The QUIC-LIFT system at a glance: Base castings come in sets of two. At the flick of a switch, the system lowers the ladders to a comfortable level for retrieval. The switch should be mounted outside the operational envelope of the system in a location providing the operator with an uniterrupted view of ladders and personnel during removal and storage operations.

Systems are easily installed on existing pumpers or tankers and require 12 VDC controlled by 30 amp two-pole, double-throw momentary switch (provided.) Works with aluminum ladders and hard sleeves commonly carried of fire apparatus. Keeps ladders and hard sleeves close to the vehicle, when lowered, for tight apparatus positioning.

Flashing light kit provided to produce a visual signal when the system is out of the stored position. Mounting brackets may be attached to castings for storage of folding ladders and pike poles. Lowers ladders and hard sleeves 31" from the stored position. The basic system is made of high strength light-weight cast aluminum and has a depth of 6", less ladders. Powered by two durable high cycle electric actuators (12 V), with a maximum load of ladders, hard sleeves, etc. of 300 lbs.

We recommend the manual or electric locking systems be used whenever a hard sleeve tray is mounted over the LAS or HSS systems. Systems have been tested over more than 5,000 operating cycles. QUIC-LIFT Ladder Access System (LAS) mounts on horizontal and/or vertical surface. Ladders remain close to the apparatus when lowered. At the flick of the control switch, the QUIC-LIFT system automatically lowers any standard aluminum ladder to a covenient height for safe and easy removal. In some cases, part number 3097-250-000 spacer set will be required. In these instances the overall mounting height will be 34-1/2". Ladder not included.
