Zstrut | Firehouse

JunkYard Dog Industries is proud to announce the successful completion of third party testing of the  Z STRUT™ this past week.  Following the same style of testing as performed on the  X TEND™ model, the  Z STRUT™ was able to hold 11% additional force as compared to the  X TEND™.  Testing was performed at a certified laboratory under strict conditions.  This third party verification of the rescue strut’s performance insures that rescuers using the JYD rescue struts can depend on their safety rating.

The ZipNut® collar and inner bar was tested as well and reached 27,428 pounds of force before testing was stopped.  After testing, the ZipNut® collar performed like new. Stainless Hex Bolts

JunkYard Dog Industries will continue to rate the strut at 10,000 pounds and a safe working load limit of 5,000 pounds.

These tests leave no doubt of the integrity of design and manufacturing of both the Rescue Strut products.

With the introduction of the  Z STRUT ™ , the rescue strut concept will be changed.  Based on the current strut system, the  Z STRUT ™  brings a revolutionary concept – No More Adjustment Pin.  To replace the typical adjustment pin, JunkYard Dog Industries ™  paired up with the people from ZipNut® Technologies to have exclusive use of their patented device.  By placing a double ZipNut® collar where the pin should be, and replacing the inner tube with a threaded stainless steel solid bar, an extremely easy and revolutionary system was created. 

The  Z STRUT ™  is extended like this: Simply pull-up on the head and the threaded rod “zips” out of the square tube.  When you stop pulling, it automatically locks in place.  If you require incremental adjustments in height and/or tension, simply rotate the collar and the threaded rod moves accordingly.  To retract the extension, just pull-up on the collar, the threaded rod is released and can be dropped back into the outer tube.  (Patent Pending)

 The ZipNut® makes the  Z STRUT ™  even Simpler to use.
