The ResQmax is a new
generation line-throwing appliance specifically designed to deploy a line
only, or an auto-inflating flotation sling & retrieval line to an otherwise
inaccessible point in both land based and maritime environments, providing
an emergency response capability without putting the rescuer at risk.
- Utilizing a patented
air-thrust technology, the ResQmax is non-pyrotechnic, re-usable and
refillable
- Launcher assembly
housings are injection molded from polycarbonate, for high impact
resistance
- 3000psi/207bar
service pressure projectiles.
MAXIMUM
DISTANCE
The ResQmax is capable of deploying a line up to 230 meters depending on the
service pressure, weight of line and type of the projectile used.
MAXIMUM SAFETY
- The safety mechanism
is "always-on", re-setting automatically when a projectile is inserted.
- The projectile's
"push-click" engagement allows easy reloading, even in the dark.
- A pressure relief
burst disk prevents unsafe pressure build-up that could result from
exposure to extreme heat.
MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE
Multi-Shot Capacity. Our patented nozzle valve now permits any number of
projectiles to be pre-charged and stored with the unit, allowing deployment
of multiple projectiles in rapid succession.
MAXIMUM VERSATILITY
- Sling
Projectile
The sling projectile will deploy an auto-inflating flotation
collar and retrieval line to a victim in the water. The inflatable sling
is fitted with a water activated device which inflates the sling
automatically on contact with water, providing sufficient buoyancy to
support a 300lb/136kg victim.
- Folding Stock
Option
A 12in/30cm folding stock is available for greater accuracy of
deployment and serves as a convenient carry handle in the collapsed
position.
- Line
Projectile
The line projectile will deploy a variety of lines over a range
of distances, depending on the service pressure and the type of line
used.
- Mooring Line
Grappling Hook
A fixed hook with three non-barbed tines is fabricated from
titanium.
- Cordura Kit
Carry Bag
Cordura
fabric carry bag is designed for durability and convenience. Features
reinforced water-resistant vinyl bottom and reflective strips.
- Rigid Rail
Case
The rigid rail case is designed to fasten to the rail of a
vessel.
