EUROCRAFT - Rescue sled

The Path Finder Rescue Sled was developed as a casualty transfer system for use in shallows and mud.

ACCESS

The unit handles extremely well in accessing areas that rescue boats cannot reach, providing a stable working platform for marine rescue. the unit is easily towed, paddled or line transferred and packs down to the size of a standard B.A. set.

SWIFTWATER

Further developments of the sled led to trials in conjunction with Swiftwater Rescue techniques. The Swiftwater system allows the sled to quickly access rescue situations in fast flows of water.

PLATFORM

The sled has been used operationally with jet bikes and fast rescue craft for the recovery of casualties. When clipped to the side of a fast rescue craft or pontoon, the sled will act as a platform enabling easy recovery of secured casualties, swimmers or divers. A variety of stretchers can be located on top of the sled and used with a four-point lifting harness.

SAFER OPTION

Two sleds can be joined together with a twining rig providing a very stable platform with casualty access between the hulls. Twinned sleds operated with two rescue personnel make high-risk rescue situations a safer option. The innovative properties of the unit's design allows it to be applied to other hazardous environments including ice, snow or wetlands.

EASILY TRANSPORTED

The sled system compacts enough to be carried on a back pack making a versatile and effective system. Standard B.A. bottles can be used for fast inflation.
