Guardian™ Lifebuoy Housing

The Guardian™ Lifebuoy Housing unit offers the ideal protection for lifebuoys and the B-Line™ rescue throwing buoy.

Guardian™ Lifebuoy Housing

Built with Durapol™ material, the unit can withstand extremes of temperature, to protect the life-saving devices inside from harmful UV which can degrade the equipment.

The Housings also act as a deterrent to vandals and thieves, reducing the frequency of costly Lifebuoy replacement.

Glasdon lifebuoys are fully compliant with Chapter III of the Life Saving Appliances code as per the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).

The Guardian™ Lifebuoy Housing is available in two sizes and can be wall, rail or post mounted.

  • The 750 Housing can hold up to two B-Line™ throwing buoys or one 750mm or 600mm lifebuoy.
  • The 600 Housing can hold up to two B-Line™ throwing buoys or one 600mm lifebuoy.
  • Personalised external graphic with additional instructions or warnings along with your company or authority branding.
  • Fixings kits – choose from wall, rail and post mounting fixing kits. Post-mounting fixing available with either surface-mounting post or below-ground installation.
  • Inspection window – easily view the contents inside without disturbing the door.
  • Lid stay – helpful when the cabinet is mounted to a pole. The lid stay securely props the lid open during inspection.
