Zico Introduces New Horizontal Extrication Tool Holder

Ziamatic Corp. (Zico) presents the latest addition to their QUIC-MOUNT line of tool mounting solutions: the QUIC-MOUNT Horizontal Extrication Tool Holder, Model QM-ET-H2. The holder consists of four separate components, two cast aluminum curved blocks and two steel angled brackets, that can be mounted in a wide array of configurations to accommodate virtually any cutter, spreader or combination tool.
 
Mounting to nearly any flat surface, the QM-ET-H2 is perfect for storing extrication tools in bumper “coffin” compartments and other spaces where height is restricted. Gravity keeps the heavy tool sitting firmly against the curved base blocks, secured snugly in place by the heavy-duty nylon retention strap. The high-strength angled brackets keep the blades/arms on the other end from shifting. When needed, the tool is simply unbuckled and lifted up off the shelf.
 
When replacing an old tool, simply re-adjust the QM-ET-H2 components for the new arrival. There’s no longer any need to purchase an expensive custom holder for each tool!
 
Available now. List Price: $100.20. For more information please call 1-800-711-FIRE or visit www.ziamatic.com
