Placing

The raft is mounted on one side, while the lifebuoy, ladder, and hook are placed on the other. This design ensures that the rescue equipment is easily accessible from either side.
The station is anchored to both concrete and wooden quays using Shore Safety’s quay brackets or a concrete foundation. The raft is placed on the included brackets and secured with two steel wires.
