The jacking system: intelligent safety

Thanks to the unique, continuously adjustable horizontal/vertical Metz jacking system and the fact that when turning, all elements are laying within the total width of the podium, the Metz hydraulic platforms are easily positioned even in tight spaces. Rotating by 360° is also possible at any time even with the jacking system within the vehicle contour. Thanks to excellent technical solutions for individual and continuous controlling and monitoring of the individual jacks (type-dependent), every extra millimeter of jacking width results in additional reach.

Unique Metz Aerials ground pressure monitoring always guarantees safe operation in all positions. Additionally, the integrated screens display the current ground pressure. The automatic leveling system is integrated in the jacking control. Depending on the chassis, the jacking system equalizes an inclination of up to 11°.

The armset: sophisticated engineering, proven in operation.

High-quality materials and perfect design. Both of those components make the armset of the Metz hydraulic platform one of their most excellent components. Because what matters is whether a rescue is successful. Thanks to state-of-the-art construction methods, Metz hydraulic platforms are equipped with unique properties that distinguish them and make them successful. Practice-oriented drive and guide elements take the strain off the firefighters workshop thanks to their low-maintenance properties. And reduce the downtime of the equipment.

The Metz rescue cage: Core piece of equipment of the fire department

The rescue cage consists of a sturdy aluminum construction and is manufactured for size- and weight optimized. It offers space for up to six people. Depending on the operation, it also transports rescue and extinguishing equipment. The handrail is folded down and opened on the wide and unique front entrance.

Not matter whether the folding platform is in operation or parked. The cage offers three entry points that can be accessed standing upright. The rear gangway platform facilitates access to the rescue ladder mounted on the side - regardless of the position of the cage.

Installed ultrasound sensors warn the machine operator before an object is touched. The cage can be swiveled by 4° horizontally to the left or right. Regardless of with or without attached rescue ladder. Thus precise and individual positioning in relation to the object is achieved.

The cage operating panel is also clearly structured: Display and control elements are placed at suitable points and are easily visible.
