Rescue Strop
A strong, durable and high-specification strop for Man OverBoard rescues in even the most demanding conditions.
SWL 150 Kg. Individually tested to 300 Kg by an independent specialist tester, and supplied with a Test Certificate.
Quickly and easily secured, either by placing the Strop over the head and then slipping the arms through, or by slipping it over the feet and working it up to the chest. NB Intended for rescuing uninjured personnel only.
