Collapsed structure rescue (USAR) Trench rescue One system for every rescue situation Holmatro PowerShore is a versatile and easy to assemble emergency shoring system providing quick and reliable stabilization for every rescue situation. No matter what type of operation you are faced with – more regular but less complex or less regular but more complex (see graph) – this system meets any shoring requirement. In all of these situations and environments stabilization with Holmatro PowerShore prevents further injury of those entrapped and creates rapid safe areas for rescuers to work in.

The solution for every rescue situation One system for shoring and lifting Consisting of various lightweight, fully compatible components with snap-lock connection, Holmatro Power-ShoreTM can be assembled in a minimum amount of time. With the help of many different extension lengths and accessories virtually any object can be shored at various angles. The load is safely secured by means of a manual or automatic locking system. Holmatro PowerShore is also available with integrated pneumatic or, for even more power, hydraulic lifting cylinders. This allows for a combination of shoring and...

Features & benefits One system for every rescue situation, enabling both shoring and lifting Shoring at various angles possible The PowerShore™ system includes hydraulic, pneumatic and manual struts, to deal with every rescue situation. Shores can be positioned at various angles. Load is secured by manual “Locknut” or automatic locking “Auto-lock” system Auto-lock pneumatic or hydraulic systems enable ‘remote shoring’, i.e. when a shore is positioned in an unsafe area and then extended from a remote safe location by either pneumatic or hydraulic pressure Load secured by manual Locknut. 100...

What is a shore made up of? Shore components When we look at a single shore, it is usually built of the following components: 1) a strut 2) one or more extensions 3) heads and accessories All shores, depending on their length, have a max. load capacity of 100 kN / 10.1 t with a safety factor of 4:1 (see the graph page 20). Struts (1) With a stroke of 120 - 252 mm the strut is the extendable part of the shore. There are different types of struts which can be operated manually or by means of pneumatic or hydraulic pressure (see “strut operating systems” page 7). From top to bottom: hydraulic,...

There are three different types of operating systems for struts. These are manual (also referred to as ‘mechanical'), pneumatic and hydraulic. Manual (mechanical) operation —^ Operating & locking systems 7 i Various combinations of operating and locking systems result in five different types of struts, as shown in the table at the bottom of this page. Strut locking systems >J^ There are also two types of locking systems: Locknut and Auto-lock. Manual struts are extended manually. Load capacity: 100 kN / 10.1 t Pneumatic operation Pneumatic struts are operated by means of an 8 bar...

I holmatro mastering power Strut application comparison a On the following pages we will compare applications suiting the five different strut types. It must be said, that the application possibilities are not strictly limited to the examples mentioned for each strut type. Manual Locknut strut 4^ Definition of terms Remote shoring: The process by which a shore is positioned in an unsafe area and then extended from a remote safe location by either pneumatic or hydraulic pressure. Manual or automatic follow-up shoring: Shoring used to follow a load that is being lifted by other...

Strut application comparison Pneumatic Locknut strut Pneumatic Locknut strut. This strut can be used for vehicle, trench or collapsed structure rescue when there is no need for remote shoring (it is locked manually). In situations where compressed air is not available or required it can also be used as a manual strut. Application examples: • • • • Manual follow-up shoring in (heavy) vehicle and collapsed structure lifting operations Light vehicle stabilization Trench shoring (also secondary / replacement shoring) Collapsed structure shoring, as a manual strut Pneumatic Locknut strut used as...

Strut application comparison Hydraulic Locknut strut Hydraulic Locknut strut. Combining a 100 kN / 10.1 t holding capacity with a 100 kN / 10.1 t lifting capacity this powerful strut can be used for lifting and stabilization in one, with a second hydraulic strut acting as a backup. It is a good choice for (heavy) vehicle and collapsed structure shoring and lifting. Although being a little heavier than the pneumatic type it is also suitable for trench shoring. Light vehicle stabilization with hydraulic Locknut struts. Heavy vehicle stabilization with hydraulic Locknut struts. Application...

PowerShore applications Vehicle rescue It is very important to rapidly stabilize a vehicle in the position it is found in, before starting extrication rescue efforts. The reason for this, is that any movement of the vehicle during these efforts may lead to further injury of those trapped inside. In some cases it may also be necessary to carefully lift a (heavy goods) vehicle, e.g. in car under-run situations or to free a trapped limb. The Holmatro PowerShore system can be used for both stabilization and controlled lifting of (heavy) vehicles. Extensions, heads and base plate used for light...
