FRC Kits

MOB Recovery using the Jason's Cradle FRC (Fast Rescue Craft) Kit

The FRC kit consists of a Jason's Cradle with stowage bag and a fixing kit that enables the Cradle to be deployed on both the port and starboard side as required.

Deployment of the Cradle forms a non-collapsible scoop

The FRC approaches the casualty slowly, keeping them on the windward side and the casualty is guided in the Cradle headfirst

A strop is pulled to close the loop

A co-ordinated and methodical lift takes place and the casualty is retrieved by 'rolling' him over the tube into the rescue craft in the medically preferred horizontal position

Even with very heavy bodies the lift takes just a few seconds due to the Cradle's 2 to 1 mechanical advantage.
