The kit has been developed in response to operational feedback from bomb technicians. It facilitates access to buildings and the clearance of internal spaces. Specialist tools include a hydraulic- arm remote door opener designed to open doors swiftly and effectively and a range of building anchor points for attaching lines and pulleys.
“The HAL Building Accessory Kit is an essential item of equipment for any bomb technician faced with a potential IED located in a building,” said Roy Peers-Smith, president and chief executive officer at Allen-Vanguard. “Each component is simple and quick to operate, reducing the time spent by the bomb technician in close proximity to any device, as well as being safe and reliable. The kit boosts the comprehensive rigging capability of the field-proven HAL BombTec™ system.”
The HAL Building Accessory Kit sits alongside the existing Vehicle Access Kit and provides a perfect complementary capability.
