Whether it is used for firefighting or on builder’s yards, this Klaas multifunctional appliance is impressive all round. The ways that the AluFiver can be used are as varied as the cases dealt with every day by the fire brigade and technical support services. It is designed so that firefighters can work quickly and efficiently with the appliance even under extreme conditions. The automatic set-up and dismounting system enables a simple and safe procedure especially in precarious situations. Its compact dimensions make even places that are difficult to reach accessible.

The three-person aluminium basket retains its balance at all times and can be pivoted horizontally in both directions by 25°. Even with a fully loaded basket of 300 kg, the elevating rescue platform reaches a height of 30 m and an 18 m range of action. The automatic set-up and dismounting system enables a simple and safe procedure especially in stressful situations. The basket is equipped with several 24 V LED headlights, meaning that work can be performed safely from the basket even under adverse lighting conditions. Using the dual controls, the platform can be operated both at a distance of up to 100 m and from the platform itself. The possible basket load capacity is permanently queried and shown on the display.
The water supply integrated in the telescopic boom and the ability to control the monitor using the remote control unit make it possible to extinguish fires from great heights. The extinguishing monitor can be precisely operated with the remote control without having to take persons up in the basket. The monitor is also designed for tackling fires with foam, with other connection options provided.
The crane function of the AluFiver is based on the easy operability of a mobile crane and has been specially adapted for firefighting and use in builder’s yards. The high strength, lightweight aluminium mast allows great heights and ranges even with medium-heavy loads. The remote control unit’s display can be used to constantly retrieve all the essential information, such as the load picked up.
Six xenon headlights (230 V) integrated in the work platform, which can be vertically directed using the remote control unit, illuminate the deployment sites perfectly – there is no need to spend time laying cables. Additional 230 V (AC) or 24 V (DC) light sources can be installed if required.
The basket is supplied with power coming from a 230 V generator in the upper structure via the tower. The elevating rescue platform is equipped with two shockproof sockets, meaning that electrical appliances can be connected without any problem. Furthermore, voice communication to the upper structure helps procedures to run smoothly.
