GSF Slides has been appointed sole distributor for the UK, Ireland and Australia for the Interfron range of backpack and hydraulic power units.
The SP700 and VP700 are battery-powered backpack units that provide hydraulic power for cutting tools and other hydraulic equipment such as hydraulic jacks used by emergency services as well as in many other situations.'The range of battery-powered backpacks gives emergency crews complete freedom from petrol-driven or vehicle-mounted power supplies,' said Jon Lye, managing director, GSF.
'No hydraulic extensions and no attachments mean no entanglements, which in low-visibility, high-risk environments, reduce accidents and increase access to enclosed and otherwise inaccessible spaces,' he added.
The SP700 and the VP700 can be fitted with the appropriate hydraulic connectors, enabling the units to operate rescue tools from all major manufacturers, including Holmatro, Amkus, Lukas, Zumro, Weber, TNT, Lancier, Nike Centaur, Resotec and Enerpac.
The units can be adjusted to use hydraulic pressure at 5,100, 9,200 and 10,500 psi.
Each unit has a total weight of approximately 18kg (40lbs).
'Our backpacks have 30 minutes of operational use and it takes seconds to refit a new battery,' said Lye.
Other key features include (on the VP700) integral control valves, which enable control of equipment extensions such as hydraulic rams.
In addition, the VP700 has been designed for varying emergency conditions.
The VP700 is water tight to a depth of 2m, meaning it is a quick, free-moving system suitable for sea and water rescues.
The Interfron range also includes three conventional, free-standing petrol-driven hydraulic pump units, which are designed with protective roll cages, scope to connect two tools at once and built-in controls.
