Ladder fire trucks are fire vehicles that enable firefighting, rescue, and rapid evacuation at high points during fires.
Ladder fire trucks are fire vehicles that enable firefighting, rescue, and rapid evacuation at high points during fires.
These vehicles can be used for various rescue operations, such as an alternative descent ladder from a high location or a passage bridge over inaccessible areas. The ladders are manufactured using high-strength alloy steel profile material.
They are produced with standard rescue heights of 12, 18, 20, 24, 28, and 32 meters. Depending on the intended use, the vehicle can be equipped with electrical systems reaching the generator and rescue basket. Additionally, hydraulic ladder tankers equipped with fire pumps, water, and foam tanks are also manufactured, provided they remain within the vehicle's load capacity and are suitable for the intended purpose.
Another key purpose of these vehicles is to facilitate interventions by personnel in elevated incidents, such as roof fires or fires occurring on upper floors. This operation can be performed either as a rescue or a firefighting intervention, or both simultaneously.
These specifications may vary depending on different manufacturers and models.
