Raft Stand – Quay
The Raft Stand – Quay is a marine-grade equi(a-miljo.se)front installations where organised mounting of rescue equipment, durability and low maintenance are essential.
- Designed for quay, port and industrial waterfront environments
- Holds rescue raft, ladder, hook and lifebuoy components
- Aluminum construction with stainless-steel fittings
- Maintenance-free design for long outdoor service life
- Available in aluminum or powder-coated yellow finish
- Built for clear visibility and structured safety installations
Built for exposed marine conditions, the stand supports long-term operational reliability while helping keep lifesaving equipment visible, accessible and correctly positioned.
The bright, professional finish contributes to clear visibility and establishes a uniform safety standard across quays, ports, and industrial waterfronts.All Shore Safety lifesaving products comply with the requirements of the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) and meet European safety and durability standards.
Product overview
Quay environments require rescue equipment to be mounted in a way that is easy to see, easy to access and durable enough for constant outdoor exposure. In ports, industrial quays, ferry terminals and other waterfront sites, loosely placed rescue components can reduce visibility and slow response time during an emergency.
The Raft Stand – Quay is developed as a dedicated mounting solution for Shore Safety rescue equipment in quay settings. Instead of treating each component as a separate installation, the stand provides a structured setup with pre-fitted mounting positions for a rescue raft, ladder, hook and lifebuoy. This creates a more organised and reliable safety point.
Compared with simpler mounting arrangements, a purpose-built stand improves consistency, visual order and accessibility. The lightweight aluminum frame makes handling and installation easier, while stainless-steel fittings and durable brackets help the structure perform in corrosive coastal and marine conditions.
For many waterfront projects, clearly organised rescue equipment supports safer planning, easier inspection routines and alignment with site-specific safety requirements. The stand is especially relevant where robust outdoor installations and dependable emergency access are part of the operational brief.

Installation
The Raft Stand – Quay should be installed in clearly visible and easily accessible positions along quay edges and waterfront operating areas where rescue equipment may be needed quickly. Placement should support fast recognition from a distance and allow unobstructed access to the mounted raft and complementary rescue components.
The stand is suited for stable quay surfaces and should be positioned so that the equipment remains organised without interfering with pedestrian flow, transport routes or maintenance access. In exposed marine settings, installation planning should consider visibility, reach, local site conditions and the overall safety layout of the quay environment.

Design Features
Maintenance-free construction
The aluminum frame is designed for long-term outdoor use with minimal service requirements. This helps reduce upkeep in marine and coastal environments where corrosion resistance is essential.
Purpose-built equipment layout
The stand is adapted for organised mounting of a rescue raft, ladder, hook and lifebuoy. This creates a clearer and more reliable installation than using separate mounting points.
Lightweight but durable frame
The aluminum construction keeps the stand easier to handle during transport and installation while still delivering the rigidity needed for permanent quay-side use.
Corrosion-resistant fittings
Stainless-steel fittings are used in key connection points to improve durability in harsh waterfront climates exposed to moisture, salt and changing temperatures.
Clear visual presence
The stand is available in natural aluminum or powder-coated yellow, making it easier to align the installation with site visibility needs and broader safety design standards.

Which environments is this stand designed for?
It is designed for quays, ports, marinas and industrial waterfront environments. These locations often need durable, clearly visible and low-maintenance rescue equipment installations.
What materials is the stand made from?
The stand uses an aluminum tube frame with stainless-steel fittings and high-strength plastic brackets. This combination provides low weight, corrosion resistance and good long-term outdoor durability.
Does the Raft Stand require maintenance?

Does the stand require regular maintenance?
It is designed as a maintenance-free or very low-maintenance solution. The corrosion-resistant materials help the stand retain function and appearance in exposed marine environments over time.
What equipment can be mounted on the stand?
The stand is prepared for mounting a rescue raft and complementary lifesaving products such as a ladder, rescue hook and lifebuoy. The exact setup can depend on the site and project configuration.
Is the stand suitable for coastal climates?
Yes. The material combination is selected for demanding marine and coastal conditions where moisture, salt exposure and weather changes place high demands on durability.
Where should the stand be positioned?
It should be placed where rescue equipment can be identified and reached quickly. Good installations balance visibility, safe access, stable mounting and compatibility with the overall quay layout.
Is this a complete rescue station?
No. This page describes the stand itself as a spare part or mounting component. It is the support structure used to hold and organise other lifesaving products.
