Fire Hydrant Cutaway Poster, Great ISO Training Solution
Posted on March 29th, 2010 No comments
Have you been looking for a Fire Hydrant Cutaway to fill a requirement for an upcoming inspection? Are you finding the $2,000 to $4,500 price tag for a full size hydrant cutaway to be a bit cost prohibitive? CalCo has just the solution for you:
A 6-foot-tall, full-color Fire Hydrant Cutaway Banner may be able to fill in for the real thing. While the final decision ultimately lies in your inspector’s hands, many times this type of solution is valid, and at a fraction of the cost, only $195.00 with a portable banner stand included!
It has been found that a thorough understanding of the parts and relationships involved in your standard street corner hydrant can be critical when in an emergency situation. This knowledge is most effectively taught through the use of a full size, hands on hydrant, which operates the same way an installed hydrant does. However, when this type of tool is unavailable, the Fire Hydrant Cutaway Banner is the next best thing.
All of the important internal features are prominently displayed in ‘close to full scale’ size, making understanding and visualizing the real thing easier than using a poster size photograph or drawing.
Be sure to check with your inspector or local ISO/State (or whichever organization is running the inspections) to see if this solution will qualify for your location, and then call 847-639-3858 and have your credit card handy to get as many on order as you need for your area.
In the cross section between safety education and budget requirements, the Fire Hydrant Cutaway Banner is the overflowing winner!

An Expert Agrees “It’s What’s on the Inside That Counts…”
Posted on March 9th, 2010 No comments
It’s what’s on the inside that counts…
How many times have truer words never been spoken? When recently introducing our newest outboard engine, this was truly where the story lie…on the inside.
I immediately thought of using a cutaway of this new engine to show prospective customers the game-changing thinking and technology inside it. Having used CalCo’s services in the past, the cutaway they expertly prepared helped greatly by allowing me to both show and explain the internal technology that makes our new V6 outboard powerhead so one-of-a-kind. In fact, numerous customers commented on the cutaway’s ability to help them see and understand the features that created the benefits, as discussed in various product introduction presentations and materials.
It should be noted that, at the time this cutaway was created, the product had not yet been introduced anywhere in the world, so strict confidentiality measures had to be followed. In addition, the actual powerhead that was used for the cutaway was one of only four in the world at the time, so a replacement was not available. Add in the fact that we only had a few weeks to get this fully prepared and on-site, and it’s plain to see there was absolutely no room for error!
You’ve heard it said that “a picture is worth a thousand words”. Having this cutaway as a teaching tool was equally as invaluable. In short, the level of detail shown in the cutaway Calco prepared stole the show, and made my job a lot easier. It’s why I’ve used them 3 times previous, and will call them again next time I need cutaway services.
