RIB Retube FAQs
Question: Do you manufacture RIB self-righting bags?
Answer: Yes. Ribcollar manufactures and services RIB self-righting bags and associated inflatable systems for rescue, patrol, commercial, military and professional marine users.
Question: What is a RIB self-righting system?
Answer: A RIB self-righting system is designed to help a suitable vessel recover after capsize. The system normally includes an inflatable self-righting bag and associated fittings matched to the boat and its operating requirements.
Question: Can you replace an old self-righting bag?
Answer: Yes. Ribcollar assesses and replaces old or worn self-righting bags where the existing system is no longer suitable for service. We review the condition, fittings, fabric and intended use before recommending the correct route.
Question: How often should a self-righting bag be replaced?
Answer: Replacement timing depends on age, storage, use and inspection condition. As a practical guide, many operators review self-righting bags around the 10-year point, especially where the fabric has been folded, creased or exposed to hard service.
