Mobile Escape Chute
Product Description
The Portable/Mobile Rescue Chute has become standard rescue equipment for fire aerial ladder trucks used by fire brigades worldwide for high-rise rescue operations. Mounted onto the bucket of the aerial ladder platform, it provides a safe, efficient, and effective escape solution for individuals trapped in tall buildings. It eliminates the time-consuming maneuvers in lowering the aerial platform, increases the evacuation capacity by almost ten times in comparison to using the conventional methods, and without exposing fire rescue personnel to danger from climbing up the aerial ladder.
