Features
- Similar in construction to theDuty Rangemanikins but utilises closed-cell foam to the trunk to provide greater rigidity and reduce ‘slumping’ when using a rescue harness.
- Tough Polypropylene plastic strips running from the shoulders to the knees (as in the Offshore model) prevents excessive flexing when used aloft.
- Anatomically correct weight distribution gives the ‘feel’ of an unconscious person - well suited to pole top or tower rescues.
- Realistic sizes and weights - will demonstrate the difficulties of dealing with an adult unconscious casualty
- Strong Polypropylene webbing loop to the back allows the manikin to be easily hauled into position prior to training.
- Strong enough to be dropped from 2 or 3 storeys with no damage - these manikins are tough!
- The Polyester is water repellent, making it suitable for training in wet or dry conditions as it can be easily cleaned and dried.
- Soft body joints eliminate the risk of pinch welts and bruising, a common injury when using plastic bodied manikins.
- Protective consumables including, coveralls and boots, greatly extend the life of the manikin and help save you costs.

The Working at Heights Manikin is a specialized training tool designed to realistically simulate a human body in scenarios involving elevated work environments. Used by industrial safety trainers, emergency response teams, and rescue instructors, this manikin provides essential hands-on practice for fall arrest techniques, suspension rescue drills, and safe working-at-height procedures. Engineered with reinforced materials and precise weight distribution, the manikin behaves like an unconscious person during suspension, making it suitable for use in harnesses, stretchers, and rescue systems. Its flexible yet durable joint structure allows it to withstand repeated drops, recoveries, and extractions from towers, scaffolding, rooftops, and confined spaces. Key Features: Realistic Weight & Movement: Mimics the size and weight of an adult with natural articulation at the joints for true-to-life handling. Harness-Compatible Design: Fits standard fall protection and rescue harnesses for suspended work simulations. Reinforced Construction: Tough, abrasion-resistant outer shell and internal frame withstand dragging, dropping, and vertical lifts. Flexible Limbs: Allows realistic limb positioning in harnesses and during rescue operations. Weather-Resistant: Built for use in outdoor and industrial environments.
