Welcome to QUIKSLING LIMITED. This is our webshop.
We manufacture the patented man overboard recovering kit known best as the QUIKSLING.
From our manufacturing base at Peterhead in Scotland (U.K). we ship out internationally for all new-build vessels. We also supply for retro-fitting. Only some small bracket works are required to install the cabinet.
Here is one of two cabinets on the Lunar Bow PD 165, fitted by Karstensen's Shipyard DK.
From a high sided vessel, the QUIKSLING®️ can secure an overboard person to be hoist-ready within a few seconds.
it is a good option to have as it will be a very hard decision to risk the launch of a FRC with three crewmen in heavy seas.
Now a proven lifesaver, built to secure a person in rough seas, it is certified by Lloyd's Register for recovery up to 30m height. This certification proves it is a suitable means of rescue for all ocean traffic to carry. It is ideal for rapid deployment from big vessels and all offshore structures.
The question of unconscious recovery often arises when assessing the kit for the first time, before having the full understanding of its advanced purpose and effectiveness.
Most overboard persons will fall unconscious after being immersed in cold water for too long. The purpose of this equipment is to speedily and fully secure an able person for hoisting aboard from a 5-10m remote distance to eradicate the slowness of all two-step procedures which often create unconsciousness as the result.
We have proved that, where a QUIKSLING can reach out to newly immersed persons, our new tension-activated capture system can secure them to "hoist-ready" within seconds, whilst remote from the vessel.
Our contribution to overboard recovery is speed.
