Inflatable walkway

compact when deflated

More reliable and better value

A rigid inflatable walkway suitable for ice and mud rescue as well as providing emergency flotation for use in shallow water.

A drop-stitch elastomeric coated material is used which, when inflated to the working pressure, becomes rigid. The unit is compact when deflated and can be easily carried.

Checkmate has developed a method of sealing the edges which is robust and achievable at a low cost, making our inflatable walkways longer lasting, more reliable and better value. A non-slip surface has also been developed, making the unit very user-friendly.
