The Fibrelight Cradle is a Man Overboard Recovery Device that has the versatility to recover casualties into many different types and sizes of vessels. It can be operated by a single crewmember and used as a boarding ladder, and scramble net.

The Fibrelight Cradle is lighter, more compact, better value and a more versatile than any comparable MOB recovery device on the market. Made from carbon fiber reinforced material that contains carbon fibers which are five times stronger and twice as stiff than steel, and yet is about one third of the weight.

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 on rescue craft, rigid inflatables, ship lifeboats and marinas, however it is currently in use on many other vessels and in many diverse industries.
