Product information "T&J Rescue Enterprises- TL-9 STABILIZER"
Provisional Patent 62/345,056
The TL-9 Stabilizer is the firefighter-designed solution for safely and efficiently performing vertical lifts with hydraulic spreaders (H.R.T.) when freeing victims trapped beneath vehicles. Built from ½-inch AS-36 solid steel, the TL-9 dramatically increases contact surface area and lateral support—addressing the primary stability concerns that have long surrounded this lifting technique.
Why It’s Needed
Traditional hydraulic spreader tips are just over 2 inches wide, providing limited contact with both the ground and the load. As the lift progresses, contact surface decreases, reducing stability. The TL-9 solves this by combining a solid 6″×6″ base plate for maximum ground contact with gusseted steel towers that provide unmatched lateral support and controlled spreader travel.
Key Features & Benefits
Proven Strength – Compression tested to 50 tons.
Increased Stability – Gusseted 4.5″ towers positioned ~2″ apart, plus a traveling limit pin to lock the spreader at 70% open.
Optimized Lift Heights – At 70% open, lift heights range from 19–30 inches, depending on the H.R.T. model.
Rapid Deployment – Quick to set up, easy to operate, and highly efficient in critical rescue situations.
Firefighter-Engineered – Designed by firefighters for firefighters, with safety, speed, and operational simplicity in mind.
Construction & Design
Material: ½″ AS-36 solid steel
Base Plate: 6″ × 6″ for increased ground contact
Gusseted Towers: Provide rigid lateral support and alignment
Travel Limit Pin: Prevents over-extension and locks the spreader into a secure groove for added stability
