Commander Double Extinguisher Stand with Inserts | Red ABS Plastic
£41.69 (inc VAT: £50.03)
Summary
The CheckFire Commander Double Extinguisher Stand with Inserts is a freestanding stand designed to hold two extinguishers securely without the need for wall fixings. What distinguishes this model from the standard CS51 double stand is the inclusion of moulded inserts, which sit in the base of the stand to cradle and stabilise the extinguishers — particularly useful for CO2 cylinders and larger 6ltr and 9ltr units, which can be harder to hold securely in an open stand.
The inserts are straightforward to fit — they simply drop into the base of the stand before the extinguishers are placed in position, with no tools or fixings required. The stand itself is manufactured from robust ABS plastic, features a dedicated signage area, and has a gripped base to protect floor surfaces. Extinguishers and ID signs are each sold separately.

FAQs
What are the inserts and what do they do?
The inserts are moulded plastic components that sit inside the base of the stand to hold extinguisher cylinders in position. They are particularly beneficial for CO2 extinguishers, which have a narrower cylinder profile, and for larger 6ltr and 9ltr units. By cradling the base of the cylinder, the inserts add stability and reduce the risk of extinguishers tipping or shifting in the stand.
How do the inserts fit?
The inserts simply place into the base of the Commander stand — no tools, adhesive, or fixings are required. Once positioned, the extinguisher is placed on top of the insert as normal. If you ever need to reconfigure the stand for a different extinguisher type, the inserts can be removed and swapped just as easily.
What is the difference between this stand and the standard CS51 double stand?
The main difference is the inclusion of the inserts, which provide additional stability for specific extinguisher types — particularly CO2 cylinders and larger 6ltr/9ltr units. This stand also uses PP (polypropylene) plastic rather than the ABS plastic used in the standard CS51. Both are robust, freestanding, and require no wall fixing. If you are deploying CO2 extinguishers or larger units and want a more secure fit without wall brackets, the CS51A is the more appropriate choice.
Does this stand need to be fixed to the floor or wall?
No. The CS51A is completely freestanding and requires no drilling or wall fixing. The gripped base protects the floor surface and keeps the stand in position, while the inserts and the weight of the extinguishers provide additional stability in normal use.
Are extinguishers and ID signs included?
No — extinguishers and ID signs are each sold separately. The stand has a dedicated signage area for an extinguisher ID sign, which should be selected to match the type of extinguisher installed at the fire point.
