Description:
A nimble rescue raft for working crews. The NRS R120 Rescue Raft is built around a swiftwater rescue crew, with the quick, responsive handling needed in debris-filled floodwater and remote backcountry rivers (NRS item 86092.01). It seats six paddlers plus one in the stern, or it can be rigged with a rowing frame and a motor mount for an outboard. See our full line of rescue boats and boards.
Features
- Welded advanced-formula PVC: seam-welded construction for abrasion resistance, long life and air retention.
- Rigid drop-stitch floor and thwarts: a 4" floor insert and 7.75" x 10.5" thwarts inflate to 8-10 psi for stiff, responsive handling.
- Pressure relief valve on every chamber: keep the raft inflated without worrying about blown baffles.
- Built to be lowered: floor slots and D-ring placement let you run webbing through to suspend the raft and lower it into position.
- Foot cups and interior handles: six foot cups are included to anchor crew members in rough water.
- Removable thwarts: the Batten Attachment Thwart system lets you pull the thwarts out easily.
- Reinforced where it wears: frame wear patches on the tube tops and extra material on the bottoms of the side tubes.
- High visibility: reflective patches, hi-vis fabric and logos alert victims and the public to your mission.

Questions about the R120 Rescue Raft
How many rescuers fit in the R120?
It accommodates six paddlers plus one in the stern. You can also rig it with a rowing frame and a motor mount for an outboard.
Can the R120 be lowered by rope?
Yes. Slots in the floor and the D-ring placement let you thread webbing through so the raft can be suspended and lowered into position.
Will it stay afloat if a chamber is punctured?
It has seven air chambers in all: four outer chambers, the drop-stitch floor and two thwarts, so there is plenty of flotation left if one is damaged.
What comes with the R120?
An NRS Super 2 high-pressure pump, six foot cups and a repair kit. It carries a 3-year warranty.
Is it flame resistant or rated for fire use?
No. It is a water rescue boat made of PVC. It is not flame resistant, is not structural firefighting equipment and is not NFPA 1971 certified, so keep it away from fire and high heat.
