Dry Hire Manikins
What is a dry hire manikin?
Our lightweight Dry Hire manikins provide a practical, realistic alternative to traditional foam-and-wire stunt dummies.
Fully articulated, poseable and easy to handle.
They are designed for productions, training providers and specialist organisations that require a convincing human form without the additional detail or on-set support.

How good are dry hire manikins?
Unlike basic foam-and-wire stunt dummies, our Dry Hire Manikins use an exclusive modular body design developed by Stunt Action Manikins (S.A.M.) Ltd.
The articulated joints allow the manikins to be positioned in natural human poses, helping them sit, lie or occupy a vehicle more convincingly than a rigid dummy.
Their lightweight construction makes dressing, handling and repositioning easier, particularly when repeated takes or training scenarios are required.
Speak to us in advance if you require a particular body size, weight configuration, head or level of finish.
Not Suitable for Stunt or Impact Work
Dry hire manikins are not intended for stunt or action work.
Dry Hire manikins are intended for situations where lightweight handling, articulation and body shape and positioning are needed.
If you are unsure which option is right for your production or exercise, please tell us what the manikin needs to do, how closely it will be filmed or observed, and whether it will experience an impact, fall, collision, water or other specialist action, and we can advise on the best manikin option for you.
