Product overview
In shore environments, lifesaving equipment must be clearly positioned, stable in use and easy to identify during an emergency. A dedicated raft stand helps organise rescue rafts and related rescue equipment in one visible location, improving readiness where fast response is critical.
The Raft Stand – Shore is developed as a purpose-built support structure for rescue raft installations near beaches, shoreline paths, swimming areas and other waterfront settings. Instead of relying on improvised mounting solutions, the stand provides a fixed and durable base for raft-related equipment and supports a more structured safety installation.
Its corrosion-resistant construction is suited to outdoor conditions with moisture, salt and changing temperatures. Pre-fitted brackets for a rescue raft and compatible lifesaving equipment make installation more consistent, while the clear layout improves accessibility for both bystanders and maintenance teams.
For projects involving public safety planning, the product supports structured rescue equipment placement and aligns with Shore Safety’s broader safety approach for waterfront environments.

Installation
The stand should be placed in clearly visible shore and waterfront locations where rescue equipment must be quickly identified and accessed. Suitable locations include beaches, shoreline promenades, swimming areas and other public waterfront environments. Position the stand so the raft and associated equipment remain unobstructed from common approach angles and easy to reach in an emergency. Installation should support stable ground-level placement and leave enough surrounding space for safe handling, inspection and maintenance. Where relevant, site planning should also consider signage visibility, pedestrian movement and proximity to other rescue equipment.
