DALEK Disaster Salvage Kits

Emergency preparedness is an essential part of collection care and risk management across the heritage sector. Extreme weather events, flooding, fire and other emergencies can place both people and collections at risk, making it important to have appropriate salvage equipment readily available.

Triptych has developed the DALEK Disaster Salvage Kits to provide a practical, organised and readily accessible solution for emergency collection salvage. Designed to support the initial response following an incident, the DALEK can be deployed during the safe assessment of a disaster and used to initiate salvage procedures in accordance with your organisation's Disaster Plan.

The modular DALEK system is highly manoeuvrable and supplied on a specialised trolley, allowing it to be moved efficiently to the incident site. Individual components can also be carried separately where access or site conditions make this necessary.

Reflective signage makes the DALEK easy to identify in low-light conditions and clearly signals its dedicated emergency response function. The modular design also allows the system to be adapted to the needs of individual organisations, with additional equipment and storage bins able to be incorporated as required.
