JUNK YARD DOG - LARGE ZSTRUT STYLE RESCUE STRUT SET

The Large ZSTRUT Style Rescue Strut Set reimagines rescue stabilization with a modern, collar-locking system that replaces traditional adjustment pins. Built on the proven tension-buttress principle, ZSTRUTs deploy quickly and secure a vehicle efficiently — often by a single responder in critical situations.

Each strut features a 4-gauge solid-wall steel outer tube and an inner, threaded stainless steel rod. The collar mechanism allows fine adjustment: simply pull up to extend, rotate to lock or fine-tune, and pull the collar to retract. The base is polymer-coated for superior grip, and the base and clevis articulate independently so the base remains flush with the ground under load.

The set arrives fully equipped with accessories permanently attached to each strut, eliminating the need for separate storage or gear bags. It supports rapid deployment and reduces reliance on bulky cribbing systems, making the ZSTRUT set ideal for vehicular rescue, extrication, and structural stabilization tasks.
