Fibrelight Crane Stretcher - Man Overboard Rescue Stretcher for Horizontal Recovery - Fibrelight Recovery Cradle System

The Fibrelight Crane Stretcher is designed for quick and efficient casualty recovery from the water, where fast deployment, casualty support, and controlled recovery are critical. Developed for commercial and professional marine use, the system is ideal for vessels fitted with a davit or crane that require a safe method of recovering casualties horizontally from the water.

By supporting the casualty in a horizontal position throughout the recovery process, the Fibrelight Crane Stretcher helps reduce the risk of circum-rescue collapse, a serious condition that can occur when an exhausted or hypothermic casualty is lifted vertically after prolonged immersion. Keeping the casualty level and fully supported provides a safer recovery method, particularly for individuals requiring immediate medical attention.

The system is especially effective on high-sided vessels where recovering a casualty directly from the water can be difficult using conventional ladders or rescue slings alone. Its wide opening and supported platform design allow rescuers to guide and position the casualty securely before lifting them aboard in a controlled manner.

For greater recovery flexibility, the stretcher can also be used alongside other man overboard recovery equipment, including rescue slings and recovery poles, helping crews guide and secure casualties into the stretcher prior to recovery using the vessel’s davit or crane system.
