ADS developed the Joint Forces Extrication Kit at the request of the military in order more widely proliferate the tools needed to extract personnel from disabled armored vehicles. When an up-armored HMMWV or MRAP rolls, it can be very difficult to gain access to anyone inside, especially as the doors are so heavy. After receiving the requirement and conducting a quick market survey ADS was able to assemble this kit.
It consists of the Power Hawk Technologies Rescue Tool which is a battery powered system. This makes it lightweight but still offers ample torque (72,000 inch pounds) to get the job done. The cross over jaws can be used to cut, pry, or peel open vehicle or aircraft skins in order to gain access. It can also be used on structures or debris. The JFEK also includes the Husqvarna K760 Rescue Saw with three diamond tip blades that can be used to cut through locks, into wood and metal walls as well as transparent armor. The 30? Halligan tool is used for prying and a 4 lbs sledge and 2000 lbs come along round out the kit’s contents. ADS can also customize the kit with additional items as needed.
