Greater cutting capability with Hurst Jaws of Life JL-500
jaws_of_life_cutterJune 21, 2011 – The new Hurst Jaws of Life JL-500 5,000-psi cutter features an innovative blade design engineered to address the larger diameters and stronger metals being encountered by rescuers today. Unlike traditional rescue cutters, the forged shock-resistant steel blades of the JL-500 offer greater cutting capability near the fully open position where it’s needed most and eliminates the tendency of the tool to rotate into the passenger compartment.

The JL-500’s extrication capabilities include passenger and over-the-road vehicles, structural collapse, aircraft egress and hundreds of other real world challenges. The JL-500 is fully equipped with built-in safety features, such as dead man controls, hand-guards, and preset internal relief valves.

Specifications:
Weight: 21.3 kilograms (47 pounds)
Blade opening: 18.5 centimetres (7.3 inches)
Length: 110.2 centimetres (43.4 inches)
Width: 28.7 centimetres (11.3 inches)
Height: 21.3 centimetres (8.4 inches)

Prevent dead vehicle batteries with FlexMod VSRT
vsrtJune 17, 2011 – Ideal for fire, police and emergency vehicles, the FlexMod VSRT from Cole Hersee virtually eliminates the possibility of vehicle not reaching the next emergency situation due to a dead battery. It alerts the vehicle operator when starting voltage is low and then cuts off any non-essential loads, such as air conditioning or exterior lighting, thus conserving power to start.

The FlexMod VSRT was created with solid state technology, providing long life and zero maintenance or replacement. Its service life exceeds 1,000,000 on/off cycles, operating for the entire lifetime of the vehicle. This device has a rating of 10A, and can handle many loads directly or drive a relay or solenoid for higher amperages. Overvoltage and overcurrent protective measures are also included, providing extra levels of assurance.
