Vehicle Fire Extinguisher Boxes

At Simply Safety Group, we provide a comprehensive variety of fire extinguisher boxes and cabinets. This is because storing fire extinguishers in a safe, secure, and accessible manner is an essential safety requirement for most establishments. But giving vehicles the same treatment may not be so obvious.

Here, you’ll find a number of different sizes of Vehicle Fire Extinguisher Boxes, as well as items used for their installation. All at the lowest prices you’ll find and available for next-day delivery.

What’s Unique About Vehicle Fire Extinguisher Boxes?

For smaller vehicles, particularly cars, where extinguishers are not a legal requirement (see below for more details), the storage method can just be a metal bracket. This should be fixed somewhere easily accessible, with under the front passenger seat being a recommended location. On the other hand, typical fire extinguisher cabinets are designed to keep extinguishers safe and secure, specifically fixed location. As such, they are not expected to be moved around too much, meaning having excess space on the inside isn’t a problem.

Vehicle Fire Extinguisher Boxes differ on both of these fronts. Of course, much like a standard cabinet, they are primarily designed to keep the extinguisher safe and secure against tampering and the elements, but a close second is restricting their movement as much as possible, so as to keep them in place while your vehicle is on the move. They achieve this with an internal retaining brace, that keeps the extinguisher flush against the interior. And, unlike an extinguisher bracket, these boxes are more at home in an accessible spot on the underside of a large vehicle.

Are Vehicle Fire Extinguishers a Legal Requirement?

Not strictly, no. We do highly recommend that you keep an extinguisher somewhere obvious in your vehicle, for which our Car Fire Extinguisher options are here to help, 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 unsurprisingly, tankers and vehicles carrying hazardous materials, as well as passenger vehicles with more than eight seats. Our range of extinguishers and associated boxes are designed to service any of these types of vehicles, with larger transports such as mobile homes also being suitable.
