Test for the Best


The Pro Mount Tool Mounting System has been specifically designed to provide a secure method for tool storage. Having been rigorously tested by the US Navy the Pro Mount tool mounting system has been praised for it’s health and safety benefits and longwearing work-life, as well as it’s practical and useful design.  Current tool mounting systems used by the UK military are generally designed from fibreglass and Velcro products which are not as durable and suffer from hard handling, corrosion and deterioration.

The US Navy shock tested the Pro Mount system in line with their MIL-S-901D qualification. Nine high impact blows were conducted vertically, 30 degrees on a front down inclination and a 30 degree side down inclination, to simulate the rough seas and the type of damage incurred during wartime service, such as the effects of nuclear or conventional weapons.

The materials used in the system have also been tested and made of highly durable and non corrosive materials, including polypropylene, glassed filled nylons and a mixture of high silicon and high rubber elastics in its strengthening straps and soft mounts.

Indeed US Navy has commended the products rugged fast lock and instant release mechanisms and recommended them for ‘all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense,’ having proved highly dependable in emergency and hostile environments.

Initial trials have been so successful that the system is currently being installed in the US latest aircraft carrier and across the US Airforce and Military.
