GSF Slides have recently returned from the Fire Department Instructors’ Conference (FDIC) in Indianapolis. With more than 900 manufacturers and suppliers showcasing their latest products and technologies the FDIC is arguably the world’s largest fire show.
It was an exciting year for GSF and as well as having their products demonstrated on a number of vehicles at the show GSF has also ensured that one of the US’s most successful OEM’s are now making GSF products standard across their range.
I asked Alec Don, GSF’s Export Director why GSF was having such a positive impact in the US.
“Our products are fully field tested, featuring high strength components and providing maximum health and safety benefits for the fire operators. These are the qualities that make GSF such an important supplier and as new users become more convinced about the merits our products can offer we know that they will start calling for more and more GSF products.”
GSF’s telescopic slides and slide and tilt systems have already impressed the US markets and Alec has high hopes for the future of Europe.
“One of the things that interested me was that the Pro Mount range of tool mount products is now in almost universal use on US fire trucks. This is down to the obvious quality of the product guaranteed for the entire vehicle life, the fact that it is now a complete range with a solution for safely stowing every type of fire tool, and finally that there is an undoubted benefit for OEMs to standardise on an off-the-shelf range of tool mounting, as opposed to trying to continuously design and fabricate their own mounting solutions. We fully expect Pro Mount to be as important a product in the European market as it is in the US and the UK.”
