  • Patent number: 9717933
    Abstract: Rescue elevator system, comprising a rescue ladder and an elevator running on rails on a top side of the rescue ladder up to an end position at one end of the rescue ladder, and an elevator drive comprising a rope, a rope winch for pulling the rope and a deflection roller over which the rope is guided from the rope winch to a suspension point at the elevator, wherein the deflection roller is disposed below the rails at or near the one end of the rescue ladder, characterized in that the suspension point is displaced towards a trailing end of the elevator averted from the one end of the rescue ladder such that in the end position of the elevator, the suspension point is located in a distance from the deflection roller in the extension direction of the rails, and the elevator comprises a passage ladder to bridge the distance between the suspension point and the deflection roller in the end position of the elevator, said passage ladder lying on top of the rope and being mounted between the rails at a hinge axis p

  • Patent number: 9428155
    Abstract: A jacking system for a utility vehicle comprises a telescopic beam suspended under the vehicle body which is extractable in a generally horizontal direction and tiltable by a tilting mechanism to lower the extracted outer support end to the ground, said tilting mechanism comprising a pivot support supporting the telescopic beam at the vehicle body pivotable around a horizontal axis and a support drive comprising an telescopic drive element of variable length, with a first end of the drive element being pivotably attached to the vehicle body and its opposite second end being supported at the telescopic beam at a position between the pivot support and the support end of the telescopic beam.

  • Patent number: 9328557
    Abstract: A ladder set for rescue vehicles, including a base mounted on a vehicle, an end part and connecting parts disposed therebetween. A traction device is mounted for an extension cable and a roller arrangement for guiding the cable. Roller pairs are mounted on connecting parts, of which each include a front roller and a rear roller. A deflecting roller is located on the end of base part pointing in the direction of extension, via which extension cable is guided in the direction of the traction device. Extension cable is secured to end part by its end opposite traction device and is guided from fixation point to deflecting roller then via roller pairs of connecting parts in their connecting order, in such a way that extension cable first passes the first and then the rear rollers of a roller pair.
