OLD Rescue Station, Quay
The Shore Safety Rescue Station – Quay is a complete lifesaving system, specially designed for high quay environments where maximum reach and visibility are essential.
Each station includes a 3-meter post with fittings, a type-approved 4-meter rescue ladder, a rescue hook, a lifebuoy, and a reflective location sign.

The station can also be equipped with a fire cabinet, providing a complete safety solution that combines lifesaving and fire protection in one professional installation.
All Shore Safety rescue products comply with the requirements of the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) and are designed for long-term use in demanding marine environments.
