Knockdown Walkaway® Spring Clip Bracket (Standard)

Ziamatic WALKAWAY® Knock‑Down (KD) SCBA Spring Clip Brackets provide a cost‑effective, flexible solution for storing SCBA cylinders while maintaining quick access for First Responders. These unassembled brackets allow departments to perform field assembly while retaining the same WALKAWAY® spring clip functionality used in assembled models.
