Following the success of the range of its Rescue Sleds, MFC Survival has added a new product to complement the its water rescue solutions which include walkways, API stretchers, hose inflation kits, drysuits, water rescue kits, life jackets and water rescue sleds.
After much discussion with many of its customers MFC Survival decided to redesign and power its best selling water rescue sled. This resulted in the RS15T. It is fitted with an integral transom with a non-return drain port and towing ‘u’ bolts. Fully inflatable within minutes, the RS15T provides a completely stable and manoeuvrable safe working platform. Easily stowed, the 5m x 2.14m sled packs into a valise which measures just 1.65m x 0.55m x 0.35m.
Lightweight, the RS15T weighs just 56kg making it easily transportable. The sled is ideally suited for use on inland waterways and as a means of transportation for up to 15 people in flooded urban areas, especially where mass evacuation is needed. It can also be used to tow. The shallow draught enables use in shallow waters of approximately 40cm depth and the large bearing surface makes the sled ideal for ice and mud rescues. With integral stern boarding steps the sled is easily boarded.
Fully laden and to full capacity (15 people or 1200kg) in trials the sled still powers along at 11 knots with a 15HP, 2 stroke engine and at 23 knots with 2 people.
The RS15T has many features such as stowage pockets, control line patches, internal and external lifelines fitted as standard and many more can be fitted to suit customer requirements.
MFC Survival’s research and development team has again proven that listening and responding to customer requirements and ideas provides a platform for continuous, new and existing product development to benefit all.
