Personal Protection Equipment

Rescue

For the equipment you need for rescue, first response and emergency service professionals across Fire, Search and Rescue, Law Enforcement, and other EMS agencies.
For technicians using rope and other rigging systems to perform work at height, or who work in hazardous environments that may require specialized safety equipment to prevent falls or other on-the-job accidents, we have what you need. Please contact us for your rescue equipment, the following is a very small sample of the types of rescue equipment we provide.

SKEDCO SKED STRETCHER SYSTEM

SKEDCO SKED STRETCHER SYSTEM

A rescue and patient transport system that is compact, lightweight, and versatile. It performs all the functions of a traditional basket stretcher and much more. The Sked Stretcher’s design and flexibility makes it ideal for confined space rescue in areas such as: storage tanks, ship’s hatches, mine shafts, manholes, caves, ventilation ducts and other difficult locations. It is a breeze to drag, slide or move on all surfaces. It can be quickly rigged for either horizontal or vertical (headfirst) lowering or hoisting with rope systems. For patients with spinal or cervical injuries the Sked Stretcher will accept any immobilization device currently on the market. The Sked OSS II Backboard will fit inside the backpack along with the stretcher, giving you a complete backboard and stretcher in one package. The Sked will also accept mast trousers. Made in USA.

Confined Space Harness

Confined Space Harness

The all-around choice for confined space operations, heavy rescue and USAR incidents, our ANSI-rated Confined Space Harness™ is exceptionally comfortable, even when used for a shoulder lift. The molded waist padding with lumbar support and breathable D3 cloth provide industry-leading comfort. The redesigned buckle system and our unique Web Keepers™ provide ease of adjustment while keeping the web tails in place. Multiple attachment points include fall arrest points and shoulder lift points with a front waist D-ring for comfortable rappels. The mesh vest provides excellent breathability and keeps the shoulder straps organized to make donning easy. A handgrip has been added to the back for assisting the rescuer out of tight spaces. The harness has a radio pocket, a multi-use pocket and a zippered mesh accessory pocket, which is ideal for a small gas monitor. Attachment points: dorsal, front and rear waist, sternal, shoulders.

Petzyl Rescue Helmet Vertex Vent (Various Colors)

Very comfortable:

  • six-point textile suspension conforms perfectly to the shape of the head
  • CENTERFIT feature allows perfect centering of the helmet on the head, thanks to its two side adjustment wheels
  • FLIP&FIT system allows the headband to be positioned in a low position, guaranteeing that the helmet fits securely on the head. The system folds into the shell for easy storage and transportation
  • comes with interchangeable standard comfort foam

Protection designed for work at height and on the ground, day or night:

  • DUAL chinstrap allows the worker to adjust chinstrap strength in order to adapt the helmet to different environments: work at height (EN 12492) or on the ground (EN 397). The
clip has two positions, corresponding to these two uses: high strength, limiting the risk of losing the helmet during a fall, and low strength, limiting the risk of strangulation if the helmet is snagged while the user is on the ground
  • shock absorption achieved through deformation of the outer shell
  • vent holes with sliding shutters allow the ventilation to be adjusted as needed, while wearing the helmet
  • fluorescent outer shell with phosphorescent clips and reflective bands, for optimal visibility of the worker, day or night

SKEDCO EVAC TRIPOD

SKEDCO EVAC TRIPOD

The Sked-Evac Tripod extends from 6’ to 10’ high at the anchors. It has three anchors to clip into. Each anchor is mounted high onto the header, all of which are anodized in red to identify them. The anchors, headers and legs are interconnected to provide maximum strength. The header limits the distance the legs can spread. Each anchor is equally strong. The legs are adjustable in 5” increments. When at full extension this tripod allows you to bring the patient in a stretcher completely out of the hole. It is rated to handle an NFPA rescue load. Height adjustment positions are labeled every 5” from at the highest extension (5,280 lbf. 23.49 kN) to the lowest (9,500 lbf. 42.25 kN) setting. It utilizes a chain through the feet to provide greater strength and stability.

  • Made in USA.

SMC NFPA LARGE STEEL LOCKING D CARABINER

This is one of the bestselling steel carabiners. The Large Steel Locking D was developed especially for the needs of the fire and rescue communities with a large gate opening that easily fits over litter rails. The NFPA21001 is the model that is stamped with the requisite UL Certification.
The components used in this carabiner are meticulously hand-finished prior to final assembly resulting in the smooth, free gate action that is the hallmark of all SMC carabiners. The sleeve locks on the gate rather than the body of the carabiner, eliminating problems of the knob binding on the frame after the carabiner has been loaded. Utilizes stainless steel gates and locking sleeves for smooth action, greater strength, and optimal reliability. Additionally, each carabiner is 100% hand-inspected for gate action and other functional characteristics before leaving our factory.
If you want a carabiner that performs just as well after 1,000 jobs as it did the first time you used it then you need to buy this one.
Also available as Non-NFPA certified for environments that require strong, high-quality connectors.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

  • UL certified to meet NFPA1983 “G” General Use.
  • Unique “hybrid” design utilizes stainless steel for gates and other internal parts insuring silky smooth and trouble-free performance for the life of the carabiner.
  • Pins are flush-mounted with gate for a virtually snag-free operation.
  • Thread design and medium knurl provide a positive action for secure use with gloves yet is easy on bare hands.
  • Sleeve is precisely aligned by hand so that it moves freely and locks on gate not the frame thus prevents jamming upon release under heavy loads.
  • Made in the USA.
