Window Training
The window has a Denver Drill insert placed on barrel hinges for effortless removal. By swinging the insert over and securing it with pins, it can be easily positioned for the desired drill. The interior of the container has designated slots for holding lumber for the specifications of the Denver Drill.
Adjustable Pitch Roof
The adjustable pitch roof offers a variety of roof pitches, ranging from 8/12 to 0/12, the roof prop provides flexibility. Standardized with an 8′ wide aluminum receiver, it can be effortlessly adjusted by a single individual. This design enables straightforward adjustability and removal of 2″ x 6′ components. Additionally, there is an optional 12′ wide receiver available (refer to the photo) for added customization.
Forcible Entry Door
Forcible entry door system is equipped with both inner and outer swinging doors. Each forcible door includes wood inserts in the door jam to simulate realistic entry scenarios with swift resets. For an added challenge, extra 2″ x 2″ wood square dowels can be inserted to create a more difficult breach. The interior walls of the Prop are adjustable for the Denver Drill, which facilitates confined space breach training.
Roof Hatch
The Taylor’d Prop comes standard with a 30″ x 30″ roof hatch with a steel covering, providing a comfortable platform for individuals to stand on the roof. The hatch facilitates tripod work for each department and is compatible with larger tripods like the Arizona Vortex Multipod. Additionally, the roof hatch allows for ceiling ventilation training by simply sliding a sheet of OSB or sheetrock under it. To simulate a roof joist, a 2″ x 2″ square dowel can be installed.
Bailout Window
Situated on the second story, the bailout window is positioned at 11′ 6″ from the ground and has dimensions of 44″ x 36″. The window width and height can be compressed to simulate a smaller window using vertical and horizontal struts. Metal paneling enables minimal adjustment of extended ladders. The D-rings positioned above the window are rated for 5,000 lbs. for belaying.
Wall Breach Simulator
The container door can be opened, facilitating two lower and two upper catches for holding a framed wall built with 2″ x 4″. The wall catches have designated places to hold four sheets of OSB or sheetrock to simulate a building’s wall. Or simply just use OSB to practice garage door venting techniques.
Staircase Addition (Available on Series 12)
The staircase optional upgrade replaces the adjustable pitch roof with the aluminum staircase set. The staircase consists of nine pieces (upper, landing, lower, and six railing attachments), making this addition easy to move, install, and store. Detachable railings ensure straight forward assembly, and the lower section of the stairs can be used to aid trainees in accessing the roof prop.
