Because they're attached to the load via a single point of connection, they require significantly less rigging time than multi-attachment alternatives Its structural internal connecting strop between each end of the MBU makes it possible to lift through or moor onto Unique Group's MBUs – a capability which sets us apart from other products on the market.

Each buoy has an inflation valve commonly found in inflatable boats which allows inflation by most dinghy pumps; for the larger versions a small 12v blower or vacuum cleaner set to ‘blow’ saves a lot of time.

A stainless steel ring is fitted to the underside of the buoy with a similar fitting in the top for lifting or towing.
