DROP / PINCH FRAME
The core of all Hackney Classic rescue's is the drop/pinch frame technology. Space typically unusable below the frame rails now becomes valuable storage. Heavy, bulky equipment is stored low to the ground. Compartment configurations are more simplistic, resulting is quick and simple access to all inventory.
Strength characteristics are actually increased upwards of 2.8 times the original frame rail rating.
PTO GENERATOR
The drop/pinch frame permits the PTO generator to be mounted inside the left front compartment. The generator is protected from corrosive road spray, protecting an expensive investment.
Even with a 35KW, 150-amp system, as shown on right, the compartment can be configured to maximize storage while at the same time providing visible access to the breaker panel and a convenient location for handlights and light tower controls.
STORAGE COMPARTMENTS
NOT AN INCH OF WASTED SPACE
The compartment design, working in cubes, makes storage of inventory so simple. Compartments can be sliced and diced, but they remain simple, placing all equipment visible and easily accessible. Note the 40” of depth at the lower floor level, extending all the way to the top of the compartment.
This very maneuverable rescue packs over 600 cu.ft. of storage capacity, plus storage compartments on the roof. Cubic foot displacement is not calculated to include space above the top of the door opening. It’s actual useable pass-thru space.
Door tracks, adjustable shelf tracks, and LED lighting are all recessed into the side walls. Zero wasted space!
Fast & Simple Access
The rear drop frame permits a full height compartment for installation of all hydraulic rescue tools and equipment. Shown are three individual slide trays with pre-connected spreader, cutter, rams, fixed and portable power units.
40” – 42” compartment depths from floor to ceiling permits installation of slide-out tool boards that are simple to configure and that accommodate even heavy technical rescue equipment for fast and simple access.
EASY CONVENIENCE
Large and bulky equipment, such as the overpack drum shown above left or Stanley Hydraulic too shown above right, can be stored at floor level. Impossible without incorporation of a drop/pinch frame.
Inventory access is low to the ground. Compartments can inexpensively be equipped with variations of shelves, slide trays and tool boards, all set up to accommodate your specific equipment requirements.
Heavy technical rescue equipment such as a Stanley tool can be wheeled directly into and out of the low-profile compartment due to the 40" lower compartment depth, available only on drop / pinch frame HAckney Classic.
Space Saving Shutter Door Tracks
Conventional shutter door tracks protrude into the compartment opening. This translates into a tray width that is as much as 8” less wide as the compartment in order to pass through the opening. Note photo on right showing a tray in the Hackney Classis body virtually the same width as the compartment by virtue of the recessed door tracks.
