The Lalizas HRU is produced in the EU, in accordance with SOLAS/MED/USCG regulations. All units are made in Greece, in the same factory premises where the firing mechanism for the Lalizas inflatable lifejackets is also manufactured; a very well-established product in the market for more than 20 years.

It is tested and approved by one of the most demanding notified bodies in the category of lifesaving appliances, the FORCE Certification A/S.

Designed to automatically activate in a depth of between 1.5 and 4m, no spare parts or maintenance is required and a replacement needed 2 years after installation on board. Its maximum lifetime is 5 years after the production date.

Charlie Mill, Managing Director of Lalizas UK comments ‘We are delighted to be adding this new HRU into our safety range here in the UK, providing us with an ideal alternative solution to other SOLAS/USCG approved brands on the market. In times like these, it’s important to keep moving forwards and we are proud to be part of a group of companies, who are striving to develop products, to better serve maritime professionals around the world.’

Placing safety as a top priority, Lalizas covers all forms of safety solutions that can be delivered aboard cruise vessels, commercial ships or oil rigs. FFE, LSA and PPE, such as liferafts, lifejackets, immersion suits, lifejacket lights, lifebuoy rings & lights, PSK & GSK for polar environments as well as breathing devices, are developed by the Lalizas in-house R&D, Design, and Quality Departments with the latest technology and highest standards.
