EUROCRAFT - Water Rescue Equipment

Problems associated with extensive flooding in recent years have highlighted the need for lightweight and versatile water rescue equipment to be available at short notice, often in inaccessible or difficult situations.

In conjunction with various fire and rescue services Eurocraft has developed a number of products which address many of the likely scenarios.


Hypothermia baths 


The most usual candidates for hypothermia are sailors and aircrew rescued from the sea, divers, cavers, mountaineers and old people in poorly heated houses in winter.

Rescue Path 

Rescue Path is a portable, inflatable rescue platform for use over ice, mud, shallows or unstable ground, enabling endangered persons or casualties to be reached in considerably less time than by using traditional methods.

FEATURES

• Inflates in 60 seconds from a standard BA cylinder
• 5m or 10m long by 1.4m wide
• Compact stowage size of 0.787m x 0.533m x 0.406m
• Transportable by 2 persons at 42kgs (less cylinder and regulator valve)

The Rescue Path is able to support a person within 60 seconds; when fully inflated to a pressure of approximately 7psi (0.5 bar) an automatic relief valve prevents over inflation.

Flood raft

The Flood raft was developed by Eurocraft in response to the emergency services' need for a towable craft that could carry more people than the boats and rafts currently used.

It can carry 20 people and has a low access point at the rear, wide enough for a wheelchair which allows for easier rescue of the disabled, elderly and infirm.

The stowed raft is portable and inflation fittings for gas cylinders allow rapid inflation of the craft at the required location.
