 'First Response' Makita Tool Tray Concept
Vimpex has developed an integrated tool tray for Makita battery powered tools. Now in use by several UK Fire & Rescue Services, the tray is designed to be installed on the appliance and incorporate in-vehicle chargers, suitable power tools and all accessories and blades required.
A typical '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.
The foam insert has been designed allow tools to be easily removed with gloved hands. Drainage holes have been included as have ventilation areas to allow battery chargers to dissipate heat.
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.
