Built to Serve: BOYCO Furniture for the Emergency Services


April 2025

When designing essential furniture for emergency services, such as ambulance stations, fire stations, and police stations, functionality and durability are non-negotiable.

At BOYCO, we understand the unique demands of these environments and provide tailored solutions that combine quality craftsmanship with practical design. That’s why BOYCO lockers, benches, furniture, and coat hooks are trusted across the UK for robust and reliable performance in high-traffic settings.

Lockers Designed for Durability

Our lockers are built to withstand heavy use whilst offering secure and organised storage ideal for uniforms, gear, and personal items. From the standard all steel locker range through to our heavy-duty shockproof lockers and our Ultrabox™ weatherproof locker systems, we have your requirements covered in every aspect.

Looking for a traditional locker design?

Our dry area steel lockers are most utilised for projects in the emergency sector. They offer a durable finish and come in a range of sizes to suit the space you have available.

Why are lockers essential pieces of furniture?

Lockers are a must-have for allowing staff to have space to lock away their belongings. Especially in emergency settings, staff will only have access to their items during break times or once their shift is finished. Lockers ensure that their possessions are safely stored.

Cloakroom Furniture That Goes the Distance

Featuring comfortable seating, handy coat hooks and peg rails, our cloakroom products are highly regarded within the industry for their quality finish and durability, and that’s why BOYCO have led the market for decades with a range that covers all changing spaces. You’ll often find our units in Fire Stations, Police changing areas and even hospital staff rooms.

Designed with changing rooms in mind, BOYCO have designed an array of placement options to suit your space with ease. If you have small changing rooms, our Spacesaver units are sure to be your perfect partner. The clever Spacesaver design effectively doubles number of coats per meter run, meaning that you can still offer teams somewhere to keep their personal items tidied away, without compromising on space.

Pretty self-explanatory, BOYCO coat hanger units boast our renowned timber frame, with a coat hanger rail and metal coat hangers offering a great storage solution. Used mainly in staff changing rooms in emergency settings, they’re an optimum choice to keep heavy coats and clothing from cluttering pegs. Learn more about them here.

Our benches come with a 10-year guarantee, and our unbreakable pegs are guaranteed for life. These made-to-measure, factory-finished products are truly one of the most robust available on the market today.

Which units are best for Fire Station changing rooms?

Our coat racks and drying units for wet area applications have been designed through years of expertise and innovation and stand out as the premium fixed furniture solution for the drying room environment making them your perfect solution for fire station changing rooms.

All our drying units are pre-galvanised to ensure complete water resistance enabling them to fully withstand the tough environments they are placed in. Our coat racks and drying units also come with BOYCO’s unique “Hot-Dip” nylon coating which provides unparalleled durability and longevity, along with exceptional anti-microbial properties.

Shelving Units That You Can Trust

Built with strength and flexibility in mind, BOYCO shelving units are perfect for storing a variety of items from fire station changing kit to medical supplies in busy A&E departments. Used and relied upon across the UK, we offer a range of options from adjustable wall and floor fixed shelving to freestanding shelving systems with a slatted finish.

Which shelving units are best for hospitals?

We find that our Cantilever systems are a go-to for many medical settings due to both the ease of access for quickly grabbing essential supplies in emergency departments, as well as how easy the units are to clean – detrimental in hospitals.

For a more robust finish, our wall and floor fixed options offer a higher level of stability for larger and slightly heavier items, with our floor fixed only shelving making an ideal island unit in a room where there’s space to maximise storage.

Even better, all our tubular metalwork featured on our shelving units are finished with our Hot-Dip Nylon coating which is fully guaranteed for 10 years leaving you with total peace of mind. Highly durable, this BOYCO-pioneered coating prevents 99% of all bacteria from surviving on its surface making it a fantastic choice for all high touchpoint areas, especially emergency settings.
