2-Sided Wheel Resting Half Lift |
|
|
| An accident victim trapped beneath a wheel resting vehicle can be a
time-consuming operation. The application of Res-Q-Jacks® to such a
situation may be the answer to speed up the rescue. If the patient’s
position allows for application of a single jack at the side of the
vehicle near an ‘A’ post, a single lifting strut along with cribbing
may be all that is necessary to free the patient utilizing the
Res-Q-Jack® single-sided wheel resting half lift technique. However,
the position of the patient may not permit application. Alternate
techniques include the application of two res-q-jack® lifting struts in
a 2-sided wheel resting half lift configuration. This method can be
applied to the front end of the vehicle or the rear end. If purchase
points are not readily available, a chain wrap will be the most likely
choice for strut engagement. As always, follow your lift with cribbing
adequate enough to handle the load being lifted. Vehicle must be
secured to avoid forward or rearward movement. |
