RR4 Rescue Sled
Description
A specialist water rescue craft from Northern Diver.
The RR4 rescue sled is a versatile craft designed for use in rivers, lakes and flooded urban and coastal areas. Its lightweight, portable design allows for it to be carried into remote bodies of water, for example in mountains.
With an extended platform on the stern, the sled can help provide efficient casualty recovery. Stability is aided by the sponsons and 15 centimetre-thick double walled floor. The sponsons are finished with rubbing strakes and have a diameter of 23 centimetres each.
Multiple grab handles of different sizes are present all around the sled, and the craft is also fitted with 19 D-rings.
The RR4 is very manoeuvrable, suitable for shallow water and can be paddled, pulled by hand or towed by a jet ski, boat or small hovercraft.
With the inflatable you will receive a twin blade paddle, three inflation valve fittings, a hand inflation pump and maintenance kit. For accessories such as fast air pumps, traction pads and extra paddles, click here.
The inflatable is supplied in a carry bag, which can be used to store the sled when deflated and take up minimal space.
Your specification, our expertise...
The sled has colour options, and you can select either PVC or Hypalon fabric, as shown at the top of the product page.
Our design and alterations teams can brand the inflatable with your team insignia and any other artwork and/or lettering. Please contact us to discuss this.
