Manikin for Casualty Evacuation - Casualty Extraction Training Dummy - Evacuation Training Mannequin - RLNCE
The Casualty Evacuation Manikin is purpose-built for the UK Fire Fighter Recruitment Test and the CFOA FireFit Role Based Fitness Test. Customisation options are available to tailor the weight of the manikin according to your specific requirements, while the standard weight for UK FRS is set at 55kgs.
Emergency Response Mannequin for Evacuation - Rescue Dummy for Casualty Evac - Casualty Evacuation Training Manikin
The casualty evacuation training manikin is tailor-made for the Fire Fighter recruitment and annual fitness test mandated by the Chief Fire Officers Association. While the standard weight is set at 55kgs for UK FRS, customization options are available to meet your specific requirements. This manikin has been upgraded, with the construction materials to improved to flame retardant Polyester, the same material used in Police ballistic/stab vests. This advanced fabric offers four times the strength and abrasion resistance compared to the previously used 16oz canvas or P.V.C materials, resulting in even stronger and more durable manikins.
Key Features & Equipment Benefits:
- Realistic Weight Distribution: Anatomically correct weight distribution provides a lifelike representation of an unconscious casualty, enhancing the authenticity of training scenarios.
- Strong Webbing Loop: The manikin is equipped with a sturdy webbing loop, allowing for easy handling, hauling, storage, and suspension for drying purposes.
- Leg Protectors Included: Supplied with leg protectors, making it ideal for drag tests. Replacement plastic strips for the leg protectors and additional leg protectors are available for separate purchase.
- Water Repellent Material: The manikin is made from water-repellent material, ensuring its suitability for wet or foul conditions encountered during training.
- Soft Body Joints: Soft body joints eliminate the risk of pinch welts and bruising, which are common injuries associated with plastic-bodied manikins.
- Complete with Boots: The manikin comes with boots included, and they can be easily replaced if damaged.
- Used by Fire Services across the UK
- Additional Manikin Leg Protectors available - constructed using tough, heavy duty Nylon.

What are Ruth Lee training manikins used for?
Ruth Lee training manikins are designed for realistic rescue and emergency response training, including fire and rescue, confined space, offshore, maritime, and industrial scenarios. They simulate an unconscious casualty, allowing teams to practice lifting, dragging, recovery, and evacuation in controlled but realistic conditions
Why are Ruth Lee manikins considered realistic?
Ruth Lee manikins are built with anatomically correct weight distribution, which closely replicates the handling of an unconscious person. This provides a more realistic training experience compared to rigid or plastic manikins, improving casualty handling skills and decision-making under pressure.
How durable are Ruth Lee manikins?
Ruth Lee manikins are manufactured using flame-retardant polyester materials similar to those used in police ballistic or stab vests, offering up to four times the strength and abrasion resistance of traditional canvas or PVC. They are designed to withstand extreme conditions, including being dropped from height, driven over, or buried under debris without damage.
Which industries use Ruth Lee manikins?
Ruth Lee manikins are used globally by fire and rescue services, military organisations, offshore operators, maritime crews, police dive teams, and industrial safety teams. They are also specified by organisations such as the UK Ministry of Defence and widely used across emergency services.
Can Ruth Lee manikins be used in water or maritime rescue training?
Yes, specific models such as offshore and water rescue manikins are designed for maritime and man overboard training. These can simulate realistic water behaviour, including increased retrieval weight and natural body positioning in the water, making them suitable for vessel recovery drills and offshore scenarios.
What weights are available for Ruth Lee manikins?
Ruth Lee manikins are available in a wide range of sizes and weights to reflect real-life casualty profiles, from infant through to full-weight adult models. This includes baby manikins at approximately 5 kg, toddler models around 10 kg, youth models at 20 kg, and adult manikins typically ranging from 20 kg up to 90 kg.
What makes Ruth Lee manikins safer to use than plastic manikins?
Ruth Lee manikins feature soft body joints that reduce the risk of pinch injuries and bruising during training. This makes them safer for repeated use in hands-on rescue exercises compared to rigid plastic alternatives.
Do Ruth Lee manikins require maintenance?
Ruth Lee manikins are designed for low maintenance. They should be cleaned appropriately after use, especially in contaminated or wet environments, and allowed to dry fully. Replaceable components such as boots and protective covers help extend the lifespan of the manikin.
How do I choose the right Ruth Lee manikin for my needs?
Choosing the right Ruth Lee manikin depends on your training environment and scenario. For example, water rescue or man overboard training requires a water-compatible manikin such as a 40 kg MOB model, designed to behave realistically in the water and during recovery. For emergency response scenarios such as EMS, police, or fire and rescue training, an all-round manikin like the Duty Range Manikins are typically used, offering durability and realistic casualty handling across a wide range of situations.
How much does a Ruth Lee man overboard (MOB) manikin weigh when wet?
Ruth Lee man overboard (MOB) and water rescue manikins are designed to increase in weight when immersed, creating a more realistic recovery scenario. A typical adult MOB manikin may have a dry weight of around 40kg, but this can increase significantly during recovery due to water ingress.
Do you have NATO stock numbers for the manikins?
Yes, NSN numbers are available for several Ruth Lee manikins. Where applicable, these are listed within the ‘Key Features’ and ‘Datasheets’ sections on the relevant product pages, along with supporting technical information which can be downloaded.
