BRONTO SKYLIFT F 55 RLX METZ / IVECO DLK 53

Preparation for rescue, i.e. preparing of the “elevator” for operation with 2 men

None 6 min

Rescue of 1 person from 55 m to ground level 4 min 6 min+1,5 min = 7,5 min

Rescue of 2 person from 55 m to ground level 4 min 6 min+3 min = 9 min



Rescue of an unconscious person on a stretcher Possible, time 4 min, room for 3 additional persons provided

Not possible

Permissible angle for using the rescue platform/ elevator

All angles Above 40o from horizontal only

Permissible rescue heigths when using the rescue platform/elevator

From appr. 5 m below ground to 55 m above the ground

Between appr. 12 m above the ground to 53 m above the ground

Rescue from behind/above obstacles (up-and-over capability)
