How to tell if you Need Fire Extinguisher Brackets versus Stands

Given that The Order requires that these be placed in ubiquitous locations inside any building, careful consideration must therefore be made as to the proper storage and location of these extinguishers; they must be easily accessible yet protected from external damages. One perfect solution for this is the fire extinguisher bracket. Compared with fire stands, these brackets offer added protection by storing fire extinguishers away from where they can usually be damaged-whether the dame inflicted in intentional or not.

Fire extinguisher brackets are perfect for mounting fire extinguishers of varying types such as C02, water, foam and wet chemical extinguishers to name a few. These brackets can be easily installed on any sturdy wall and can be used for extinguishers that range anywhere from 1-5 kgs. One of the benefits of using fire extinguisher brackets is that they make it easier to use the fire extinguisher in cases of emergency. This is because it is easier to dislodge the extinguisher from the bracket than it is to lift it up from the floor (when it is placed on a stand). Another advantage is that these brackets store the extinguishers in a way that they are not prone to toppling over especially when the foot traffic in a particular area is heavy-for example, school hallways and passages. At the same time, when the floor space inside an office, a workshop, or any similar space is smaller than usual, then mounting fire extinguishers using fire extinguisher brackets frees up floor space while providing fire safety at the same time.

In choosing which fire extinguisher bracket to use, you must check the type of extinguishers that you have in the premises. For example, there are mounting brackets that are perfect for 1-2 kgs of foam or water fire extinguishers, while there are those that can hold C02 fire extinguishers that can weigh as much as 5 kgs. Several types are perfect for any need, for example, lighter fire extinguishers could use the J-brackets that look like the letter "J" when viewed from the side; the lug brackets that are perfect for heavier extinguishers; and shoulder brackets. There are also the transport brackets that are perfect for moving vehicles.

Mounting fire extinguishers is just another way of ensuring accessibility to fire safety equipment within any building premises. In doing so, you must ensure that you consider and follow the main principles of mounting fire extinguishers to any wall: first, using the right type of bracket; second, installing them in the appropriate locations; and third, placing a fire safety sign near the bracket.
