Each BEECN cache initially included a single SKED Basic Rescue System for patient transport. However, SKEDs are being phased out and only a few BEECNs still have them. Instead of a SKED, caches are stocked with several MegaMovers. If a BEECN Coordinator manages a cache with a SKED and they prefer to have MegaMovers, they should contact PBEM and ask for an exchange. | Each BEECN cache initially included a single SKED Basic Rescue System for patient transport.

The reason for the change is that SKEDs are very expensive, take up a lot of space in the cache, and require training to learn how to use. MegaMovers are inexpensive, intuitive, and six MegaMovers can take the place of one SKED. The only drawback is that MegaMovers are intended as single use and disposable, though it is acceptable to use them after their first use for heavy objects (MegaMovers have an approximate weight limit of 1,000 lbs.) | The reason for the change is that SKEDs are very expensive, take up a lot of space in the cache, and require training to learn how to use.
