Cradles are an important part of liferaft safety. They make it easy to mount your liferaft on deck, where it's easily accessible in an emergency. All of our cradles accept hydrostatic releases, which we highly recommend for added safety. A hydrostatic release deploys the raft and inflates it automatically when the release comes in contact with the water. All you and your crew have to do is jump or climb into the raft.
- Cradles are constructed of 1" (25mm) tube diameter 316 stainless steel
- They are designed to be mounted horizontally on deck
- Each cradle includes two adjustable straps
- The cradles can be padlocked for security (remember to unlock prior to departure)
