Product Description
This is the original system developed by Leafield Marine and was introduced in 1992. It is well proven with over 250,000 manufactured and is used by some of the world’s leading life raft manufacturers on their SOLAS life-rafts. Typical uses include SOLAS life-rafts, Marine Evacuation Systems, RIB self-righting bags and buoyancy bag inflation.
This system is ideal for use with complex Marine Evacuation Systems and other multi cylinder applications. Versions are also available with a pressure gauge/water activation/electrical activation/servo system.
The GIS system uses a patented cutter system to ensure consistent, rapid inflation times, even on the largest life rafts.
Due to the safety critical nature of this product and number of variants available, we suggest that you contact Leafield Marine directly to discuss your specific needs.
