Sanitising on<br />
the docks<br />
Italian pedestal manufacturer Plus<br />
International is offering a wide range<br />
of floor-standing hygiene dispensers<br />
for marinas.<br />
The product launch came in time to<br />
meet new regulations for sanitiser to<br />
Hydrohoist launches<br />
larger storage locker<br />
be made available on marina pontoons<br />
in Italy (see article p. 29) and the<br />
likelihood that similar rulings may be<br />
introduced in other countries.<br />
Most models are customisable with<br />
marina logo and come in a choice of<br />
colour, design and material. Larger<br />
dispensers offer space for hand<br />
sanitiser, gloves, face masks and a<br />
waste bin. The smallest free-standing<br />
model (right) is a functional but stylish<br />
hand sanitiser pole which takes up little<br />
space and is ideal for marinas looking to<br />
provide a solution alongside each berth.<br />
Other options include a wheeled unit<br />
that can be moved between busy areas<br />
and a tabletop version with room for<br />
hand sanitiser and gloves.<br />
US-based HydroHoist Boat Lifts has released a new solution for dockside<br />
storage – the 78-inch (198cm) Rectangular HydroLocker.<br />
The HydroLocker series now offers<br />
two designs built to withstand harsh<br />
marine environments and manufactured<br />
using tough, UV-stabilised polyethylene,<br />
which is more resistant to cracking<br />
and longer lasting than glass fibre. The<br />
rotomoulded HydroLockers are impactresistant<br />
and virtually maintenancefree,<br />
accepting standard padlocks to<br />
securely store items inside.<br />
The new Rectangular version boasts<br />
25ft³ (7,800cm³) of storage capacity.<br />
The tongue and groove lid resists water<br />
penetration and the ribbed bottom of<br />
the locker provides better structural<br />
support, increases airflow and doesn’t<br />
trap water between the locker and dock,<br />
thus reducing wood rot and mould. It<br />
has a removable tray to accommodate<br />
smaller items or fishing rods. The unit<br />
can also be purchased with optional<br />
accessories like the Gas Shock Assist<br />
and Off Dock Mounting Bracket kits.<br />
The 50-inch Triangular version offers<br />
14ft³ (396,000cm³) of storage capacity,<br />
accommodating a water riser and hose<br />
storage. It integrates with a HyPower<br />
EnergyMate power supply for an allin-one<br />
water and power organisational<br />
tool.<br />
“We are proud to produce the most<br />
practical, durable and well-thoughtout<br />
products on the market,” said<br />
Mick Webber, HydroHoist CEO. “Our<br />
Triangular HydroLockers have been a<br />
huge success over the years, however<br />
we have seen increased demand for<br />
polyethylene dock lockers in additional<br />
sizes. The material is very popular<br />
due to the product being virtually<br />
maintenance free and they don’t get a<br />
chalk film or crack like fiberglass dock<br />
lockers. The new 78-inch Rectangular<br />
HydroLocker should be a<br />
necessary purchase for any<br />
boat owner.”<br />
