SB-1500

SB-1500 is a product of Tideland’s continued development of higher performance, low maintenance, cost-effective multi-purpose buoys for use in all marine environments. The unique design of this buoy allows it to be deployed in a wide variety of applications that include shallow water, channel edges, rivers up to 6 knots current, deep harbours and fast current tidal zones.
Diameter:  1.5m
 
UV-Stablised Polyethylene
Rotationally moulded to form a seamless body, 9.5mm thick, able to withstand knocks and/or collision. Through a unique mould design and a controlled process, an increased thickness is formed at major stress points. This rugged material is abrasion resistant and repels marine growth, eliminating costly sandblasting and painting.
Long-Term Strength
SB-1500 is quipped with a galvanised steel mooring and lifting eye and the complete assembly is removable for inspection. SB-1500 buoy is EPS foam filled to prevent significant water ingress in event of a puncture. As with all Sentinel® buoys, minor punctures are on-station repairable.
Stability
SB-1500 is ideal for use in currents up to 6 knots. The unique keel and hull system with 160kg (350lb) of internal ballast keeps the buoy stable, upright and tracking.
Matching or Alternating Colours
SB-1500 is available in all recommended IALA colours, including cardinal and bifurcation markings, with optional IALA recommended topmarks and daymarks.
Optional Equipment
Internal radar reflector
Repair equipment
4” Lifting eye
Optional LED Marine Lanterns
SB-1500 can be equipped with a range of Tideland self contained lanterns, which are maintenance-free and utilise LED technology, high performance solar modules and high-grade batteries
