Talon II Model 90C Collapsible Handle Litter
by North American Rescue
Talon II Model 90C Collapsible Handle Litter is a compact, mission focused evacuation platform developed to U.S. Army requirements for rapid casualty movement in constrained environments. The patented quad fold design with retractable handles converts from a slim, folded pack to a full length NATO compatible evacuation litter, extending from a folded height of 20.5 in. to an extended length of 90 in. Handles collapse for storage in up armored vehicles and tight aircraft cabins, while the low 6 in. profile and 1.5 in. ground clearance aid stable loading. Weighing 16 lb 6 oz and rated to a static payload of 1800 lb, the Talon II 90C is certified Safe to Fly U.S. Army Rotary Wing and integrates with optional Talon Back Rest and 33 in. stands.

Talon II Model 90C Collapsible Handle Litter
Mission Ready Evacuation in Confined Spaces
The Talon II Model 90C provides a compact, rapid solution for casualty movement where space is limited. Designed to meet U.S. Army requirements for battlefield evacuation, the litter folds to a slim profile with handles collapsed, allowing transport and deployment inside up armored vehicles, tight aircraft cabins, and constrained ground ambulances. When extended, ergonomically designed handles create a standard NATO compatible platform, enabling smooth transfer to other evacuation systems. First responders, tactical medics, and combat lifesavers use this litter to reduce patient handling time, stabilize casualties for transport, and maintain evacuation flow during high tempo operations and complex extrication scenarios.
Patented Quad Fold and Retractable Handle Technology
The Talon II 90C uses an innovative portable quad fold design with retractable handles that convert between compact storage and full length evacuation mode. Folded dimensions are H 20.5 in. x W 8.5 in. x D 9.5 in., and when opened with handles extended the litter reaches L 90 in. x W 22.5 in. x D 6 in., accommodating taller patients and full length stowage. The retractable handles are engineered for secure grip and balanced lift, supporting a static payload of 1800 lb, and the low profile surface provides 1.5 in. ground clearance for stability during loading and unloading.
Built for Durability and Certification
Constructed with mission grade materials and reinforced structural joints, the Talon II 90C is built to withstand repeated field use and the rigors of tactical transport. The litter meets stringent quality standards and is certified Safe to Fly U.S. Army Rotary Wing, providing assurance for aircrew and medics during hoist or cabin evacuation operations. At 16 lb 6 oz, the platform balances lightweight portability with heavy duty load capacity. Accessories such as the Talon Back Rest and 33 in. litter stands are compatible, allowing customization for treatment, patient comfort, and extended operations.
Versatile Use Across Operational Scenarios
From tactical casualty evacuation to civilian mass casualty response, the Talon II 90C adapts to diverse mission sets. Its compact folded profile supports rapid staging and storage on ground vehicles and aircraft, while the extended platform aligns with NATO standards for interoperability during joint operations. Use cases include rotary wing insertions and extractions, vehicle casualty removal in urban and rural environments, vertical lift operations when paired with approved stands and hoist systems, and rear cabin transfers where space is limited. The litter is suitable for unit medics, EMS teams, law enforcement tactical medics, and rescue squads engaged in complex evacuations.
