Reversible Series Life RaftManufacturer: Revere |
Approval & Quality ControlOur vast technical expertise as well as on-going research and development program ensures the highest quality products from RFD/Revere. Multiple Military Approvals WorldwideSpecifically designed to provide our customers with the most effective means of surviving in the case of a water ditching, RFD/Revere’s inflatable liferafts meet numerous approvals worldwide. Our unique canopy design and inflatable boarding ramp can be found on board U.S. Coast Guard cutters for their own use in case of an emergency. Tested in actual sea disasters, our rafts have saved lives, including two men off the coast of Hawaii who were forced to survive in the ocean for 28 days. CanopyThe "R" Series liferaft is guaranteed to inflate upright 100% of the time. The patented hinge canopy arch tube design allows easy assembly of the canopy regardless of how the raft inflates in the water. Once erected, the canopy offers superior exposure protection to survivors. When lowered, it provides excellent sea rescue by overhead helicopters or rescue craft. The protective arch tube cover adds even more stability to the raft by becoming a skirt around the raft to prevent wind from undermining the tube to water adhesion. U.S.C.G. approved retro-reflective tape on the canopy and inflation tubes allow the raft to be pinpointed by rescue craft at night. Boarding RampThe biggest problem faced by a survivor after a plane ditching in the water is hypothermia. Therefore, getting out of the water as soon as possible becomes the survivor’s first priority. The RFD/Revere inflatable boarding ramp addresses that most immediate problem and gives all survivors the best and most efficient method of boarding the liferaft with the least amount of effort. The boarding ramp also serves as a guide leading to the entrance of the raft, saving valuable time in the survivor’s fight against hypothermia. Tests show that people either injured, or simply of average physical abilities, do best with an inflatable boarding aid. Proven to work in the harshest sea conditions, the RFD/Revere inflatable boarding ramp design saves the lives of passengers and pilots in the North Sea and elsewhere in the world. This inflatable boarding ramp is the same design required by the U.S. Coast Guard for use on all of our marine liferafts. Remember, if you can’t get in the liferaft, it can’t help save your life! DurabilityDouble buoyancy chambers are manufactured from a specifically formulated polyurethane (PU) proofed nylon fabric. This fabric is highly resistant to abrasion and impervious to corrosion in the marine environment. Far more durable than rubber-based fabrics, the reduced need for repairs results in considerable savings in servicing costs. Welded seams, significantly stronger than glued seams, give the raft an extremely rugged construction. StabilityActual survival situations in the heavy wave conditions of the North Sea have consistently proven that the suction design of the "R" Series tubes work! Stowage OptionsAll RFD/Revere aviation liferafts are available in a wide variety of valise and hard packed stowage sizes. VisibilityFor optimum visibility, the "R" Series bright yellow canopy incorporates retro-reflective strips. The dry cell automatic sea light meets the SOLAS 2-mile visibility requirement and exceeds the recommended life duration of 12 hours. To conserve energy, the light can be switched off during the day. Equipment PackAll RFD/Revere aviation liferafts come equipped with FAR-91 or FAR-135 equipment packs |
