Portable Unit Uncovered

This unit provides rescue personnel with maximum flexibility for safe evacuation from structures up to 150' in height, or approximately 15 stories. It's unique construction allows the chute to be positioned and braced from walls or windows, and it can be readied to evacuate victims within minutes. It's portability allows it to be positioned far from flames, from venting smoke and from damaged structural components. A package of five units of various net lengths provides evacuation capability from buildings ranging from 2 to 15 stories, and it is recommended for most municipal fire departments.

Heavy Duty Unit
Heavy Duty Unit This unit is appropriate for all roof structures but especially for evacuations from structures over 150 feet in height. As a permanantly located device, it can be stored on the roof of a building or other tall structure. This versatile model can be moved rapidly to any of several pre-determined rooftop positions, allowing rescuers to choose the most favorable descent route, farthest from the flames or other peril.

Air Lift Variation

Heavy Duty Air Lift Variation The Heavy Duty model was specifically designed with helicopter positioning in mind. By the simple addition of appropriate slings, this self-contained pod can be positioned on a rooftop in a single pass, minimizing pilot/crew exposure to heavy smoke and updrafts that are characteristic of large fires. Thanks to its robust construction and its rapid deployment features, the Air-Lift Variation can eliminate the need for the kinds of dangerous rooftop rescue operations that have become all too familiar on televised news programs recently.

Platform Unit
Platform Unit
This model is designed to be permanently attached to the bucket structures of standard firefighting aerial platforms or tower ladders. Manufacturers' specifications must always be respected, but, within these, it provides a rapid means of egress for firefighters in the event of mechanical or hydraulic failure during rescue operations. It also provides a direct, safe conduit from bucket to ground for victims, and it eliminates the time-consuming maneuvers involved in lowering and raising the platform. The Aeril Paltform Unit is produced in 3 standard lengths: 90, 100 and 110 feet.
