Ruth Lee Man Overboard Training Manikin

MAN OVERBOARD TRAINING MANIKINS

NATO STOCK NUMBER 6910-99-1519652

It is vital that effective MOB drills are conducted frequently with regular crew members on all vessels – these manikins have proven to be a vital tool in achieving that.

The secret to the performance of this manikin is the balance between the weighting and the buoyancy – the tough Nylon mesh carcass allows the water to penetrate rapidly and after a few minutes the legs will drop below the surface, resting at an angle of about 45 degrees with just the head and shoulders visable above the surface.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

This model can float horizontally or vertically to simulate a live person or dead body – it takes seconds to move the foam pieces in the overalls to achieve this.
A polypropylene loop to the back allows the manikin to be lowered into position or hung up to dry.
Bright orange overalls and SOLAS reflective tape on the head make the manikins very conspicuous in open water.
Polyethylene strips allow flexibility in and out of the water but prevent the manikin from bending in half when using stretchers or recovery devices like a Jason’s Cradle.
Protective overalls and boots are user replaceable and greatly extend the life of the manikin
