Description
The compact Rescue Basket has been selected as standard equipment aboard all US Coast Guard rescue helicopters. It is also in service with the US Air Force, US Navy and foreign governments. The Rescue Basket is constructed almost entirely of welded type 304 stainless steel, making it virtually maintenance free. The bail assembly folds into the basket for compact stowage. The structural integrity of the bail is provided by ¼" stainless steel cable acting as the hinge point. The cable routing through the tubing makes for a virtually fail-proof design. The bottom is enclosed with a plastic, semi-rigid net liner with 1" openings. The Rescue Basket possesses excellent flotation characteristics and is positively self-righting with 100% reserve buoyancy. The float covers are constructed of 1050 denier nylon ballistic cloth with a marine urethane coating. Each cover is printed with safety pictorials and has high intensity retroreflective markings.
