While the industrial access has been using large truck-mounted aerial platforms for wind turbines and such for a long time, the fire & rescue aerials have been limited to the heights of about 100-135ft. North America fire services commonly use aerial ladders, that tend to have lower heights than the articulated aerial platforms with a solid steel boom as the main structure. Another limiting factor has perhaps been the size of larger, over 200-foot aerials, that can be bulky and difficult to navigate through ordinary city streets.
Breaking the boundaries of reach
The aerial offering is now radically changing, as Bronto Skylift introduces a 230-foot articulated aerial platform, the Bronto F230RPX, commonly known as The Beast. The working height is 230ft, which is equivalent to 20 floors, and the aerial is compactly mounted on a Mack chassis. The previous maximum height of North American aerials, 135ft, corresponds to about 11 floors. In other words, the F230RPX enables nine floors more vertical reach for fire departments all over North America.
尽管运营救援高度有很大的提高，但可以通过许多不同的方式看到覆盖范围。同样，水平覆盖率和所谓的上升和越野也比传统上提供的东西得到了很大改进。最大水平覆盖范围为105英尺，而以前的大多数型号的水平覆盖率小于90英尺。例如，栏杆墙和较低屋顶的能力是34英尺。从河岸和桥梁到达低于级别的桥梁约为20英尺。
The first unit was developed, designed, built and delivered in collaboration with1200 Degrees, an experienced Bronto Skylift partner in Canada. 1200 Degrees will be the local service provider making sure the unit remains safe and ready to serve during the years to come
消防和救援行动的多功能性
The biggest benefit of an articulated aerial platform is the operational versatility. This is partly enabled by the articulation, that offers versatile reach in all directions, but a big part of the versatility is enabled by the spacious rescue platform with 1000lbs safe load. The platform allows access with a wheelchair or a stretcher and still allows space for the operator and a paramedic. The platform can be equipped with breathing air outlets, as well as hydraulic and electric power outlets for different tools needed during an operation.
There is also an Integrated, corrosion resistant telescopic waterway with 1000GPM capacity, which enables efficient fire fighting without compromising the safety of fire crews – even more so as the platform and the water monitor can be fully remote controlled.
This 230ft aerial platform is mounted on a commercial Mack chassis, which makes the configuration compact and easily maneuverable. As every fire department operates in different environment, the F230RPX and it’s equipment can be tailored to customer needs.
