AERIAL LADDER L32A-XS FLAT

For that moment,
when you need
top performance
from the bottom up.

ALL ROUTES: Designed to enable rapid progress on low-clearance access routes and in constricted emergency sites.

Grounded design.
High value.

The articulated aerial ladder L32A-XS Flat with a working height of 32 m features an impressively low overall height of only 3 m, making it 300 mm shorter than conventional vehicles manufactured according to the EN 14043 standard. This can be crucial because the access routes leading to an emergency site will often take you through underpasses, gateways or thoroughfares with heights below those required by modern building regulations. The pneumatic suspension allows the vehicle to travel below the 3-meter mark if necessary and to drive through even lower passages at walking pace. Aerial ladders constructed for lower clearances are also the perfect solution when standard vehicles cannot be stationed at fire stations for structural reasons.

Keeping a low profile

With a maximum superstructure height of 3 meters, the aerial ladder is perfectly suited for low passages such as historical listed archways.

02 - 06

Perfectly adjusted

The optimized, scaled-down front axle was developed according to OEM requirements. This ensures maximum reliability in the tightest of spaces.

03 - 06

For tight maneuvers

The rear axle auxiliary steering system with full traction tires allows for an even tighter turning radius, resulting in vastly improved maneuverability in historic city centers, for example.

A cab for your crew

The cabin is elevated by 170 mm and has been certified in accordance with ECE29, allowing for a crew of 1+2 or 1+3. Two seats can also be optionally fitted with PA bearings.

A strong base

The aerial ladder is based on a close-to-production Mercedes Benz 1830 LL Econic chassis with 220 KW (299 PS) and a Euro VI engine. This means that the chassis can be serviced by any Mercedes Benz service partner.

Safe ascents with SAFESTEP

SAFESTEP ensures safe access to the platform and the ladder set with a traffic light system on the steps.

As low as possible.

The aerial ladder 23-12 is EN 14043 certified and clearly undercuts this standard with a total height of only 3 m. Combined with the tried and tested XS ladder insert, the compact design features an impressive ultra flat construction with the associated extended range of applications.

As wide as necessary.

In addition to its overall height of only 3 m, the aerial ladder also has a maximum width of only 2.4 m at both the front and rear axle. Getting through tight spaces is no problem at all.

For heavy requirements.

Despite the stable chassis and aluminum body, the vehicle does not exceed the maximum permissible weight of 16 t including load required by the EN standard.
