HRUs

A Hydrostatic Release Unit (HRU) is a crucial safety device for SOLAS-regulated vessels, designed to automatically deploy liferafts or EPIRBs when a ship is sinking. Activated by water pressure at depths between 1.5 and 4 metres, the HRU ensures life-saving equipment is released and ready for use without manual intervention. In this article we explore the different types of HRUs currently in our range, including top models like the T-ISS Seamate Ve-1 and Hammar H20, highlighting their key features and the importance of regular checks.
