PMB1800RM-1

OVERVIEW PMB1800RM is an outstanding mid-range buoy suitable for near shore/estuary locations. Consisting of 2 piece virgin MDPE, UV stable float sections filled with closed cell, water resistant polyurethane foam and built around an integral steel core incorporating both 2 x lifting and mooring eyes for optimum strength and reliability. The Modular superstructure is manufactured from ‘twin skin’ design virgin, UV stabilized MDPE offering strength and lightweight characteristics. The ‘flat’ base of the buoy makes it easy to handle and store both on land and on deck prior to installation and the modular, flexible design is adaptable to a wide range of Navigation Lights, Day/Top marks and solar panels etc. The standard range is augmented by bespoke products meeting your exact specifications or specialist needs. The flat base design of all products in the range ensures buoys stay upright in low-tide situations, are easily stored on vessel deck prior to installation and the galvanized steel core ensures absolute stability in rough seas and product integrity. The buoys are built to last in extreme conditions. Even if the skin is punctured, the close cell foam filled polyethylene hull sections negate water absorption and keep it fully operational. This makes the range especially good for housing and protecting technical equipment such as monitoring technology. The range has been designed for ease of installation and transportation. They can be shipped in sections and assembled or dissembled quickly on-site. The design of our Rotationally Moulded Polyethylene Buoys is meant to give customers the best of both worlds. They are lighter than steel, provide excellent performance, longevity and cost less. Maintenance is easy and a lower overall cost and a wide range of competitively priced accessories are available. OPTIONAL FEATURES Two piece float section Outstanding mid-range buoy Excellent stability Does not require painting Solar panels, Batteries Modular system Wide range of navigation lights accepted Each section can be colored to suit IALA specifications
