Ratel Robotics lists the electric stretcher for contact-line evacuation, while 2026 reporting from a Ratel factory describes the company's Ukraine-war UGV output moving into front-line logistics and wounded-evacuation missions.
Role detailsElectric stretcher
- Ratel Electric Stretcher
- Electric stretcher "RATEL"
The Ratel Robotics Electric stretcher is a Ukrainian powered casualty-evacuation platform for moving wounded personnel away from the contact line. Ratel lists the stretcher in its modular ground-robotics catalog, with three replaceable batteries, a 100 m control radius, and a 150 kg listed evacuation load; wartime reporting on Ratel's UGV production places casualty evacuation among the front-line roles Ukrainian operators are assigning to the company's robots.

Compatible evacuation platforms
Ratel's own platform pages place the electric stretcher inside the same evacuation-and-logistics family as the larger ground robots.
| Compatible item | Item type | Compatibility evidence |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Robotic logistics and evacuation platform | Ratel H's product page says the platform can install stretchers for evacuation, making it a documented carrier for the electric stretcher in the Ratel family. Sources: Electric Stretcher Product Page, Ratel H Product Page |
![]() | Robotic logistics and evacuation platform | Ratel M's product page says it is adapted for medical stretchers and evacuation tasks, so it is a documented companion platform for the electric stretcher. Sources: Electric Stretcher Product Page, Ratel M Product Page |
Evacuation Role Context
Ratel presents the electric stretcher as evacuation equipment inside a wider family of Ukrainian ground robots, not as a self-propelled ambulance vehicle.
| Context | What the sources show |
|---|---|
| Exact item | The product page describes ground-robotic electric stretchers for evacuation loads up to 150 kg and contact-line evacuation tasks. |
| Carrier fit | Ratel H lists stretcher installation among its mission equipment, and Ratel M is described as adapted for medical-stretcher evacuation work. |
| War role | Independent reporting from a Ratel factory describes the company's UGVs moving from production and training into front-line logistics and wounded-evacuation missions. |
