Reflex Marine Launch the all new TORO transfer device
Reflex Marine revolutionized the safety of offshore workers 10 years ago with the introduction of the Frog, which has been used to carry out millions of safe crane transfers globally.
Today Reflex Marine announces the launch of the new TORO personnel transfer capsule, which is expected to further enhance the safe use of crane transfers globally. Listening and learning from its clients, its passengers and regulatory bodies has allowed the company to develop an innovative new transfer device to meet the future needs of the market. The response from prospective users to date has been extremely positive.
Philip Strong, MD of Reflex Marine said ‘The TORO marks a significant milestone for the company and the industry generally. For over a decade we have been committed to providing safer transfer solutions. Our existing clients encouraged us to develop a new generation device, which would be more cost effective and convenient to use. This aim was to make it accessible to more operators whilst still maintaining a very high level of protection. The Frog will remain a key part of our product range, especially for client’s operating in highly challenging environments. However, we believe the TORO will increase the overall adoption rate of higher specification equipment and will protect more workers from unnecessary injury”.
The TORO can carry up to 4 passengers, protecting them from side impact and heavy landings and is also buoyant and self-righting just like the Frog. The TORO’s ergonomic seat design will allow it to be used without seatbelts (subject to company policy and local legislative requirements) and the arrangement of the seating will permit fast loading and unloading of personnel. The TORO, which fits into a standard shipping container, has been optimized for shipping and storage. As you would expect from Reflex Marine, The TORO will be certified with ABS Type Approval.
