FREESTANDING EXTENDABLE 3-PIECE FIRE LADDER JUST TYPE FD-717 WITH ROPE CONTROL - ALUMINIUM
BASIC DESCRIPTION
A quality ladder suitable as part of firefighting equipment, direct from the manufacturer and leader in firefighting ladders - JUST Leitern AG. For more than 130 years they have been manufacturing these special ladders in accordance with the European standard, but also meeting other national (German or British) standards. A manufacturer and supplier that continuously promotes new product developments in order to optimize them for all kinds of rescue operations.
All this is personified by this self-standing extension ladder with a lightweight design. It will not get lost in the work of professionals. The sturdy construction and excellent stability ensure comfortable and safe access to elevated areas. It is the perfect companion for rescue or firefighting work. Maximum safe load, to comply with standards, is possible with up to 3 persons.
CERTIFICATION
The ladder is manufactured and certified to comply with the European standard and the CSN EN 1147 standard with German DIN 1 supplement.
European Standard EN 1147 specifies the requirements, test methods and design criteria for portable ladders for use by fire and rescue services and for similar purposes. The tests referred to in this European Standard are type tests, not periodic tests. Non-portable ladders for use by fire and rescue services are not covered by this standard.
DIN is a protected designation of German national technical standards. In the case of DIN 1, these are requirements for tapered pins - unforged.
ADVANTAGES OF THE EXTENSION LADDER
The extension ladder is unique in its extension design with its exceptional ability to more than double its height. You can adjust this particular model thanks to the rope control. This makes height adjustment automated and very simple. It features a parallel rope device used for the extension system. For locking the position when extending the individual parts, an aluminium safety anchor is used. on the crossbars to ensure that the individual parts remain connected during use. The rigid hollow guide brackets on the upper and lower sections are made in an extremely strong design. This ensures comfortable lowering of the ladder and stronger anchoring of the individual parts. It can be easily folded, which makes it easier to carry, transport and store.
One of the most interesting advantages is the practical spikes welded to the foot of the auxiliary support legs and side beams. They allow a firm grip even on soft ground, ensuring even better stability and safer use.
Probably the biggest advantage is definitely the movable castors, which are installed as part of the ladder construction. They are used for easy and comfortable movement of the upper part of the ladder along the wall when extending and extending the ladder.
BASIC CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL AND ITS QUALITY
The quality of the material and workmanship of the ladder will exceed your expectations. The entire ladder is made of high quality alloy aluminium (aluminium with various admixtures to achieve the required mechanical properties) from a specially designed double-sided welded design. The reinforced square rungs, up to 34 mm thick, have replaceable insulating plastic covers on them with an embossed surface design with anti-slipproperties for even greater safety, stability and comfort when climbing or making it easier to stand on the ladder when working at any height. The rungs are welded into the milled beams to ensure a secure hold. Not a single detail or defect must be overlooked in the manufacture of the ladder.
CONNECTION TECHNOLOGY
The rungs are welded to the beams using the CMT technique - a cold welding process to achieve the highest possible quality. Compared to conventional welding, CMT works with very little heat input and an extremely stable arc.
THE INFLUENCE OF TIME
By using high quality aluminium alloy material and careful processing/weldingwelding of the complete ladder structure, considerable resistance to weather conditions has been achieved. Due to the material properties, the ladder cannot rust even when standing in direct rain or exposed to other water elements for long periods of time. There is thus no risk of damage or wear and tear.
