IONIC Ranger 470 Craft

SKU: SAF38016

The Ranger 470 Rescue Craft is designed and manufactured in the UK to meet the specific requirements of emergency service rescue teams for inland and coastal search & rescue and flood rescue operations. The design provides both stability and high speed capability and has one of the largest load capability and has one of the largest load capacities in its class, at 1300kg.

It is designed to be lightweight for easier manual handling and can either be trailer mounted which is recommended for larger power units or transported in a valise/stowage bag.

The high-pressure Deck and Keel design is built using a calculated interference-fit construction method, so when the sections are fully inflated, they lock onto each other. Constructing the craft using this method provides additional strength and rigidity to the craft enhancing performance and stability of the craft without the need for rigid components. The Deck and Keel arrangement for this craft provide a shallow V-shape hull for high speed capability and low speed tracking.

The craft is fitted with capsize re-right lines, and external and internal lifelines that are attached to the Sponsons together with a Deck lifeline that enables operators to adopt a low brace position during adverse operating conditions.

The Ranger 470 Sponsons have five separate air chambers with Interconnecting valves between each chamber. Each chamber has an inflation/deflation valve which are rated for rapid inflation using high pressure air cylinders or by using a conventional hand/foot pump. PRV’s (Pressue Relief Valves) are fitted to both the Sponsons, Keel and Deck for additional safety when inflating using compressed air cylinders.
