Description
Lifebuoy Offshore
This model is stronger due to the PVC body and increased weight. This also makes it suitable for simulating rescue operations from living quarters, engine rooms or oil rigs. This model will – especially when used in conjunction with the strong, protective overalls – withstand the rigors of regular exercises.
While the lifebuoy floats well in calm water, it is recommended to use some form of buoyancy aid in open seas or rough seas.
The offshore lifebuoy weighs 60 kg when dry and the body is made of a PVC body with mesh at the end of the arms, legs and head for increased drainage.
The offshore lifebuoy has, as standard with all Ruth Lee Water Rescue lifebuoys, a polypropylene webbing hook on the back for hauling in and hanging it to dry as well as SOLAS reflective tape on the head.
Although it does not have all the features of a standard water rescue lifejacket, the Offshore lifejacket is the perfect balance of functionality and value for money for those with limited storage space.
The body
The body is made of PVC with wire mesh at the ends of the arms, legs and head for better drainage. The offshore lifebuoy is equipped with heavy-duty, draining rubber boots that help protect the legs if the lifebuoy is dragged along walkways and corridors.
Overalls
The protective coverall is made of tough, high-density PU coated polyester, 320 gms (similar to the type of material used in bulletproof vests) with high-density polypropylene webbing and double-stitched in the most stressed areas.
