"The Res-Q-Jack system differs from the others in that it actually uses . . . an adjustable jacking unit built into it (Figure 7-102). The Res-Q-Jack uses three tensioned stabilization points around the vehicle - two struts on one side and the adjustable strut positioned on the opposite side. The final step in stabilizing the overturned vehicle involves operation of the jacking unit to secure the stabilized load. . . . Buttressed stabilization used for a vehicle that is on its edge or that has rolled over makes an immense difference in rescue work. . . . a properly deployed tensioned buttress system placed into position against a rolled-over vehicle can truly make the vehicle rock solid. The tensioned buttress stabilization technique is simple, safe, quick, and extremely effective."
