Techfloat Lift and Rescue
Device” for multi-season water rescue.
The Techfloat integrates a throw line with an under arm
inflatable device that provides 35 Lbs. of buoyancy. The
braided line and integrated tubular webbing combine to
provide 1,600+ Lbs. of lifting strength.
The unit was designed to be self-serviceable, and can be
used by Police and Fire Responders in multiple rescue
scenarios including:
- Swift Water
- Still Water
- Ice
- High Angle
The TechFloat is
worn with an over-the-shoulder strap, which connects the
rescuer directly to the victim and leaves both hands
free. The inflatable is removed from its valise, and
easily thrown to the victim. The unit comes with 100
feet of highly durable floating line and has
water-activated inflation. After activation, the victim
places the inflated bladder around themselves, and the
rescuer is free to retrieve the victim by means of the
line attached between them.
Lift
to safety
1,600+ Lbs lifting strength.
“Person in Water” (PIW) Rescue Responders now have a
device that combines buoyancy for the victim with 100
feet of floating line for two-handed retrieval. Over
1,600 Lbs. of lifting strength allow for individuals to
be hoisted to safety.
Superior
Flotation
35 lbs. Buoyancy
Switlik’s new Underarm Flotation Device (UFD) provides
35 Lbs. of buoyancy, keeping the PIW’s head and
shoulders out of the water more effectively than
traditional means of rescue flotation. This allows for
the victim to assist in their own rescue.
