rescue and the fire fighting. They possess an automatically driven aerial rescue set. Gimaex manufactures
turntable ladder trucks as well as telescopic rescue
platforms in various heights and equipment for you.
We are willingly open for individual solutions.
The technical challenge at the construction of aerial
rescue trucks is in
· the compact dimensions when operating at
narrowest space
· the lowest total weight
· the fastest set-up times
· the absolute safety for the fire fighters
· the maximum dependability

All of our aerial rescue trucks
correspond to the standards or will
be built acc. to the standards EN
1846-2, prEN 1777 version 1995-03,
DIN 14701 or prEN 14043 and 14044,

Which turntable ladder truck for which operation?
The advantages of the Gimaex turntable
ladder are simply to be
· compact,
· safe,
· fast,
· dependable
Gimaex turret without overhang
· and cheap.
Our motto is to be variable on
narrowest space.
Narrow alleys, closely parked cars - a nightmare
for any operation with heavy equipment.
Therefore we developed special new turntable
ladder systems that need preferably little space
Other turret with overhang
at the operation site. We met that challenge
and developed turntable ladder trucks for the
rescue of persons, technical assistance and fire
fighting in large heights that fulfill those special
requirements.

Turntable ladders
with latest technology
The Gimaex turntable ladder trucks are very
agile and convinces by fast set-up times. The
specially developed, patented level adjustment
is realised in the ladder set and not in the turret
as at other manufacturers. The turret‘s overlap
(negative overhang) does practically not exist.
The Variable-Support-Safety System (VAS)
advances the compactness and the availability
The ladder set of all DLK and DL can be turned vertically as well
as horizontally.
on smallest space once more. Depending on
the space situation, the truck can be stabilised
between 2,3 m (min. stabilisation width) and 4,5
m (max. stabilisation width). The Gimaex TTL
23/12 for example need only 8,4 m width for
reaching the full rescue height of 32 m (erecting
angle 75°) at a truck arrangement of 90°.
New vehicle design
Rescue height up to 32 m at an erecting
angle of 75°
Latest cage- and ladder technology for maximum safety.
Safety by latest technologies
Depending on the stabilisation widths, the
maximum overhangs will automatically be
calculated by the computerized control.
The ground pressure monitoring system
provides the necessary standing safety.
The standing design of the cage results in a
safe rescue operation. Through this, a wide,
straight and direct passing from cage to
ladder and vice versa will be the result.
Solely high-quality steel profiles that will be
welded together buckling-resistant keep the
standing cage grounded.

Stabilisation system
We reach an ideal stability due to a novel
connecting system of the main frame with the
chassis frame.
All outriggers are provided with
swivelling, self-adjusting base plates
and can be extracted individually or
simultaneously. Computers monitor
the ground pressure and ascertain the
respective overhangs depending on the
stabilisation widths.
Platform
The main arm can be turned for 360° without
stop by use above floor level. The structure is
made of a special aluminium construction with
the possibility to adapt it to other chassises. The
coverings and the separation walls are completely made of GRP or aluminium profiles.
Boom
The boom consists of a telescopic arm (3 parts)
and a two-part telescopic jib (cage arm).
The speciality: Due to the jib that can be
extended to a total length of 8 m and tilted up to
180° you have all-time possibilities. You extend
your working range enormous.
Level adjustment
Due to the automatic level adjustment in the
turntable it is possible to use the truck also at an
inclination of 14° (approx. 25% incline). The truck
can keep ground contact with the tires at an
inclination of 7°.
Computer-controlled, hydraulical stabilisation.
Rescue cage
The rescue cage consists of stainless
steel and is mounted fix and safe at the
telescopic arm. You can turn the cage
horizontally in a range of +/- 45°. The
cage will automatically be adjusted and
has a contact-free proximity switch as
crash safety.
Automatic terrain regulation.
