ABSTRACT:
A personnel transfer device is provided including a base, a top and a concentric lacings extending between the base and top. An expander post is coupled between the base and top for placing tension in the lacings extending between the base and the top. A hoist connection is provided for attachment of the personnel transfer device to a hoist so that the personnel transfer device may be lifted to transfer personnel therein from one place to another. The lacings are flexible when relaxed, and become taught when placed in tension. There are spaces between the taught lacings for easy ingress and egress and the taught lacings act to shield the occupants in the transfer device from inadvertent side impacted. The expander post is removable so the base and top can be collapsed together for compact storage.
