Paratech produces several different bases and heads for use on our struts in vehicle stabilization scenarios. From the all in one VSK Base 12 with it’s integrated spring return ratchet strap to our versatile Multi-Base, we have something to fit your needs. Paratech prides itself on simple, intuitive design, and that carries forward into our vehicle stabilization bases, finding the perfect blend of capability and ease of use.

All of our strut system heads and bases are milled from solid aircraft grade aluminum, never cast, to ensure reliable and uniform strength in every piece, then hard-coat anodized to maximize it’s strength and resistance to the elements.

Paratech Strut System Heads and Bases

Dual Base

The Dual Base has two 45 degree swivel strut cups, each with a 5,000 lb WLL anchor ring, mounted to a quick action rotating mounting plates. The rotating mounting plates can be moved 360 degrees, and locked and unlocked with a simple quarter turn locking knob. The Dual Base itself is made from hard coat anodized aluminum for maximum durability. The base plate has holes for pickets, and concrete anchors.

It has four holes along each side for securing the base to the ground with rebar or steel pickets, and one hole on each side to secure the hinged base plate to concrete using concrete anchors.

Spike Base

The Spike Base has replaceable stainless steel spikes that will dig into sheet metal, a V shape for cradling the load and a cone feature to dig into purchase points on a vehicle.
