Maneuverable Platform

KME’s spacious 18 cubic foot platform has a continuous handrail and three access gates for safe and easy access. The mitered corners offer improved driver visibility and turning radius. This unique corner system also increases safe positioning of the platform at roofs and windows for singificantly closer and safer rescues.

 

 
 

Increased Safety Through Motion Control

AerialCats are recognized as the strongest ladders available and now KME takes smooth operation to a whole new level. Our new IQAN E-ControlTM provides smoother, safer, and easier motion controls than any truck ever built for the fire service.

E-Speed automatically maintains the rotation angular speed, regardless of ladder position or height, to ensure safe low angle operation and precise positioning control.

E-Zone stops rotation or elevation when the operator attempts to position the ladder in a pre-defined zone eliminating the possibility of cab or body damage.

E-Cush provides feathering cushion for the extension/retraction system, elevation system, and outrigger functions.
