ABSTRACT:
Reed's High-Rise Emergency Rescue Egress System, a conventional truck chassis fitted with a hydraulic lift system for access into and the evacuation of individuals from high-rise buildings. The technology is comprised of the following components: A control room located behind the cab of the truck, which is used to operate the lift system, monitor system operations, detect chemical, radiological, biological or other hazardous agents, and provides communication support; an gondola cabins which provides protection while transporting personnel and equipment up and down. The gondola has the ability to be connected to a building's internal/external water stand-pipe system to allow hoses to be used directly from the cabin and an audio/video monitoring system that transmits information to the control room; a mechanical lift system, which utilizes hydraulic and electrical lifts. The lift system is powered by the vehicle's motor. The lift system is augmented by an electrical/hydraulic turntable frame that maneuvers a platform containing the gondola cabin and allows for the gondola cabin to be extended and retracted, raised and lowered. Additionally, buildings can have an optional fixed or portable cantilever system that also aids in the movement of the cabin. The ground rescue vehicle and the roof cantilever system may move vertically simultaneously.
