PRO MODEL
RESCUE SLED
US Utility Patent 5,354,222 and
other patents pending.
Used by top watermen
and Rescue Professionals
for 20 years!
The Extractor PRO model has been an industry standard for quick rescue
pickups in the surfline, rivers and other near shore situations. This model,
due to its size and weight, is designed for use with pwcs where a single
rescue operator is available to operate the pwc, or may be used in situa-
tions where a rescue swimmer is used to assist the victim.
Used by surfers around the world, the tapered tail makes it very easy to
paddle up on the deck of the sled, for those doing step-offs or tow-at surf-
ing. The tapered tail also makes it easier to place unconscious, handi-
capped, or incapacitated victims onto the deck of the sled.
Recommended for three-seater pwcs for all types of waterborne rescue
operations or recreational activities, including tow-in surfing.
Molded Linear Low Density Polyethylene shell
(Highly U.V. Resistant from
degradation or color fade, will not become brittle or fade from sun exposure
like ABS plastic skins and polyethylene foam skins, exceptional rebound
and tensile strength-will not crack, high flexural modulous, maintains overall
shape, physical properties and will not warp under normal operating cli-
mate conditions, resistant to all chemicals. Monolithic molded part without
laminated skins. Will not delaminate from water invasion at the seams.
Easy to mend with plastic welder, resistant to folding or creasing under
manufacturer
recommended use guidelines.
• Length: 63 in. (160 cm) • Width: 38in. (96.5cm)
• Thickness: 3.85 in. (10cm) at thickest point, Tail is tapered at 2.5 in.
(6.75 cm) thick
so that the sled will not have too much flotation, and will
sink a few inches under water while the pwc is at idle.
• Capacity: 400lbs.(180 kg) or two adults.
• Pro Sled Weight: is approximately 45 lbs (20 kg)
• Tie Down version is standard
• 3/8" thick PVC Foam Deck Pad - Very Comfortable
(Durable and provides the right amount of traction. Non-slippery like the
polyethylene bodyboard foams or non textured PVC foams. Non-Abrasive
and will not create skin rashes like textured medium density EVA Trac-Top
type foams)
• 8 Handgrips Standard
or 10 Handgrips (Last Chance Handgrips as an
option) Made from 5000lb test nylon webbing, overmolded with proprietary,
flexible elastomers, very durable and resistant to the elements. Handgrips
are anchored to the sled hull using 7000lb test brass mold-in inserts and
stainless fasteners. Fasteners are secured from backing out using Lock-tite.
You will not find a more comfortable secure-feeling handgrip!
Vibration Issues- The PRO Extraction Sled utilizes flexible linear low densi-
ty polyethylene, flexible urethanes or EVA copolymers as bumpers at the
connecting points, and a cushioning deckpad. All of these items have been
used to reduce vibration caused from pwc motors.
MEGA MODEL PWC SLED
• Recommended for three seater pwcs where more room is needed for
passengers, for SCUBA, for spearfishing, for tow boards, or for hauling lots
of equipment.
• Rotomolded Polyethylene Hull, with molded polyethylene flotation foam
inner liner
(3/8” to 1/2 inch thick for stiffness and added flotation), hollow air
cavity..
• Length: 84 in. (206cm)
• Width: 42 in.(104cm)
• Max Thickness: 5.5 in. (14 cm)
• Weight: is approximately 70lb.
• Capacity: three people or 600lbs. (270kg)
• Available in Quick Hitch, Basic Tie Down or Intermediate Tie Down/Direct
Connect Versions
• 3/8" thick PVC Foam Deck Pad-Very Comfortable
(Durable and provides the right amount of traction. Non-slippery like the
polyethylene bodyboard foams or non textured PVC foams.Will not create
skin rashes like textured medium density EVA Trac-Top foams)
• EVA foam rail bumper pads available
• 8 or 10 or 12 Handgrips
(Last Chance Handgrips as an option)
• Vent/Drain Plug
• Cargo Webbing Loops Built into handles provide attachment points for
bungee lashing, cargo straps or rope grab lanyards. These are great for
securing surfboards, equipment, fishing gear, coolers, or fish kill bags.
• Hull Rocker and Rail configuration designed to provide maximum sled
contact with water surface and perform well behind a pwc. The "Gooseneck
nose or bow (patent pending), also relieves stress at the fulcrum point
where sled nose rests on pwc transom. Air pockets or phasers on hull
bottom provide hull strength and stiffness as well lift and less contact with
water surface. This combined with channels in hull direct water flow off of
sled tail rapidly. The result is a sled that creates less drag, tracks better
without fish-tailing, provides more traction through tighter turns without the
pwc sliding out, and higher pwc top speeds.
• Hand Grip/bumper Colors: Red, Black or Yellow
*Guaranteed to outlast any other pwc sled available in the world, provided
use and maintenance guidelines adhered to.
