RT RuthLee F&R Duty Manikin Gen2

Fire & Rescue Service Manikin. Rugged, realistic in size, weight distribution and handling characteristics. Upgraded to a polyester fabric shell material. Manufactured using a flexible inner core, an outer shell, and coverall.

The inner core is weighted to human proportions using 4.4 lb packets of aggregate. Heavier models 154 lb, 176 lb, and 198 lb may have steel shot added to create the correct weight and weight distribution. Do not use the heavier manikins for MRI training. For structural integrity, the packets are sewn to a nylon inner dummy with all the body parts (arms, legs, chest, etc.) held in place with polypropylene webbing.

The outer layer is a same flame retardant Polyester used in Police ballistic/stab vests, which typically has 4 times the strength and abrasion resistance of 16oz canvas or P.V.C. All seams are double stitched and are reinforced with high density polypropylene webbing. Includes storage loop to be used to hang manikin up to dry (NOT A DRAG HANDLE FOR TRAINING USE). The included washable coveralls protect the manikin from dirt and are reinforced with high density polypropylene webbing in high stress areas.

All manikins 44 lbs and up are supplied with lug sole boots that are secured to the manikin. The new shaped head, recently introduced, allows the fitting of most types of immobilization collars. The red head cover can be removed and washed if it becomes dirty. This new model replaces both the Original General Purpose and Haz-Mat Manikins. The Fire & Rescue Manikin works very well for Pole Top Rescue Training.

NOTE: Ruth Lee is the only manikin manufacturer that provides clothing with their products. All Ruth Lee Rescue Training Manikins include coveralls. Manikins 44 lbs and up also include lug sole boots. While the strength reinforced coveralls protect the manikin, they are not deemed Wear Proof. Their specific design is to provide a replaceable, washable layer that helps protect the manikin. The coveralls are designed to wear and must be replaced so that the manikin carcass is protected. Use of the manikins should mimic that of dragging a similarly dressed victim. The wear resistance of the coveralls should be considered to be on par with clothing normally worn by the victims. The included coveralls protect the manikin when used during rescue training. The coveralls are not designed to endure the rigors of firefighter drags or physical agility training. The coveralls and boots should be seen as disposable items and should be replaced when showing signs of wear or damage in order to protect the main body of the manikin. Additional clothing is suggested for use in these activities (Even the Combat Challenge dresses their manikins in turnout Gear for this competition). Treat the coveralls as clothing. They are NOT wear proof. Protect your investment.
