Vehicle Stabilization Shoring
Stabilize for Rescue
AcmeThread, LongShore
Paratech has two shoring systems for vehicle stabilization, the AcmeThread shoring system, and the LongShore shoring system. The AcmeThread is the smaller of the two systems, lighter and more mobile at the cost of some load capacity. The LongShore system is the strongest shoring system on the market with increased load capacities, but with added strength comes added weight.
When combined with Paratech’s extensive array of vehicle stabilization accessories, there is no better way to lock down a vehicle and prevent movement. Paratech offers chains for chain basket lifts and stabilization, J-Hooks and tow-keys for find purchase points, dozens of heads and bases to ensure rescuers have exactly what they need, and much much more.
AcmeThread Rescue Strut System
The Paratech AcmeThread Struts are comprised of a 2½” diameter Acme threaded aluminum movable solid shaft that extends out of a 3” diameter aluminum tube. The AcmeThread is a square thread that allows full surface contact of the shaft through the collar and the collar full surface contact on the tube to transfer the load directly to the ground. AcmeThread Struts can be extended manually or pneumatically with air, carbon dioxide, or nitrogen with the VSK controller in vehicle stabilization scenarios. The AcmeThread shore is exceptionally well suited to shoring nearly any sized vehicle where the total shore length is shorter.
LongShore Rescue Strut System
The Paratech LongShore Struts are comprised of a 3” diameter threaded aluminum movable shaft that extends out of a 3½” diameter aluminum tube. The square thread allows full surface contact of the shaft through the collar and the collar full surface contact on the tube to transfer the load directly to the ground. LongShore Struts can be extended manually or pneumatically with air, carbon dioxide or nitrogen with the VSK controller in vehicle stabilization scenarios. LongShore rescue struts are the perfect choice for exceptionally heavy loads or longer length shores.
