The QUIC-LIFT system at a glance:

The basic system is made of high strength lightweight cast aluminum and has a depth of 6", less ladders. Powered by two durable high cycle 12V electric actuators.The system has a maximum load of ladders, hard sleeves, etc. of 300 lbs. The manual or electric locking systems are recommended whenever a hard sleeve tray is mounted over the LAS or HSS systems. Systems have been tested over more than 5,000 operating cycles.

Base castings come in sets of two. Systems are easily installed on existing pumpers or tankers and require 12 VDC controlled by 30 amp two-pole, double-throw momentary switch (provided.) The switch should be mounted outside the operational envelope of the system in a location providing the operator with an uninterrupted view of ladders and personnel during removal and storage operations.

Works with aluminum ladders and hard sleeves commonly carried on fire apparatus. Requires a minimum compartment shelf of 13" deep. Keeps ladders an(more...)
