Basic description

High-quality aluminium ladder suitable as part of firefighting equipment, directly 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 foldable multifunctional and extendable ladder with a lightweight construction. It will not get lost in the work of professionals. The sturdy construction, excellent stability and versatile use ensure comfortable and safe access to elevated areas. It is the perfect companion for rescue or firefighting work. A maximum safe load, to comply with standards, of up to 2 persons is possible.

Certification

The ladder is manufactured and certified to meet the German DIN 1 standard and the European standard EN 1147.

DIN is a protected designation of German national technical standards. In the case of DIN 1, this refers to the requirements for tapered pins - unforged.

European Standard EN 1147 specifies requirements, test methods and design criteria for portable ladders for use by fire and rescue services and similar purposes. The tests specified 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.

Advantages of the multifunctional ladder

The multifunctional/combinable ladder is typical of its unique design for a variety of uses. It combines both a support ladder and a freestanding ladder. But it can also be used thanks to its ability to be extended. It can act as a roof ladder, a temporary light pillar, an emergency bridge or a hose line. It is ideal for rescue vehicles with limited space capacity. It has the exceptional ability to almost double its height when extended/used as a support ladder. Manually lockable steel safety joints/anchors are used to secure the position when deployed/moving at the joints. They ensure that the individual parts remain connected during use. They are manufactured in an extremely strong design. This ensures comfortable folding of the ladder and firm anchoring of the individual parts.

The biggest advantage is, of course, the ability to extend the ladder, i.e. to extend the ladder when used as a freestanding ladder - a step ladder or a support/inclined ladder. Thanks to the articulated bending solution, it folds very well into a very compact position, making it easy to move around the workplace, to transport by car and to store.

The individual parts

In this case, it is a separate connection part - the stabiliser bar, which can be quickly and easily attached to the FE-501 multifunction ladder.

To create a complete FE-501 model, you will need to purchase the ladder itself:

• Multifunctional fire ladder JUST Type FE-501 - aluminium - rescue 3-part aluminium ladder; manufactured and tested according to the standard and safety standard ČSN EN 1147 and DIN 1 supplement

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 alloyed 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 28 mm thick, have replaceable insulating plastic covers on them with an embossed surface design with anti-slip properties for even greater safety, stability and comfortable climbing, or to facilitate any standing 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.

Connecting 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.

Weathering

By using high quality alloy aluminium material and careful processing/welding of the complete ladder structure, considerable resistance to weather conditions has been achieved. Due to the material properties, the ladder cannot rust even if it is left 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.
