SOS Recovery Ladder - Man Overboard Rescue Ladder / Cradle

The SOS Recovery Ladder - Rescue ladder is a lightweight yet heavy duty piece of MOB equipment that functions as both a ladder and a man overboard cradle. The rungs of the ladder can be climbed, or a horizontal 'parbuckle' lift can be performed during a recovery — utilising a 2:1 leverage, with either halyard or block & tackle, attached to the bottom end lifting eye. This rescue ladder combine both simplicity and speed, as it can be quickly deployed in minutes, and fully operated by 1 person. 

Key Features & Equipment Benefits:

• Simplicity and speed: easy to deploy within minutes 
• One person operation, with the ladder being rolled out quickly and ready to be used
• Multifunctioning recovery / rescue ladder: able-bodied persons can climb the ladder, where an injured or disabled casualty can be lifted horizontally (medically preferred).
• Efficient stowage: the compact bag is a key feature of the man overboard ladder. Packed in a hi-vis neon yellow mesh bag that unfolds instantly
• Manufactured of heavy-duty wrap knitted polyester mesh
• 5 well-spaced ladder steps allow the crew or MOB to control the equipment easily as they climb back on-board providing stable foot and hand purchase.
