GSF’s Promount Holds it Together

Sept. 19, 2009 - PRLog -- Three months ago the Fire and Rescue team were delighted to announce GSF’s latest answer to industrial and commercial stowage by launching a new brand called Promount - a versatile and unique tool mounting system - into the UK market.  We caught up with Jeremy Binnington, GSF’s Sales and Marketing Director at the Fire and Rescue Show held at the NEC, this month, to discover that Promount is already making a name for itself in the industry.

“The Promount tool mounting system is unique in the respect that not only does it lock down a host of fire fighting equipment, but because Promount can be fixed upside down, it squeezes every useable space out of a vehicle.”

Indeed Promount is an innovation in hard-lock, fast release tool storage.  Made from a number of highly durable and non corrosive materials, including polypropylene, glassed filled nylons and a mixture of high silicon / high rubber elastics; tests carried out by the US Army (MIL-S-901D qualification) were so successful that all US land vehicles currently use the system in one form or another.

”Fire vehicles need to meet some pretty tough challenges.  Most vehicles these days have a working life of 15 to 20 years but a fire fighters kit changes almost yearly and we needed a solution that would work round that problem. Promount isn’t future proofing, but as a multi-tool, multi-application tool storage unit, it keep up constant kit changes very well.”

The secret to Promount’s unique tool storage ability is the steel tool boards or alternatively ‘peg-boards’ that use one-inch spaces between holes.  This means when equipment does need changing the brigades can configure the space and specific storage solution to each tool and Health and Safety Requirement.

“Promount,” Concludes Jeremy, “is a logical, fixed solution that can be used simply and efficiently by a gloved hand, as well us giving the fire fighters a means to add more essential kit to the vehicle.”
