VR 14 - LIFTING STRAP

Time is of the essence in a rescue situation, and keeping the deck crew safe is paramount. The Rescue Pole keeps your crew safely inside the bulwarks of the vessel. 

Two detachable 1.8 m (6') long 3.2 cm (1.25") diameter foam-filled poles allow the MOB to be pulled close to the boat before deploying the strap. When deployed, the strap goes over the person in the water and then under their arms for a vertical recovery. To be used with the C-Hero Rescue Davit, sold separately, or with your boat’s anchor-handling davit. Rescue poles can be easily and quickly re-rigged for additional rescues. With both coupled poles and the hoop you have up to 4.2 m (14’) of reach. The rescue strap automatically detaches from holding blocks and snaps when being secured to the person by cinching the slide-buckle.
