Junkin MIL-8131-WM Military Type Rectangular Stretcher: Heavy-Duty Extraction for Tactical Ops
The Junkin MIL-8131-WM Military Type Rectangular Basket Stretcher is a high-authority rescue platform designed for elite-tier industrial, military, and governmental emergency response. This model directly addresses the need for an ultra-high-capacity "Stokes" type litter that can withstand the mechanical stressors of vertical hoisting in maritime, aerial, and high-angle tactical environments. It is specifically built for procurement officers and safety managers who require equipment that exceeds standard industrial load ratings while maintaining a manageable product weight for field deployment.
Constructed from lightweight yet exceptionally strong 3/4-inch stainless steel tubing, the MIL-8131-WM is engineered for extreme durability and total resistance to environmental corrosion. The rectangular geometry provides a standardized, ample workspace for patient stabilization, accommodating additional medical equipment or backboards with ease. This Military Type III inspired design features an 18-gauge, 1-inch hexagon mesh netting basket and a specialized wood rack in the trunk section for reinforced spinal support, ensuring patient safety during high-stakes extractions where structural rigidity is paramount.
Key Benefits:
- Extreme 2,500 lb Load Capacity: Certified to handle the most demanding mechanical loads, providing a superior safety factor for vertical and high-angle rescue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
Does the Junkin MIL-8131-WM meet military specifications for basket stretchers?
The Junkin MIL-8131-WM is built to professional standards that align with military-type design requirements (Military Type III) for search and rescue equipment. It utilizes high-grade 3/4" stainless steel tubing and reinforced construction techniques that meet the durability and capacity needs of government and tactical organizations. This ensures that procurement officers are acquiring a platform tested for the high-consequence environments found in military SAR operations. The unit's design is focused on maximum structural integrity and environmental resistance.
-
How does the 2,500 lb load capacity compare to standard JSA-300 series models?
The MIL-8131-WM offers a significantly higher load capacity of 2,500 lbs, which is nearly double the 1,500 lb rating of the standard JSA-300 series. This higher rating is achieved through the use of larger-diameter stainless steel tubing and a reinforced frame architecture designed for extreme mechanical stress. This makes the MIL-8131-WM the preferred choice for industrial facilities where heavy PPE or extra technical gear must be accounted for during a lift. It provides a higher safety margin for technical rescue teams performing complex vertical evacuations.
-
Is the wood rack in the trunk section replaceable or removable for cleaning?
The integrated wood rack in the trunk section is a permanent reinforcement feature designed to provide superior spinal support and frame rigidity during high-load transport. While it is built to be a durable, long-lasting part of the stretcher's architecture, it should be inspected regularly as part of your standard preventative maintenance protocol. The materials used are chosen for their resilience in industrial settings, though users should ensure they are properly dried after exposure to moisture to maintain their integrity. This wood rack helps distribute patient weight more effectively across the stainless steel frame.
-
What rigging hardware is recommended for vertical hoisting with this rectangular model?
For secure vertical or horizontal hoisting, we recommend using a high-capacity four-point lifting bridle like the JSA-300-X-SS, which is also rated for 2,500 lbs. Using a bridle that matches the stretcher's maximum weight capacity is critical for maintaining the safety factor during crane or helicopter extractions. The reinforced top rails of the MIL-8131-WM provide secure attachment points for high-tensile carabiners and technical rigging hardware. Always verify that all components in your rigging system meet or exceed the stretcher's certified load rating.
-
Can this stretcher accommodate a standard 16" x 72" spinal backboard?
Yes, the rectangular design and ample 24-inch width of the Junkin MIL-8131-WM are specifically optimized to accommodate most standard 16" x 72" full-length backboards. This compatibility allows rescue teams to maintain spinal immobilization without having to transfer the patient between different devices, saving critical time during the "Golden Hour" of trauma care. The open-frame design ensures that backboard straps and patient restraints can be secured easily around the basket structure. This makes it an exceptionally versatile tool for multi-agency disaster response scenarios.
