Heavy Rescue four also has a 9,000 lb winch, which is attachable on all sides. Every side of Heavy Rescue Four also has 9,000 lb anchor points.

Heavy Rescue Four also holds equipment for all major operations, most notably confined space and high angle rescue, structural collapse, and trench rescue. Some of the specialized equipment carried by the Heavy includes the Con Space communication system, concrete chain-saw, Paratech struts, coring drill, Snake-Eye Optical Remote Viewing System, and Paratech air shores.
