Junk Yard Dog - Medium ZSTRUT Style Rescue Strut Set

The Medium ZSTRUT Style Rescue Strut Set reinvents rescue stabilization by replacing traditional pin-based adjustment systems with a quick-locking collar — streamlining deployment without sacrificing control.

Built on the “tension buttress” principle, this self-contained strut system allows rapid, secure stabilization even in tight or constrained spaces. Designed with input from real rescue operations, the Medium ZSTRUT is sized to optimize space in fire engines and rescue trucks while still delivering robust capability.

Each strut is constructed with a 4-gauge solid-wall steel outer tube and an inner 304 stainless steel threaded rod, with dual ZipNut® adjustment collars for fine-tuning. The base and clevis articulate independently so the base remains flat on the ground under load. All accessories are permanently attached to each strut, eliminating the need for separate storage or setup at the scene.

Whether stabilizing a vehicle, supporting extrication, or reinforcing a compromised structure, this Medium ZSTRUT set is crafted for speed, precision, and operational reliability.
