It is important to have stable contact points
between the vehicle
and your straps.
Also always try to
attach your straps
as low as possible.
Vehicle on its side / on its roof

Special attention should always be given to potential hazards. This can include dangerous uids that may have leaked out o the vehicle.
RUT CHOICE: A good strut type or this application is a basic manual strut. STRUT CHOICE: A good strut type or this application is a hydraulic Auto-lock type.
To ensure the vehicle will not roll towards its
roof side, start by supporting it under the A
and C pillars.
Think ahead, avoid
placing stabilization in
areas where you are
likely to need to cut
later during the extrication.
Now place a base for your shore on the other
side of the vehicle.
It may also be useful to preposition the tension
straps you will need later to secure the base
of your shore.
Next, position your shore between the
vehicle and the base.
Remember to pay attention to the point of
contact between the vehicle and
your shore ensuring a
stable point of contact.
A cross head usually
works best for this.
Finally, secure your shore by tightening
the tension straps between the base and
the vehicle. At the same time recheck your
chocks on the other side.
In some cases it may also be necessary to
stabilize the top / roof side of the vehicle.
By using two hydraulic struts it is also
possible to lift a vehicle on its side in a very
controlled manner so as to free a trapped
limb.

1 Chock the space between the roof of thevehicle and the ground.
This may be easiest
with inverted
step chocks.
In some cases it may be necessary to add
additional blocks between the enginecompartment and the windshield for added
stability.
The pillars of a vehicle on its roof are, in most
cases, supporting the weight of the underside
of the car. For this reason, shoring to take
over this support should be applied before
cutting any of the pillars to create space.
By using the tension straps attached to the
base of your shores in combination with
the opening of the shores, the system is
secured.
It should now be possible to make any cuts
through pillars that may be necessary for
space creation.
If components of the vehicle will be lifted
with the ram to create space, the change in
height should be secured by following up
with the struts.
When the space has been created and the
shores are locked in place, detach and
remove any unnecessary hoses that may be
tripped over.

Large vehicle stabilization / liftingAlways consider the load that a heavy goods vehicle may be carrying. Also think about how your movement o a truck may aect this load.
Finally remember that large vehicles normally have heavy suspension with a large amount o travel which can complicate stabilization and liting.
mportant considerations
980.000.298
RUT CHOICE: A good strut type or this application is a hydraulic Locknut type.
These types o rescue situations can vary
signiicantly. For this reason a range o
important considerations are given rather
than a step by step procedure.
The need or liting large vehicles is not limited
to trucks. While a truck vs. car under-run
is used in this step by step approach, the
principles discussed can be applied to a host
o other liting rescue situations.
Always begin with an
initial saety assessmentconsidering any hazards
to your approach.

When it is time to begin stabilizing the vehicle,
always begin by chocking any wheels that are
still touching the ground.
It is also important to strap down components
o the vehicle or load that may move during
rescue eorts.
Consider, or instance, a loating cabin on a
heavy goods vehicle.
Beore deciding on shoring placement, it
is good to get an overview o the situation
allowing one to better understand where the
center o gravity lies and what type o load
shits may occur.
Always start with the base plate, making sure,
by using tension straps, that you control all
possible horizontal and lateral orces within the
triangle o stability.
When considering assembly o your shores,
make rough measurements irst. This will
help the rescuer maximize the use o shore
stroke or any adjusting that may be required
later.
When positioning your shores consider the
most appropriate angle.
It is best to use a swivel type
head in this situation so that
the load will always be
directed through the axis
o your shore.
Always remember to consider the inal result
o your intended lit, bearing in mind that the
angle and length o your shores wil l change as
the lit is perormed.
Use a minimum o two
shores. This helps balance
the load being shored aswell as it provides a back up.
Dont orget the large suspension
normally ound on these vehicles.
Wheels touching the ground may not
be ully loaded, and so may easily roll.

Once the shores are in place at the
appropriate angle, all slack should be taken
out o the tension straps between
the shores bases.
Never move under an unsecured load.
When working near an unstable load
always work on one knee, allowing
one to move away quickly i required.
Always remember to construct shores to replace
the integrity o a vehicles structure (such as a
roo) that is going to be cut away during the
rescue eort.
Beore beginning to lit the load, always
recheck the chocking o wheels still in contact
with the ground. It is also good to post
rescuers at dierent locations around the load
to check or any abnormal movement during
the lit.
Coordination o the liting process should
be controlled by one assigned rescuer rom
a position with a good view o the ull liting
process.
No shored load is secure until it
is mechanically locked.
Mechanical locking o shores should be done
at the same time on both sides. This will help
avoid rollover i there is ailure o the liting
system.
When locking the shores be sure to grip the
locknut rom below so as to avoid a pinch
hazard.
Throughout the liting process recheck the
chocks.
Only lit the load as much as necessary to
achieve the rescue.

Always lift with a good overview of the situation. Small lifting
actions in one area can dramatically affect the structure elsewhere.
Progressive lifting
Trench rescue approach
he procedure The procedure
The greatest risk to the approaching rescuers is a secondary
collapse leading to the rescuer becoming trapped in the trench. The
following approach aims to minimize this risk.

All lited loads should always be backed up using blocks,
wedge blocks or a mechanically locked shoring system.
Never place your fngers under or near a load being lited.
Start by ensuring all necessary liting
equipment is readily available. This equipment
should ideally be staged close by.
Create an opening or your high
pressure liting bag(s). In many cases thisis best done with a hydraulic wedge.
The space created by the hydraulic wedge
should be secured using wedge blocks.
Now slide your liting bag into place. This is
best done with a wedge block against the bag
so that your ingers are not in danger.
Always position your bag(s) completely (past
the center o the bag) under the load beore
inlating.
As the liting bag is inlated, the progression
to the next liting tool can be considered.
In this case the logical progression is to a liting
jack.
I the liting bag needs to be let in place, a
shut-o hose with a saety valve should
be used.
Larger liting bags can also be backed up using
automatic ollow-up shoring.
Always be extra cautious when liting loads
at angles. Be sure that your liting action
will not cause
the load to shituncontrollably.
This is best
controlled by
good chocking.
Always approach the trench rom the head,
with caution, using edge padding to spread
your weight over the ground.
Ater placing a ladder in the trench at the head,
encourage those in the trench who are not
entrapped to leave the trench.
Once contact has been made
with a conscious patient this
contact should never be broken.
In the meantime, other members o the team
can begin to place boards at the edge o the
trench so as to spread the weight o rescuers
who will be working there.
It may also be necessary to position more
ladders to allow escape or those remaining
in the trench or or any rescuers that may
accidentally all in during rescue eorts.
Never approach the edge o a trench without edge
padding in place no matter how stable it might seem.
It may also be necessary to clear the soil pile
rom close to the edge to allow access.
Ater doing this, always place boards on the
ground to help spread the weight.
Perorm gas monitoring
continuously and provide
necessary ventilation.
Finally, your trench rescue equipment should
be staged in a speciic order, allowing quick
and easy access to the tools required.
Rescuers should never move
into an un-shored trench.
Secondarry zone reserved or
all other emergency service
personnel. All non-emergency
service persons should be kept
clear o these two zones.
Inner or action circle or rescuers
directly involved.
Shoring board used as edge
padding.
Ladder(s) or acces.
Atmospheric monitoring and
necessary ventilation.
Low pressure bag used or backfll
behind shoring.
Staging area or additional
secondary shoring material.

Position the shoring team with one rescuer
on the limited access side (where the soil pile
normally is) and at least two on the working
side.
From the working side, position the irst shoring plank into thetoe on the opposite (limited access) side o the trench.
This shoring plank should be let lying against the edge o the
working side o the trench.
Now slide the irst shoring board
over the shoring plank already in
place.
Next pass the shoring plank and board together to the limited
access side o trench. These can then be held in place by the
one rescuer on the limited access side o the trench.
From the working side place the second shoring plank into the
toe o the working side o the trench.
Again rom the working side, slide the second shoring board
into place using the shoring plank to guide it into the working
side toe.
Ater doing this the shoring plank can be handed back to the
working side. 8
9 While the shoring planks and boards are beingpositioned, the irst shores can be conigured,
based on the width o the trench.
10 Using ropes lower the first shore to the bottom of the trench no morethan 0.6 m / 2 ft. from the floor. Then extend the shore enough to
hold it in place using the required system.
The advantage of an Auto-lock type strut is that it will lock in place
without a rescuer having to move into the trench.
11 Now check or the need to backill with soilor liting bags in any spaces let between the
shoring boards and the walls o the trench.
Ater doing this the shore can be extended.
Locking is achieved automatically when using
an Auto-lock type strut.
Never enter a trench that is not completely shored
with a mechanically locked system.
12 The same procedure should be ollowed or the top shore.The top shore should not be positioned more than
0.6 m / 2 t. below the edge o the trench.
There should not be more than
1.2 m / 4 t. between shores. I
necessary, more than two levels o
shoring may need to be used.
15 Until the shores are nailed in place, all ropesused to lower the shores should be secured
above.
In some cases it may be necessary to replace
your emergency shoring with other secondary
shores such as wood or simple industrial type
shores. This is normally seen in long trenches
where multiple sae areas need to be created.
Shores that do not lock
automatically should be locked
starting with the top shore as
rescuers move into the sae
area created. Hoses o locked
shores can be removed.
13
At the same time,
nailing the shores in
place can begin.
14
Pass the top o this shoring plank
to the limited access side where
it should be rested against theshoring plank and board already in
place.

Window / doorway shores T / Spot shores
This shore system makes use o two shores
with one header and ooter the width o the
opening. The shore system should be
assembled in a sae area and then moved
into place.
First make rough measurements or estimations
o the width o the opening.
On the basis o this, cut or choose two pieces
o wood to use as the header and ooter o the
system.
Ater placing the header and ooter
on top o each other in the opening,
measure the length o shore required.
Now select the appropriate struts and
extensions or the measured space and
assemble two shores o the same length.
Now that the shores are assembled, nail
the heads to either end o the wood header
ensuring the shores remain parallel.
In some cases it may be helpul to leave space
to the outside o the shores to allow secondaryshoring later i required. A wood ooter can be
prepared in the same way.
Always position any air
or hydraulic connection
points to the outside o
the window or doorway.
The assembled shore system can now be
moved into place.
Now extend and lock the shores
in place using the required
system.

normally installed with wood above and below
to spread the load.
Depending on the nature o the
ground you are working on, it
may be best to make use o
tilting heads at the base.
Make rough measurements or estimations o the
shore length needed.
I a doorway shore is already in place, a
measurement o the extra length to the roo can
be added to the height o the doorway shore.
Now select the appropriate struts and
extensions or the measured space and
assemble your shore in a sae environment.
A beam support head should be nailed to the
center o the timber header.
A timber ooter may be prepared in the sameway i required.
Extend and lock the shore in place using the
required system.
Remember that as the length o any shore
increases, load capacity decreases.
As a inal step remove any hoses or other
components that may get in the way during rescue
operations.
