Techfloat Lift & Rescue Device

The TechFloat is a throwable, effective inflatable rescue device for all-season swift & still water/ ice rescue that has incorporated lifting capability.

Worn with an over-the-shoulder strap, the TechFloat allows the victim to be connected to the rescuer at all times, leaving both hands free. The inflatable can be easily removed from its valise, and thrown to the victim.

After automatic activation on water contact, the victim places the inflated bladder around themselves, and the rescuer is free to hoist them to safety by means of the 100 foot floating line attached between them.

  • Provides superior floation
  • Ideal for rescue missions in water/ice
  • Keeps head & shoulders effectively out of the water
  • Quick option of disconnect
