PARATECH RESCUE SUPPORT SYSTEMS (RSS)

Introduced in 1993, Paratech's Rescue Support Systems are designed and built specifically for trench rescue, building collapse and transportation accidents. Collapse
rescue is by far one of the most difficult challenges faced by fire brigades and rescue teams. Structural collapse emergencies occur almost daily somewhere in the world.

“Workmen Trapped During Building Demolition”, “Natural Gas Explosions”, “Terrorist Bomb”, “Earthquake Affects Residential Area”, “Burning Building Collapses - Traps Fire Fighters”. We have all seen these or similar news headlines and now we can be better equipped to face these collapse rescue challenges. The Paratech Rescue Support System is truly a “go anywhere” system.

Designed to be effective for the simplest to the most demanding deployment, there isn't a more comprehensive, scalable and straightforward system than Paratech's.
Whether you choose the precision of the AcmeThread Strut, the automatic locking collar of the LockStroke Strut or the added length of the LongShore Strut, they are strong and versatile enough for nearly every collapse and stabilisation scenario. The system includes 5 sizes of AcmeThread Struts, 4 sizes of LockStroke Struts, 6 sizes of LongShore Struts, 8 Strut Extensions and over 20 interchangeable base plates designed to support a wide variety of contact points. All aluminum alloy components
of the Rescue Support System are hard coat anodised to reduce electrical conductivity and increase strength and durability. The Paratech Rescue Support System is designed to be used in:

Structural Collapse

Earthquakes, construction collapse, caveins, floods and structural fire damage require a collapse rescue system designed for the purpose of extracting victims in a safe and timely manner.

They are sturdy, reliable and are the strongest and easiest VSK's to use on the market today.
