GSF specialize in the provision of on board storage solutions for the fire and rescue vehicle industry, this includes Telescopic Slides, Slide & Tilt Systems, Push button handles and Tool Mounting Equipment.
Fire & Rescue vehicles now need additional storage space to accommodate a greater range of more sophisticated rescue equipment and the number of sliding drawers built into these vehicles has grown to accommodate electrical generators, lighting systems as well as portable pumping and fogging systems.
The twin requirements of operator safety and operational effectiveness are of paramount importance. GSF’s ability to select and adapt from an unrivalled base product range, and its ability to assist with the design of bespoke and space-saving drawer systems enable us to make a significant contribution to your vehicle design.
GSF slides can offer the perfect solution for Fire & Rescue vehicle storage requests with:
* The Performance Range of Telescopic Slides are manufactured with I beam sections; they are a fit and forget product suitable for a wide range of OEM applications. In particular are suited to the Fire & Rescue vehicle market, where slides capable of withstanding shock and vibration are required in such applications as pull-out equipment boards and vertical shelves. The slides are very compact in profile and can carry up to 2000 kg depending on the model used.
The Complete Tray Systems allows quick access to the rescue equipment simultaneously by several people. The trays are ready for quick installation, including bespoke mountings for specialist equipment such as auxiliary pumps, tools, hoses and rescue equipment. Lock-in and lock-out mechanisms facilitate quick and safe operation of the equipment carrier, as well as holding the fully-loaded drawer securely in position when the vehicle is in motion or at the scene.
The GSF’s Award Winning Slide and Tilt System facilitates safe access to high-bay equipment stowage drawers on fire engines, and indeed other applications such as fire & rescue vehicles and static storage and racking systems.
With the ability to produce specialist heavy duty systems, GSF Slides has developed a particularly strong reputation with the Fire industries as consultants from concept through to delivery.
The Front Push Button Drawer Handle and lock mechanism is extensively used on fire truck drawers (straight slide out and slide & Tilt). The double handle and push button locking mechanism is located at the centre of the drawer front in order to ensure the operator’s gloved hands are kept well away from the pinch risks.
