Ziamatic’s New Products to be Shown at FDIC

With every new design, Ziamatic strives to meet the ever-evolving demands of the fire service with fresh forward thinking and cutting-edge development. Ziamatic is at it once again, this time releasing several new products in time to be featured at this year’s FDIC. These include a Double Hard Sleeve Gantry, the SURE-GRIP 275, and SURE-GRIP Hook Tool Mounting Brackets.

Visit us at booth #5829 or booth #13105 to see them up close. In the meantime, you can learn more about theme here.

Double Hard Sleeve Gantry

The new Double Hard Sleeve Gantry may be the safest, most efficient way to retrieve two 10-foot hard sleeves from the top of a fire truck. The new Double Hard Sleeve Gantry makes a multi-person operation a one-person operation. It can be a very helpful product for those departments that have only a few firefighters responding to calls.

The Double Hard Sleeve Gantry is designed around the standard areas where double hard sleeve stationary mounts are commonly seen, making this system a good choice for retrofitting or specking in to new truck bids. A damper was applied to create a steady, safe, but efficient drop down with little to no resistance when lifting up and storing the gantry. The handle and locking assembly are designed with a release close to the bottom of the handle so users do not need to leave the ground when retrieving hard sleeves.

To operate, simply unlock and slide the gantry out and down to ground level access. Undo the hook and loop strap and slide the hard sleeve from the trays. The handle and locking assembly are designed to automatically lock when the gantry is put back into the stowed position.

MODELS: HSG-2-O-10 (Officer’s side of vehicle) HSG-2-D-10 (Driver’s side of vehicle)

SURE-GRIP 275

Ziamatic has recently released a newly designed and engineered addition to its SURE-GRIP product line, making mounting even easier and more effective for many of the most common and irregularly shaped tools and equipment.

The new SURE-GRIP Tool and Equipment Mounts (model SG-VM-275 and model SG-VM-275-Y – with a yellow strap) are designed with a 2.75″ stand off from the mounting surface to the tool cradle and have a .75” to 2” grip range.

The new SURE-GRIP features:

  • A 2 3/4″ Stand off from mounting surface to bottom of the tool cradle
  • A 3/4″ to 2″ grip range
  • A molded-in support arm that provides assistance and stability while securing a tool
  • A high-tensile strength super tough nylon base
  • 1″ wide heavy-duty, all-weather hook & loop straps that have secured your tools and equipment for over 20 years. When paired with a manufactured applied rubber pad on the body of the bracket, the combination of the two retains tools and equipment tighter and more efficient than most other options available.
  • A strap that conforms to the handle, no matter the shape, providing a tighter, more “true” grip on every tool

SURE-GRIP HOOK TOOL MOUNTING BRACKETS

Firefighters can use Ziamatic’s SURE-GRIP Hook Tool Mounting Brackets to safely store Ziamatic’s Z hook tools and many other NY hook style tools. They were designed using stainless steel to complement all truck body styles and looks while maintaining a strong attractive finish.

The mounting kit utilizes Ziamatic’s SURE-GRIP bracket (model SG-VM-1) which provides one of the strongest ways to retain tools with a quick and simple release and retrieval process. The rubber pads on both the strap and on the body of the SURE-GRIP bracket are proven to virtually eliminate vertical movement when the vehicle is in transit. 

The mounting kit fits all length hook poles by adjusting the distance between the top bracket and the SURE-GRIP bracket. A left and right option is available to ensure almost all mounting application needs can be satisfied. To release a tool, simply release the hook and loop strap and lift the tool up and out of the bracket. The SURE-GRIP Hook Tool Mounting Brackets include models SG-VM-ZHL (left), and SG-VM-ZHR (right).
