Express ProductsCreate a highly visible, protective station for your life buoy ring or torpedo buoy with a Guardian™ Life Ring Cabinet.
Manufactured with tough Durapol™ polymer, Guardian Life Ring Cabinets are designed with features that deter thieves and vandals, while protecting the life-saving equipment inside from UV rays which can degrade its material over time.
In the event of an emergency in the water, access to a life preserver ring or other PFD with an attached floating throwing line is critical.
For increased visibility, Guardian Life Ring Cabinets are available in bright red and white or yellow and white to create an obvious contrast in color.
Designed for USCG Approved Ring Buoys
The size of life buoy ring you require may also depend on your own industry’s guidelines and regulations.
Guardian Life Ring Cabinets are available in two models to store the United States Coast Guard approved 24 inch and 30-inch diameter life rings.
Attractively molded to the shape of a ring buoy, these ring buoy cabinets can be securely mounted to a wall, railing or on to a post to create an easily recognizable ring buoy station.
These cabinets also offer the flexibility to store different types of throwable lifesaving devices and have been specially designed with a universal fit to house life rings or torpedo buoys made by different manufacturers.
Built-in Safety and Inspection Features
To increase the speed and ease of deploying the life preserver ring and rope, Glasdon life ring cabinets include the Ropemaster™ Quick Release Rope Management System as standard. The system accepts a rope up to 164' long.
During install or when replacing the life ring, the rope is wound tightly around the central device guided by the molded-in rope and buoy retention tabs. The ring buoy is then placed over the retention tabs and pressed to sit compactly around the rope.
On deployment, the built-in ‘grab handle’ recess allows the rope to be gripped with one hand and removed from the device in a neat loop, leaving the other hand free to take and throw the life preserver ring toward the victim.
Easy to understand, step-by-step instructions with images show the user how to remove the ring buoy and rope quickly.
Guardian Life Ring Cabinets also feature an inspection indicator built in to aid quick and easy inspection. The white indicator appears in the window when the cabinet door has been opened.
