Lifetec Ruth Lee Bariatric Rescue Training Manikin
Lifetec Ruth Lee Bariatric Rescue Training Manikin
The bariatric manikin is built to the obese adult profile so a rescue team practises against the real problem: bulk as much as weight. Every unit in the range is 1.8 m and carries the same bulk as the heavier versions, which means the 50 kg unit trains the same awkward geometry as the 260 kg unit without asking the crew to lift it.
Four solid weights are listed, 50 kg, 90 kg, 180 kg and 260 kg, with the 180 kg and 260 kg units manufactured to order. A water fillable version is also offered: a suit that fits over an existing Duty manikin, listed at 90 kg and adding up to 150 kg once filled, so one manikin covers several load scenarios. The manikins in this range are manufactured in the UK.
Browse the full rescue training equipment range or the wider rescue range, and compare with the Lifetec General Duty Rescue Training Manikin. The Lifetec Heavy Duty Carrying Sheet is rated to 600 kg and works with the heavier weights in this range.

What makes the bariatric manikin different to a standard adult?
Bulk. Every weight in this range is built to the obese adult profile at 1.8 m and carries the same bulk as the heavier versions, so a 50 kg unit still trains the team on the size and awkwardness of a bariatric casualty without the full load.
Which weights are held and which are built to order?
The 50 kg and 90 kg units are the standard offering. The 180 kg and 260 kg units are manufactured to order.
How does the water fillable option work?
It is a suit that fits over an existing Duty manikin. Listed at 90 kg, it adds up to 150 kg once filled, so a crew can dial the load up or down for the drill.
Who trains with a bariatric manikin?
Fire and rescue services, industrial and confined space rescue teams, height safety crews planning bariatric retrieval, and training providers running manual handling and casualty movement courses.
