Showcasing at the Emergency Services Show (NEC Birmingham, Stand C71, 18-19 September) are rugged innovative 360-degree rescue solutions from the UK’s leader, Vimpex, dedicated to delivering new levels of performance to emergency services teams at any incident.
There will be lots of new and versatile products to see, including the new Pacific R6 Helmet range – helmets for Ambulance, Fire & Rescue and Police; an interactive area where visitors can trial the multi-featured next-generation First Look 360 camera – the world’s first live-streaming 360-degree technical rescue search camera, and the most comprehensive heavy lifting rapid extrication solution from Paratech.
The new Pacific R6 Helmet range offers the most up-to-date form of head protection. The Pacific R6 rescue helmet range represents the most versatile and configurable helmet of its type available, offering the most up-to-date and modern form of head protection in a very comfortable, lightweight and wearable package. Pacific helmets are tested in the most extreme conditions required for conformity to relevant clauses of the stringent EN 443 standard, unlike some of its competitors. Manufactured using a Kevlar® reinforced composite shell, these helmets provide the perfect combination of safety, balance and wearer comfort. The use of fibre-reinforced materials means that Pacific rescue helmets have less mass than those manufactured from thermoplastics, and with a very low centre of gravity so that all users can concentrate on their job rather than neck ache.
Next-generation FirstLook360 is the world’s first live streaming 360-degree technical rescue search camera that uses state-of-the-art, custom-built software to create a seamless 360-degree view that can be manipulated or shared on a mobile device. It is easy to use, reliable, rugged, has an intuitive interface and no mechanics. The FL360’s digital streams broadcast in HD quality and are designed to transmit both wired and/or wirelessly to any Android-powered mobile device.
Paratech Heavy Rescue tools and equipment comprise the most comprehensive heavy lifting kit available, utilising the strength of HydraFusion Struts, lifting height and power of the MULTIFORCE in the Rapid Extrication Kit as well as the environmentally friendly sturdiness of recycled plastic cribbing and much more. This Kit can lift and stabilise any vehicle on the road, and all packed in four convenient, mobile cases.
