Rescue Boats & Accessories

Rescue Alive Ice Rescue Platform
Rescue Alive is a stable work platform for ice and water rescues. The weight distribution benefit of the unit allows a rescuer to traverse the surface of the ice or water to reach a victim. The rescuer always works above the victim from a position of control during the approach, during the rescue, and while being pulled back to shore. At no time is the rescuer required to enter the water or leave the safety of the platform during a rescue. As you evaluate ice rescue equipment, consider the benefits of standing and running to a victim as compared to crawling and/or swimming. Victims are secured in a patented harness that slides along the guardrails to avoid rough handling while, at the same time, avoiding heavy lifting for the rescuer.

Zodiac Rescue Boats
The stability of a Zodiac Rescue Boat, thanks to its large buoyancy tubes and low center of gravity, is such that under normal circumstances, it is practically impossible to capsize. This feature is essential for rescue and recovery operations. Zodiacs come in a large range of sizes and features. Running a Zodiac requires smaller outboards than conventional boats to provide better performance. The ERB line of boats rapidly inflate using a fire department's SCBA bottle, or a SCUBA tank. For more information on Zodiac Rescue Boats, contact Life Raft & Survival Equipment, Inc. in Portsmouth, RI (www.lrse.com) at 401/683-0307. Lifesaving Resources uses Zodiac Rescue Boats in our Water and Ice Rescue training programs, but we do not sell or distribute these boats.

Extractor RiverX Rescue Board
$575.00
The new generation in small, swift water, and ice rescue flotation devices, the RIVERx Rescue Board features improves function, durability and affordability over other existing products used today. Attributes include roto-molded superlinear polyethylene shell (like kayaks), drain/vent plug, dished deck, forearm elbow wells, 3/8" thick deck cushion, sturdy flexible handgrips for multiple persons or for body positioning, and holes for rope use in performing ferry angles and tethered ice rescues. The sled length provides extra flotation and torso and mid-thigh rock and debris protection, not available in traditional bodyboards. Not featured in any other swift water rescue or recreational river board (hydrospeed or sledge) on the market, are the deep channels and reverse chines. These are important features which enable the rescuer to direct and carve turns. Without them, the rescuer cannot adequately maneuver the board where he/she wants it to go, and a great deal of side skipping is experienced. The RIVERx is a very secure platform to operate, even while wearing a bulky PFD. Dimensions and Weight: 55" x 24" x 6" at thickest point, 18lbs. Materials: Rotomolded Polyethylene - Hollow Core with vent/drainplug (Same durable material used in plastic Kayaks!). Color:Yellow with Red Hand Grips and Black 3/8" thick comfortable PVC deck padding.
