Discover the aerial work access platform for fire-fighting BEA42M

As known, KLUBB Group acquired the intangible assets of the fire-fighting aerial platform manufacturer COMILEV in 2018.

Due to that we want you to discover the BEA42M which was used against the fire at a KFC Restaurant. It’s a good example of the capabilities of the machines that can provide EGI-Klubb Group as we took the best of each product to design our new range.

The occurence took place in Pontault-Combault on the 9^th of December 2012. At approximately 2:30, the two employees who remained on site to close the facility recognized a burning smell. Soon, the whole building caught fire.

When the fire-fighters finally arrived at the disaster, rushed from the alert, they faced 300m² already destroyed by the flames.

To stop the fire, the brigade used four pipes, one situated on the aerial platform fire truck BEA42M at first. Altogether, vehicles from eleven rescue centers including one from the Paris fire-brigade were present.

COMILEV’s aerial platform fire truck BEA42M shows several advantages, besides the great working height of 40,50m and the outreach of 14,50m.

Firstly, the maximal flow of 4000l/min provided by the aerial fire-fighting platform, helps the fire-fighters to nip the flames in the bud!

Secondly, the main hydraulic telescopic arm is made of four sections and this is why the fire-fighting platform can be controlled with flexibility to get into every position as fast as possible. Because every second counts while fighting the flames!

 

Also the four outriggers support the machine, even in difficult ground, to fullfill the work as fast and as easy as possible. The movement of the outriggers can be controlled both on the right side on the back of the vehicle and on the left side. All in all, nine different positions of stabilization are possible and the outriggers can be used separately. Due to that advantage, the vehicle can operate in different circumstances!

Moreover, it was a cloudy and windy day, as visible on the weather forecast. Hence the possibility that the basket can accommodate four people even with a wind force of 50km/h is an outstanding advantage. Because, what is the use of a platform, when it can’t withstand the weather? Especially, as fire-fighters mostly work under hard conditions?

 

 

Finally, the fire-fighters were able to stop the fire to prevent it spreading to  nearby situated restaurant. Happily, no injuries were occured! Thanks to the excellent work of the fire-brigade!

COMILEV always supported  with technology, while fire-fighters brought their knowledge. EGI-KLUBB Group will continue with this guiding idea. The company already provides best of breed aerial work platforms for fire-fighting !
