Frequently asked questions

The ladder

Temperature resistance of the conductors:
The aluminium of the extension ladder according to DIN EN 1147 can withstand such use up to 200° without any relevant changes to the material. Nevertheless, after each use, an inspection must be carried out by a competent equipment maintenance person.

The ladder is constantly cooled by the extinguishing hedgehog and, as a rule, temperatures are not so high near the ground.

Der Löschigel vor seinem Aufbau, seine Räder und der Bügel sind erkennbar und steht vor einer Garage.

B-rotary clutch:

The water is supplied via a B-swivel coupling, so the fire extinguisher is always protected against tipping over!

Handle:

The ergonomic handle makes it easier to carry the extinguishing gel and enables the hose to be coupled more easily.

Full jet nozzles impress with their long range!

If necessary, the nozzles can be closed with blind plugs.

This allows the spray pattern and flow rate to be regulated.

Full cone nozzles impress with their very fine and regular atomization.

The atomization is in a range of 300 µm -500 µm.

Flat spray nozzles impress with an intensive, even water jet with a long range and fine atomization.

Hole for larger rollers:

The Löschigel has a modular design.

If required, rolls up to 200m in diameter can be attached.

There are holes for a 105mm * 80mm plate.

The standard castors have a 60cm x 80cm base plate.

Roles:

The fixed castors are mounted on bearings and have a PU tread.

The rollers have a diameter of 100 mm.

The heat resistance is 120°C.

Wing nut screws:

The wing nut screws are easy to operate, even when wearing gloves, and allow the extinguishing hedgehog to be clamped to the ladder rungs.

Protective bracket:

The protective bracket protects the extinguisher from damage and allows it to glide past obstacles.

The Löschigel is an extinguishing device to increase the safety of emergency services.

The patented cylindrical extinguishing fitting with nozzles is simply mounted on a ladder section and can be pushed into a danger zone, e.g. a burning industrial hall or underground garage, thanks to its smooth-running castors.

This means that the danger can be effectively combated from close up, while the emergency services themselves can remain outside in safety.

The safety distance and therefore the safety of the emergency services is significantly increased. The extinguishing igloo is particularly suitable for industrial fires or the suppression of gases and aerosols, such as chlorine gas.

In addition, the water mist generated can be used to effectively cool the building structure in underground garage or tunnel fires. This means that the advancing team is better protected and can concentrate on the rescue and extinguishing measures using a hand-held pipe.
