The distance between the dock/bridge and waterline determines the choice of length. 3,5m ladder works for heights up to 1,8m. If dock is higher the 4.5m ladder is required.
Mounting screw is only included to our Livhanken ladders which are mounted on floating jettys. We have chosen not to include mounting screw in other products as the are mounted on varying types of ground.
On beaches, the equipment should be placed at most 100m apart. In urban areas and in ports, the equipment should be placed on land at a maximum of 200m intervals, should be reduced to 100m in areas where many people are staying. Fixed ladders are placed at maximum 50m intervals, should be reduced to 25m intervals in areas that tend to be crowded.
Lifebuoys should be checked regularly for damage, the same applies to the throwing line. However, Trygg-Hansa recommends that lifebuoys that are ten years or older to be replaced, the recommendation for the cast lines is five years. Both lifebuoys and cast lines are marked with year of manufacture.
During the peak season April-August, there is high pressure in the factory and the delivery time on lifebuoys with unique print is 4-5 weeks. Other times of the year the delivery time is 2-3 weeks. We usually have Trygg-Hansa lifebuoys without unique print for immediate delivery.
The difference is that the ladders included in the Rescue Post for dock are equipped with removable distances which help in keeping the ladder out from the dock / bridge when climbing.
The LSO (Swedish “Act on the Protection against Accidents”) regulates the extent to which a plant owner should keep with life-saving equipment. Read more about this under the heading “Law requirements” here on the website.
The life-saving equipment has a just as important a function during the winter as during the summer months and should therefore be available throughout the year.
Trygg-Hansa donates lifebuoys to all public waterside environments in Sweden that are available to the public.
A starting cost of 120SEK and 60SEK /succeeding lifebuoy is added when choosing a unique print. Ex. When ordering 10pcs lifebuoys with unique print (120 + 10×60 = 720 SEK + VAT)
