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 perpendicular to the extension direction of the rails and extending generally towards the one end of the rescue ladder such as to be pivotable between a flat position in which it lies generally parallel to the plane of the rails and an inclined position in which it is inclined downwardly towards the bottom side of the rescue ladder.

Rescue elevator system

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. This jacking system is characterized in that the tilting mechanism further comprises a lever arrangement for load transmission between the support drive and the telescopic beam, said lever arrangement comprising a first lever with a first end pivotably attached to the vehicle body at a first hinge point below the attachment point of the first end of the drive element at the vehicle body, and a second lever with a first end pivotably attached to a second end of the first lever at a second hinge point and a second end pivotably attached to the telescopic beam.

Jacking system for a utility vehicle

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.
