HANDRAILS <br />Handrails will not be required on the beavertail. <br />EXTENSION LADDER <br />There will be a 24' two -section aluminum Duo -Safety Series 900-A extension ladder provided. <br />ROOF LADDER <br />There will be a 14' aluminum Duo -Safety Series 775-A roof ladder provided. <br />HYDRAULIC LADDER RACK <br />Ground ladders will be mounted above the right side of the hose body in a specially designed swing - <br />down cradle. This cradle will be electric/hydraulic operated. The system design will have been life cycle <br />tested for at least 14 years of dependable service. <br />An independent hydraulic pump powered by a 12-volt electric motor will operate the hydraulics. The <br />hydraulic pump and reservoir will be accessible from the ground through a stainless steel inspection <br />door. <br />The ladder rack will incorporate two hydraulic rotary actuators, one each located inside the front <br />compartment and the rear compartment. The actuators will be completely enclosed within each <br />compartment to eliminate any pinch points while operating the ladder rack. Lifting arms will be attached <br />outside the compartment body to the front and rear actuator. <br />The rack can be designed in certain situations to provide lifting capabilities up to 500 lb. <br />The maximum height of the rack from the ground in the lowered position will be no more than 47.00". <br />The electric control panel will have a master switch on/off switch, an actuation switch, an operation <br />indicator light and operation instructions. The electric controls will be located in such a manner to allow <br />the operator full view of the area into which the ladders will be lowered. <br />Two (2) safety locks will be furnished to securely maintain the ladder rack assembly in the travel <br />position. For ease of use, the safety locks will be located above the front and rear bulkheads and be <br />operational while standing on the ground. <br />Ladders will be secured to the brackets with two (2) locks retaining the roof ladder and the extension <br />ladder. The locks will be such that when the roof ladder is removed, the clamps can be moved a half <br />turn to hold the extension ladder in place. <br />LADDER RACK INTERLOCK AND NOT STOWED INDICATOR LIGHT <br />An interlock will be provided to prevent operation of the ladder rack unless the apparatus parking brake <br />has been activated. <br />A steady red indicator light will be located on the cab instrument panel and illuminated when the <br />hydraulic ladder rack is not in the stowed position. The light will be labeled "Ladder Rack". In addition, <br />the "Do Not Move Apparatus" light located in the cab will be activated when the hydraulic ladder rack is <br />not in the stowed position. <br />63 of 89 <br />
