Mobile Tool Chest
PELICAN PRODUCTS INC. has introduced the 1460TOOL mobile tool chest, featuring a two-level, extra-deep, customizable tray system that lifts out of the case on reinforced stainless-steel brackets. The trays, with interchangeable dividers, accommodate a wide variety of configurations to protect and organize hand tools and accessories. When the case is closed, its lid and tray system form a seal that secures all parts inside so that the case can be flipped upside down and the contents will stay organized. The chest is engineered with an open cell-core wall, polymer construction that protects sensitive equipment from the harshest conditions.

Thermal Imaging Camera
DRÄGER has introduced the UCF 7000 thermal imaging camera, offering a high level of safety and performance for firefighters and first responders.

With a high-resolution 160x120 pixels, the camera provides responders with detailed images in any location that must be searched quickly and safely. It has three application-specific operating modes for firefighting, search and rescue, and overhaul to optimize image display and facilitate emergency situation assessment. The ThermalScan operating mode lets responders highlight a set temperature threshold when searching for hot spots.

Foam Eductors
TASK FORCE TIPS INC. offers a new line of 250- and 350-gpm foam eductors specifically designed to handle the new thicker, alcohol-resistant foam concentrates (ARCs). The new 250 and 350 Foam Eductor series are specifically designed for 2½- and three-inch attack hoselines with high-flow applications. The eductors’ stainless-steel pickup tubes do not have a screen on its inlet, as screens, although good for the lighter Class A and AFFF foam concentrates, have the potential to block the uptake of the heavier, thicker alcohol-resistant concentrates. The eductors are key components in the PRO/pak portable foam system, although hidden from view by the system’s high-impact plastic reservoir case.
