About Marine Technologies (MTI Industries)
Marine Technologies, Inc. — operating under the widely recognized brand MTI Industries — has been a cornerstone of marine and recreational safety since its founding in 1980 in Illinois. Though its first product was a security alarm, the company was founded to serve the marine industry by monitoring carbon monoxide levels on boats with sleeping accommodations. Today, the brand is best known for its Safe-T-Alert product line, a family of safety alarms trusted by boaters, RV owners, and homeowners alike.
A Legacy Built on Life-Saving Technology
MTI Industries earned its reputation through genuine innovation in safety monitoring. MTI Industries created the first UL Standard carbon monoxide detector in 1993, establishing the company as a pioneer in the space. The brand emerged in the RV industry in 1992 with propane gas alarms, which became its best-selling product of all time. This dual heritage — rooted in marine safety and expanded to broader recreational use — means that every MTI detector is engineered with the unique challenges of confined, mobile, and marine environments firmly in mind.
Why does this matter for boaters? Carbon monoxide can accumulate inside a boat's cabin or cockpit if the vessel operates at certain angles in the water, a danger that is invisible and odorless. MTI's safety alarms are engineered to protect boats, RVs, and homes from silent dangers like carbon monoxide and gas leaks.
The Safe-T-Alert Product Line for Marine Use
For boaters, Marine Technologies offers a comprehensive suite of air and gas leak detectors purpose-built for the demands of the water. Marine Technologies offers a full line of safety and security products for boating enthusiasts, including the Carbon Monoxide Alarm, Gasoline Fume Detector, Fume, Fire and Flood Detector, and the Intruder Alarm. These products are built to handle the specific conditions of marine environments, including exposure to moisture, vibration, and the unique gas hazards found in bilge compartments and engine rooms.
The marine gas fume detectors in the Safe-T-Alert lineup use remote sensor technology to monitor the areas of a boat most prone to dangerous accumulations. The MGD-1 in-dash gas fume detector, for example, provides protection against accidents caused by gas and propane spills or leaks, with a remote sensor that monitors the bilge and engine compartment during and after fueling.
Engineering You Can Count On
Safe-T-Alert provides advanced carbon monoxide, gas fume, fire, and bilge water alarms designed specifically for boats, with no false alarms from new boat smell or outgassing, and state-of-the-art detectors that ensure early warning of dangerous gas leaks. Whether you are outfitting a small runabout or a large cabin cruiser, MTI Industries provides a detector engineered for your vessel's specific needs — backed by decades of innovation and a commitment to keeping people safe on the water.
