Cage Explanation: Another suggestion would be 'cage', i.e. "The Truck Company - "Truck" is about the only description that fits those long engines that can extend a ladder or cage up to around the 10th storey of a high-rise building. They carry just about any ladder you can think of and are ideally manned by the more experienced fire fighters." ref. http://www.goafrica.co.za/joburg/ems/ems_services1.stm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-07-21 17:12:28 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another reference: \"The Turntable ladder or TL as we refer to it is capable of reaching heights up to 30M, it can be used as a water tower to provide water up to 30M, or for rescue purposes as an external staircase or by lowering a person in a stretcher from the head of the ladder. The appliance also has the capability of fixing a two-person cage to the head of the ladder. The crew cab has two compartments a front and rear section, which can carry a minimum of four. The vehicle is given a stable base in operation by four jacks, which incorporate an axle locking mechanism to take the weight off the rear wheels. The turntable can rotate 360 degrees on an anti-friction bearing. The ladder can operate at an angle of at least 75 degrees above horizontal and 5 degrees below the horizontal. The Engine for the Turntable ladder is a Cummins 4.8 LITRE Diesel engine capable of delivering 240 B.H.P. @ 2,600 \" ref. http://www.westmidsfire.gov.uk/default.htm |
