Patent number: 9827953Abstract: A utility vehicle, in particular a firefighting vehicle, comprising an extendable aerial apparatus like a turnable ladder and/or an aerial rescue platform, a jacking system with lateral ground supports for jacking the vehicle body, and a stabilization mechanism for preventing tilting of the vehicle body in its jacked state. The stabilization mechanism includes a hydraulically operable rear axle blocking device for blocking the rear axle suspension of the vehicle. The stabilization mechanism further includes at least one hydraulically lockable shock absorber integrated into the front axle suspension of the vehicle. The rear axle blocking device and the hydraulically lockable shock absorber are controlled by a common hydraulic control to lock the hydraulically lockable shock absorber at the same time or with a delay after activating the rear axle blocking device.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2015Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Iveco Magirus AGInventor: Jens Kraemer

Patent number: 9637045Abstract: An edge profile for bordering the superstructure of a rescue vehicle is contemplated, specifically an edge profile for bordering the upper walking deck of a firefighting vehicle that provide a modular construction system with enhanced security features. The edge profile is an extruded hollow body having a cross section with a front wall portion and an upper and lower groove for simultaneously illuminating the border of the upper walking deck and the environment around the base of the vehicle. The edge profile modularly engages with the vehicle body via cross-sectional horizontal and vertical mounting grooves, which do not require welding. A lower flange portion is further provided to cover upper parts of storage compartments at the sides of the vehicle, especially roller shutters.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2014Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: Iveco Magirus AGInventors: Frank Muhe-Sturm, Jens Kraemer

Patent number: 9580961Abstract: The present invention relates to a utility vehicle, in particular to a firefighting vehicle, including an aerial apparatus (i.e. a turnable ladder and/or an aerial rescue platform) and lateral ground supports movable between retracted positions and extracted operating positions in which the ends of the supports rest on the ground. The vehicle includes a monitoring system for monitoring the position of the vehicle. The system includes surveillance cameras at the sides of the vehicle, each camera being allocated to one support to monitor the ground area on which the end of this support rests in its operating position and to take a real-time image of the respective ground area. The system also includes a visual display presenting the images of all cameras at the same time in different screen areas, superposed by visual markings representing expected operating positions of the supports.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2013Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: IVECO MAGIRUS AGInventor: Jens Kraemer
