The fleet also handles transport requirements for three RNLI factories-situated in Dorset, Wales and the Isle of Wight-that build and refit inflatable and all-weather lifeboats and amphibious tractors. The charity organization operates a fleet of 15-ton rigid trucks that are responsible for distributing merchandise to the charity’s retail shops and kiosks, as well as parts and equipment to its nationwide network of lifeboat stations. The RNLI is dedicated to saving lives at sea around the coasts of the UK, the Republic of Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, as well as some inland waterways.
