Every extrication scene moves fast, and your tools should keep up. The ZICO - Ziamatic Corp. Multiple Extrication Tool Holder (QM-MEH) is a rotating "Lazy Susan" platform that secures up to four extrication tools, cutters, spreaders, and combination tools, whether hydraulic or battery-powered, in one compact footprint. Adjustable brackets fit most major tool brands, so crews aren't locked into a single manufacturer. To access a tool, crews simply press the yellow paddle to release the lock and rotate the platform. The mechanism locks safely into place every 90 degrees, keeping tools secure in transit and ready the moment they're needed. Less searching, less strain, faster access when seconds matter.
