Finer Mesh, Greater Flexibility

Discover the A20 Basket

When washing or drying SCBAs, the standard A03 basket sometimes allows straps or smaller components to protrude through its larger 40x40mm mesh.

The A20 Basket offers a practical alternative with its finer 20x20mm mesh, ensuring all parts are securely contained.

Besides that, it’s perfect for up to 9 masks or other delicate items.

A20 Fine mesh basket

Designed for Harstra’s drying cabinets (M18, M45, F12) and washing systems (W9, W4, W6), the A20 Basket provides flexibility for a variety of cleaning and drying needs. Made from durable stainless steel, it’s a seamless addition to your setup.

Rico Vis || Technical Employee || Harstra

Hi, I’m Rico. I’ve been with Harstra for 11 years now, starting as part of a so-called ‘work-learn’ program. I began with level 2 vocational training and successfully completed level 3.

Working alongside Harstra’s former owners, I helped develop many products. Now, with Groku, we’ve finally been able to produce the M18 and M45 entirely in stainless steel.

My role is incredibly diverse; I handle everything from the initial setup to the packing of our products. The variety in my work keeps every day different and exciting.

One of my favorite projects is the stainless steel M18/M45. Now, we’re also working on drying cabinets for America, and the positive feedback we’ve received has been very motivating.

Outside of work, my wife and I are busy renovating a house we bought last year. I also love going out to dinner with her and spending time with friends at cafes.

My favorite quote is Quality over quantity!

Safe transport matters! That’s why Harstra equips packages for machines like the F12 and M45 with Tip’n Tell tilt indicators. this handy tool not only reveals if a package has been tilted but also encourages better handling.

How? Seeing Tip’n Tell reminds transporters that mishandling won’t go unnoticed. This subtle psychological effect, supported by bold warning stickers, leads to greater care and fewer accidents. It’s a small step that makes a big difference in delivering our high-quality machines safely.
