50kg Professional Adult Training Manikin - Advanced Duty Plus Simulation Dummy - 50kg Weighted Training Mannequin
The Duty Plus Manikin is the ideal training tool for confined space, RTC (Road Traffic Collision) extrication, and handling exercises. It features extra rigidity in the neck, chest, and torso, providing a more realistic "conscious casualty" experience.
Advanced Duty Plus Training Manikin - Professional 50kg Adult Simulation Dummy - Weighted Training Mannequin
Optimised Training Manikin Design with the Duty Plus
Ruth Lee have designed the Duty Plus 50kg Adult Manikin to be the ideal training partner for a range of scenarios such as confined space, RTC extrication, and general handling. With added rigidity in the neck, chest, and torso, the Duty Plus acts like a conscious casualty, providing an immersive training experience. Constructed with a plastic spine to prevent head flopping, the manikin also features an anatomically correct weight distribution, water-repellent material, and soft body joints to eliminate injury risks. The strong webbing loop makes handling easy, while an optional shoutbox allows for personalized messages to be recorded. The Duty Plus comes with boots and overalls and is tough enough to withstand challenging scenarios.
The Duty Plus model also has normal weighting so should not be used in deep water. For deep water rescue scenarios use the Man Overboard Dummy which is designed to float appropriately.

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.
