The patrol vehicle is described on their website as "The centre of patrol activity on most larger beaches, the four wheel drive allows lifeguards to be at the water's edge for long periods of time reducing their response time considerably. It is equipped with everything necessary to carry out regular lifeguarding duties. It also provides members of the public with a contact point on the water's edge."
