Hand Tool - Salvage Kit - Big Red Truck Products

Big Red Truck Salvage Kit

The Big Red Truck Salvage Kit is a compact, modular hand-tool system developed for fire and emergency service crews undertaking salvage, overhaul and post-incident clean-up operations.

Made in Australia, the kit is designed around interchangeable handles and tool heads, allowing crews to configure the tool required for the task without carrying multiple full-length dedicated tools. This provides a practical, space-efficient solution for fire appliances, rescue vehicles and specialist response units where storage capacity is limited.

The kit supports a broad range of operational tasks including opening wall and ceiling linings, pulling damaged materials, clearing debris, moving water, sweeping work areas and general clean-up following structural firefighting or rescue operations.

Standard Kit Contents

• 2 × Butt End Grip Handles
• 1 × Extension Handle
• 1 × Drywall Hook
• 1 × Oz Hook
• 1 × Broom Head
• 1 × Squeegee Head
• 1 × Square Nose Shovel

Component Applications

Butt End Grip Handle
Provides the primary hand grip and connection point for the interchangeable tool heads. Two handles are supplied to allow multiple tool configurations to be assembled or deployed as required.

Extension Handle
Increases the working reach of the tool system, assisting crews when working on ceilings, elevated wall areas or locations where additional stand-off distance is required.

Drywall Hook
Designed for pulling, opening and removing plasterboard, ceiling linings and similar lightweight construction materials during overhaul and inspection operations.

Oz Hook

A versatile pulling and overhaul tool suited to a range of emergency service applications, including removing damaged materials, accessing concealed spaces and assisting with debris clearance. When fitted with a suitable bow shackle at the tool head, the Oz Hook can also be connected to a rope and used as an extended reach tool during flood and swift water operations. This provides crews with an additional option for reaching, guiding or presenting a line from a safer stand-off position where direct access may be difficult or hazardous.

Broom Head
Provides crews with a practical sweeping attachment for clearing debris, ash and loose materials from the incident area during salvage and clean-up operations.

Squeegee Head
Designed to move and control standing water across hard surfaces, helping crews remove excess water and minimise secondary water damage following firefighting operations.

Square Nose Shovel
Suitable for lifting and moving debris, ash and damaged building materials. The square nose design is particularly effective for clearing material from flat surfaces and carrying out general incident clean-up.
