Application
The Holmatro V-strut is a vehicle stabilization system to quickly and efficiently stabilize all types of cars,
minibuses, SUV's, MPV's and truck cabins in all kind of difficult positions and on any surface to obtain
maximum safety for rescue workers and victims. The struts can be used separately or in sets to create
a stable situation in which the rescue operation can proceed.
The V-strut is not suitable for lifting vehicles.
The length of the V-strut can easily be adapted just by moving the tubes out of each other. They are
locked automatically to each other by 2 spring activated pawls.
The ratchet belt has a sleeve to protect the belt itself against sharp objects and heat parts like the
exhaust system.
The knife to cut sheet metal is an accessory to force a slot in the vehicles bodywork so the hook of the
ratchet belt can be fixed properly.
1.5
Qualified personnel
The system may only be operated by people trained in its use. Always obey local legislation, safety and
environmental regulations. Repair work may only be performed by a Holmatro Certified Technician.
