large metal carabiner that can be used to hoist the stretcher onto a trolley or bed.

When not in use, the Sked will roll up into its own cordura storage bag which has a size of 122 cm in length and a 22 cm diameter.
