Are Vehicle Fire Extinguishers a Legal Requirement?
Not strictly, no. Obviously, we highly recommend that you keep an extinguisher somewhere easily accessible in your vehicle, for which our Car Fire Extinguisher options should prove tempting, but as a legal requirement, it is mainly goods vehicles that need to worry about extinguishers as an essential fixture.
According to the regulation, other vehicles that require fire extinguishers are passenger vehicles with more than eight seats, and also, unsurprisingly, tankers and vehicles carrying hazardous materials. Our range of extinguishers and associated boxes are designed to service any of these types of vehicles, as well as other larger transports such as mobile homes.
What’s Unique About Vehicle Fire Extinguisher Boxes?
For smaller vehicles, particularly cars where extinguishers are not a legal requirement, the storage solution in place can simply be a sturdy metal bracket. This should be fixed somewhere easily accessible, such as under the front passenger seat. On the other hand, typical fire extinguisher cabinets are designed to keep extinguishers safe and secure in a fixed location. They are thus free to give the extinguishers inside a little breathing room, as they are not expected to be moved about too much.
Vehicle Fire Extinguisher Boxes differ from both of these concepts. Of course, much like a standard cabinet, they are primarily designed to keep the extinguisher safe and secure against tampering and the elements, but an almost equal priority is restricting their movement as much as possible, so as to keep them in place while your vehicle is not. They achieve this with an internal retaining brace, that keeps the extinguisher flush against the interior. And, unlike an extinguisher bracket, these boxes are best-suited to being fixed to the underside of large vehicles in an accessible location.
