RibMat is a variant of the MobMat and is designed specifically for boats such as Ribs, Barges, Workboat or Motor boats with restricted lifting heights
Safety requirements have made Ribmat a valuable method for man overboard recovery on Workboats
These are normally bespoke made to the requirements of the boat lifting arrangement
The design is the same as MobMat but has a much lower Apex for the 'D Rings'
Examples in the pictures show deployment from a barge, and a test version being assessed by the RNLI
