POSEIDON-1750 1750mm dia. Ocean Buoy

The Sealite POSEIDON-1750 Buoy is manufactured from UV stabilized virgin polyethylene, has been specifically designed to withstand the harsh marine environment, and operate reliably with minimal maintenance.

POSEIDON-1750 1750mm dia. Ocean BuoyThe POSEIDON-1750 boasts a huge 23mm wall thickness, 2.5 meter focal height (up to 3 meters with extension) and is 1.75 meters in diameter - making it one of the toughest polyethylene buoys on the market.

Ports worldwide are realizing the advantages of polyethylene buoys over traditional steel models.

The POSEIDON-1750 is a lightweight, low-maintenance, cost-effective approach to traditional floating aids. The buoy consists of 3 parts; the flotation section, the mid-section and a navaid (top) section. This enables the individual coloring of each section during the molding process to meet IALA recommendations for specific installations, and cost-effective transportation.

The top section incorporates the solar modules, batteries, LED beacon and insertion fittings to accommodate top marks and accessories. This section is fitted with up to 60watt solar modules, charging up to 140Ah batteries. A watertight 316-grade stainless steel battery access door protects the internal components and connections of the unit. The Sealite SL125 LED lantern is readily fitted to the top of the buoy, and a 316-grade stainless steel grab rail is fitted below the top section - allowing for easy maintenance.

The float section contains internal stainless steel cross-braces, linking both sets of lifting and mooring eyes. This ensures mooring and lifting stresses are evenly shared across the structure. After ballast is added, the bottom section is filled with closed-cell polyurethane. The standing platform on the surface of the float section is molded with an anti-slip pattern, and conforms to CSIRO specifications.

All Sealite buoy products are manufactured on-site using proprietary machinery - please contact Sealite for ordering information, and latest container vessel shipping dates today.
