Research & Development

Fire fighting vehicle generation: PRIMUS

• optimised superstructure concept guarantees maximum operating convenience
• arched superstructure reduces aerodynamic drag and optimises the field of view  
• new, enormously robust panels serve as impact protection
• special design significantly reduces soiling, optimises corrosion protection and acts as a visual highlight
• greatly reduced body weight allows increased additional load
• Use of industrial large series components ensures spare parts availability of over 30 years 
• universal beacon adapter for all standard beacon light variants – integrated into the overall concept of the vehicle in an aesthetically pleasing way
• new integrated branch deflector to protect the beacon system
• “all-round LED lighting concept” for optimum illumination with minimum power consumption
• maximum flexibility and very easy operation for pump operating stations: H.I.T. display control, analogue flow chart as per AGBF (Working Group of Managers of German Professional Fire Services)

High-performance extinguishing arm SCORPIO

• full aluminium telescopic extinguishing arm
• 25 m radius
• 360° continuous rotation
• automatic setup/dismantling within 130 seconds
• 4-fold hydraulic support within vehicle contour
• Radio remote control and control station
• Crane function with winch (1,300 kg) and work basket
• self-monitoring safety system for industrial use
• monitoring of support pressure, wind speed, cannon recoil forces, etc.

Force Entry Vehicle

• 15 m hydraulic, telescopic extinguishing arm
• piercing head penetrates wood, bricks and concrete walls
• over 50 nozzles on the head of the extinguishing arm for water or foam dispersion

DOUBLEHEAD tunnel fire truck

• Tunnel fire truck with driver’s cab on either end
• special turning gear
• steering all-wheel drive for tight corner radii and traversing
• self-defence system for both driver’s cabs and body
• Floor protection nozzles
• infrared distance sensors with optical and acoustic indicator
• hydrostatic drive for integrated generator

EMPL Future Truck

• Roof heating for box body
• Pedestrian warning radar front and rear
• Camera system with side cameras to enhance driver’s view
• Tail lift control from the driver's cab

TITAN dump trucks

• robust design, individual structuring of attachments, add-ons and panels
• wider tipping bearings for more stability and optimized dumping width
• modular system for shorter delivery times and better spare parts supply
• Model with weight-optimised floor assembly
• Versions with changeable bodies possible (mechanical or hydraulic)
• Front and rear crane attachments
• Rear walls available in aluminium or steel – with integrated lashing points
• hydraulic side walls with integrated safety system / galvanised aide wall bearings
• optimised tipping through adapted dumping rail
• Stabilising of supports through tailgate guiding / free movement for trailers when using rear crane
• adjustable play on closures / dead centre locking and lubrication for guides
• Optimum positioning of control block with easy-to-maintain connections
• Tank can be mounted behind driver's cab
• optimised tipping platform design / additional hooks set flush into floor of tipping platform
• lockable tool box / front wall system with various raised sections and extending sections
• improved tipping stability through optimised width of front and rear cantilevers
• increased stability and wear resistance through high-strength fine-grained steel

Rescue & recovery vehicles

Operator safety system for rescue & recovery vehicles

• Computer-controlled axle weighing system
• Display: rear axle overload/dangerous load relief on front axle
• increased operating safety

Operating unit on control block (instead of manual control panel)

• Axis load weighing system and knuckle boom incl. overload warning
• Operation (flyer, headlamp, engine start/stop, work speed increase)
• Displays (operating status, hydraulic pressure, fast OFF, etc.)

Heavy rescue & recovery vehicle with crane - EH/W-TC 200 TAURUS

EMPL Hydraulic / Wrecker - Telescopic Crane: All benefits of the EH/W BISON combined with powerful telescopic recovery boom which can be operated independently of the underlift.

Benefits:

• one of the lowest underlift extending arms in the world
• fully hydraulic system
• storage boxes custom-made from steel, stainless steel or aluminium
• telescopic recovery boom and underlift independent

Swivelling lifting frame

• swivelling lifting frame for rescue & recovery vehicles
• especially for off-road use for easier adaptation

Electric lifting roof
