Fire cabinet
The Fire Cabinet is a weather-resistant fire extinguisher cabinet designed for outdoor, marine and industrial environments where extinguishers must remain protected, visible and ready for use.
- UV-stabilized polyethylene construction
- Corrosion-free design for harsh outdoor environments
- Sealed door helps protect against water and dust
- High-visibility red housing for faster identification
- Available for 6 kg and 9 L / 12 kg extinguishers
- Can be mounted on Shore Safety posts with supplied bracket
Its impact-resistant construction and corrosion-free material make it a durable storage solution for long-term use in exposed waterfront and industrial installations.
Product overview
Fire extinguishers installed outdoors are exposed to rain, dust, UV radiation, salt-laden air and physical wear. In harbors, marinas, quays, industrial facilities and public outdoor areas, this exposure can reduce visibility, shorten service life and compromise readiness when equipment is needed quickly.
The Fire Cabinet is designed to protect extinguishers in these demanding conditions while keeping them accessible and easy to identify. The cabinet combines corrosion-free polyethylene construction with a sealed door design, making it suitable for installations where ordinary indoor storage solutions are not sufficient.
Compared with unprotected extinguisher placement, a dedicated cabinet helps improve durability, cleanliness and operational readiness. The bright red housing supports visibility in emergency situations, while the robust construction helps reduce damage caused by weather, impact and long-term outdoor exposure.
For projects where fire protection equipment must be placed in exposed environments, the cabinet supports practical planning, safer storage and a more durable installation strategy. It is especially relevant where equipment needs to remain available over time with minimal maintenance burden.
