Retrieval without straining<br />
QUIC-LIFT systems are available for ladders on a<br />
horizontal or vertical surface (Model LAS) or on a vertical<br />
surface only (LAS-BHM). A third system is available<br />
for mounting hard sleeves (Model HSS). All three systems<br />
make retrieval a simple operation...easy, without straining.<br />
The QUIC-LIFT system at a glance<br />
1 A close-up view of one high-strength aluminum<br />
casting. Castings come in sets of two. 2 The system in<br />
the storage position. 3 At the flick of a switch, the system<br />
lowers the ladders to a comfortable level for retrieval.<br />

You must provide the<br />
following information<br />
when ordering an<br />
LAS system:<br />
1. Manufacturer of<br />
ladders<br />
2. Model number of<br />
ladders<br />
3. Length of ladders<br />
The switch should be mounted outside the operational<br />
envelope of the system in a location providing the operator<br />
with an uninterrupted view of ladders and personnel during<br />
removal and storage operations.<br />

Systems are easily installed on existing pumpers or<br />
tankers and require 12 VDC controlled by a 30 amp<br />
two-pole, double-throw momentary switch (provided).<br />

Works with aluminum ladders and hard sleeves commonly<br />
carried on fire apparatus. Requires a minimum<br />
compartment shelf of 13” deep.<br />
Keeps ladder and hard sleeves close to the vehicle, when<br />
lowered, for tight apparatus positioning.<br />
Flashing light kit provided to produce a visual signal when<br />
the system is out of the stored position.<br />
Mounting brackets may be attached to castings for storage of<br />
folding ladders and pike poles.<br />
Total height, above the mounting shelf, is 33” for ladders and<br />
30” for hard sleeves. Lowers ladders and hard sleeves 31”<br />
from the stored position.<br />
System mounted over compartments<br />

The basic system is made of high strength light-weight cast<br />
aluminum and has a minimum depth of 6”, less ladders.<br />
Powered by two durable high cycle electric actuators<br />
12V), with a maximum load of ladders, hard sleeves, etc.<br />
of 300 lbs. We recommend the manual or electric locking<br />
systems be used whenever a hard sleeve tray is mounted<br />
over the LAS or HSS systems.<br />
Systems have been tested over more than 5,000 operating<br />
cycles.<br />
