'First Response' Makita Tool Tray Concept

Vimpex has developed an integrated tool tray for Makita battery powered tools. The tray is designed to be installed on the appliance and incorporate in-vehicle chargers, suitable power tools and all accessories and blades required.

The 'First Response' concept contains a powerful reciprocating saw, angle grinder and combi-drill. Designed for immediate deployment, three battery chargers are mounted within the foam insert to ensure that batteries are always charged and ready for use.

Vimpex has worked with Makita to identify the right blades and accessories for rescue use and these are all held in a tool roll stored within the foam insert.
