Silzig lifebuoy

PLASTIMO - SILZIG LIFEBUOY - INNOVATIVE SAFETY

Quick to use, the Silzig life buoy has a cylindrical shape that allows easy passage through the water. This makes it easy to pull the castaway to the boat, whatever the weather. By passing the buoy under the armpits and closing the front of the buoy, the victim can be lifted aboard the vessel without the need for a hoist or ladder. Its two sturdy handles improve grip, making it easier and safer to get back on the boat.

The shape and lightness of the Silzig man-overboard lifebuoy mean it takes up very little space, making it easy to stow away and always at hand. This buoy will fit perfectly along a lanyard, balcony or at the bottom of a RIB in which there may not be much room for more conventional lifebuoys.
