The Fibrelight Cradle is lighter, more compact , better value and more versatile than any comparable devices on the market. The Cradle requires only  regular inspections and minimal maintenance, so there is no requirement to pay for annual servicing.
The Cradle has been primarily designed for use by rescue craft, rigid inflatables, ship lifeboats and marinas, however it is currently in use on many other vessels and in diverse industries. The Fibrelight Cradle enables MOB recovery by one end of the Cradle being secured to the craft and the outboard end being held away from the boat by hand or boat hook. The MOB is then guided into the Cradle and once securely in the outboard end of the Cradle the casualty is then hauled in rung by rung. Using this parbuckling action the MOB is safely rolled up and over the side of the craft.

The following additional extras are offered:
– ATTACHMENT SLINGS; to add length and convert the cradle from 6-point linkage to 2 or 3-point linkage
– BALLAST RUNG; to offer sinkage in the middle rungs of the Cradle, particularly useful when operated from a davit
– EXTENDABLE RESCUE POLE; to assist with bringing the MOB towards the Cradle
- LOOP-THROUGH BAG; this enables the Cradle to be permanently attached whilst in its weather-proof carrier
