MANIPULATOR
The TM 500 Telescopic Manipulator is the
World's first manual manipulator designed specifically to
handle explosive devices and dangerous materials. The TM
500 fills a need that has not been safely addressed before.
Featuring a highly sophisticated robotics hand/claw
balanced by a counterweight and strap system, an operator
can easily manipulate objects at a distance of over 3 meters
(10 feet). Should detonation occur, the pole is equipped with
break away feature that ensures minimal recoil effect and
vubstantially reduces risk of injury.
