Shannon Launch and Recovery System (SLARS) is a custom designed tractor and trailer specifically designed for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) to launch and recover Shannon-class lifeboats.

The carriage, mounted on tracked wheels, is used to transport a lifeboat from boathouse to sea.

The carriage can then be tilted, effectively acting as a slipway to launch the boat when released.

In some locations, the carriage is also a powered unit, to assist traction and movement.

The cab is fully waterproof, and the vehicle can be operated in 2.4 m (7.9 ft) of calm water.
