OLD Lifesaving Raft Station, shore
The Lifesaving Raft Station is built for durability, visibility, and reliability in demanding shoreline environments. Its two-leg support frame provides a stable base on sandy or uneven ground, while all components are corrosion-resistant and designed for long service life under constant exposure to saltwater, UV radiation, and wind.
The lifesaving raft offers a stable platform for retrieving a person and beginning on-water care, while the Classic rescue ladder serves dual purposes — allowing safe ascent from the water and functioning as a stretcher when reversed. The lifebuoy provides immediate flotation, and the rescue hook extends reach for difficult rescues.
A high-visibility location sign with reflective elements ensures the station is easy to spot from both land and water, even in low light. Following best practice guidance for Public Rescue Equipment (PRE), this all-in-one unit streamlines rescue operations, shortens response time, and provides efficient, multifunctional safety coverage for beaches, bathing zones, and marinas.
Product description
The Lifesaving Raft Station – Shore provides a comprehensive safety solution for beaches and waterfronts, combining multiple lifesaving tools in one coordinated system. The station’s two-leg support frame ensures stability even in sandy or uneven terrain, while the highly visible design helps beach visitors easily identify the rescue point from a distance.
The included lifesaving raft serves as a rescue platform, enabling rescuers to pull a person safely from the water and begin CPR directly onboard. The Classic rescue ladder (3 meters) ensures safe re-entry from the water and can also be used as a stretcher in emergency situations.
The lifebuoy and rescue hook provide versatile tools for reach-and-retrieve operations, and the reflective location sign ensures the station can be located quickly — even at night or in poor weather conditions.
The entire structure is designed for durability, corrosion resistance, and low maintenance, making it ideal for long-term use in coastal conditions.Designed to meet MSB requirements and good practice coastal rescue guidelines
