APPLICATIONS
Rescue Professionals
Rescue Professionals know the importance of performing a rescue without putting the rescuer at risk. This is the fundamental underlying our complete line of products.

The ResQmax™ has been developed to assist departments in meeting the requirements of NFPA 1006 and NFPA 1670. As a non-pyrotechnic it does not require special storage, shipping or licensing -- is intrinsically safe -- and is fueled by compressed air -- making training an inexpensive operation. This equipment is essential for swift water rescue, ice rescue, surf water rescue, technical rope rescue and a host of other applications which can be used in an emergency.
Tactical Applications
The Tactical ResQmax was developed to meet the expanding needs of tactical police, security and military teams, in both land-based and maritime environments, worldwide. This new generation system is designed to deploy a line only, a grappling hook and climbing line, or a grappling hook and ascending ladder, to an otherwise inaccessible point -- to assist trained professionals in accomplishing their mission.

The unit is suitable for both vertical deployment, for such purposes as:

* Boarding a ship
* Ascending a rock face
* Ascending a building or other structure

It is also suitable for horizontal deployment, for a wide variety of purposes such as establishing a line:

* Across a river or stream
* Between the roof tops of buildings
* From ship-to-ship for towing lines or for underway replenishment purposes

Flat black in color, and fueled by compressed air, the projectile leaves no signature trail. At discharge the only sound is a "whoosh" of air barely, if at all, audible from the target location.

Any combinations of lines, ladders or grappling hooks may be included in your Tactical ResQmax kit. Accessories from other product lines, such as the ResQmax sling projectile may also be used with the Tactical ResQmax.
   
The VerTmax revolutionizes the user’s ability to attach a ladder and grappling hook from vertical distances of 20ft/6m to 50ft /15m.  No other telescopic pole on the market can deliver a vertical advantage as quickly and silently.  An operator can fully extend the VerTmax in a matter of seconds and the pole can be lifted several times from a single charge of compressed air.  The VerTmax will fit into existing deck sockets installed in a RHIB or can be handheld under water.  Applications for the VerTmax include:

* Vessel Boarding
* Urban Method of Entry
* Surveillance
* Covert Operations
* Rescue

Custom lengths are available upon request and kits can be configured with a variety of climbing lines, in addition to the tactical ladder.		  
Military Applications
The ALM is designed to suit the missions of modern day Tactical & Special Forces units - for use in applications which may include severe exposure to marine environments, including submersion in seawater - such as sub-surface movements of swimmers, as well as for land-based and surface based maritime environments.

Each launcher housing is cast from 6061-T6 Aircraft Aluminum and powder coated black for covert operations. Each launcher mechanism is machined from 303 SS Stainless Steel.

The standard ALM projectiles are made from 6061-T6 heat treated aluminum, with a service pressure of 3,000 psi. / 207 Bar.

The high pressure ALM projectiles are designed for the same applications, but offer higher performance by operating at higher service pressure. This affords the end user longer or higher delivery distances with heavier payloads. The projectiles are made from Grade V Titanium, with a service pressure of 4,500 psi. / 300 Bar.
Commercial Marine
Commercial marine applications of the ResQmax™ include:

* Establishing a tow line,
* Ship-to-ship line deployment for underway replenishment,
* Ship-to-shore line deployment,
* Messenger Line deployment,
* Man-overboard recovery,
* Mooring Line recovery, and
* Deployment of spill containment booms

Fueled by compressed air, intrinsically safe, and completely reusable, the ResQmax™ is ideal for Standby Vessels, Offshore Oil Platforms, Cargo Ships, Oil Tankers, Barges, Tugs and Tow Boats.

The system is completely modular, and available with a wide range of line types and accessories, which may be deployed hundreds of feet, as necessary.

Non-pyrotechnic in nature, no lengthy import or export permitting, or special shipping, handling and storage is required.
