Heavy Duty Rescue Cutters and Spreaders
« on: September 13, 2009, 16:34:13 »
Hello Everyone,

Here are two of my latest custom rescue tools. They will form the centre piece of my new Heavy Duty Range, a set of the most powerfull rescue tools on the Playmobil market. These are specially designed to cut and spread some of the toughest metals available.
The type of incidents these are employed on range from HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicle), bus, coach, train and aircraft accidents. In accidents like this people are usually trapped under large amounts of heavy gauge metal such as chassis members and body panels. In this type of incident the standard cutters and spreaders (Jaws of Life) are not powerfull enough to deal with some of the metals involved.
The air line featured in the pictures was kindly supplied by Bill Blackhurst of WHB Rescue Equipment Systems USA.

Excellent Tim (as usual)! Those cutters/spreaders must be awfully heavy, are they single operator items or do they require a team when in the field? Thank you for sharing this with us.
