RescueTECH on the Road at the International Workboat Show

Rescue Tech is hitting the road! Rescue Technology will be exhibiting at the International Workboat Show in New Orleans at the Morial Convention Center on November 27 through December 3. At this trade-only conference and expo, Rescue Technology is pleased to display and demonstrate their gear, equipment, and other products to commercial vessel owners, operators, and builders.  

 Rescue Technology will be exhibiting the following products: 

H-STR II Flexible Stretcher

Task H-STR-II

Ruth Lee Helicopter Winch Manikin

Weight: 40Kg dry weight, 65Kg retrieval weight
Compatible with: standard and hypothermic lifting straps

 

This manikin is designed to perform more accurately in a helicopter winch scenario. Ruth Lee Ltd and rescue experts at Bristow Helicopters worked together to make changes to the popular Man Overboard model in order to provide a manikin that has features more fit to a helicopter winch scenario. These features include lighter legs, ability to sit in a stable W position, buckle clips inside knees and ankles, soft feet that allow for rapid drainage, and several other key benefits that make this manikin exceptional.

Weight: 4 different weight and size options (Adult, youth, toddler, and infant)

This manikin is built to simulate an unconscious victim in the water. It floats at an angle of 45 degrees where the head and shoulders are above the water. This manikin also has the additional option to be made to float horizontally.

It only takes seconds to swap between a horizontally floating manikin and the standard position!
