is one or more sets of LUKAS hydraulic rescue tools eWXTs. 😉Very good choice HZS Jihočeského kraje and congratulations to our partner Nordstahl Servis!
Vehicle Extrication - The Next Generation was written by Ian Dunbar, but the video team is made uo of the fantastic LUKAS RESCUE TEAM! As you can see, shooting the videos for the textbook was hard work, but very entertaining.
Whilst there is no doubt that passive safety systems have saved many thousands of lives, they remain a major topic of conversation within the rescue community due to the potential risks they pose if undeployed i.e. when they have not activated during the initial impact. This is principally around the issue of airbags. I have witnessed first-hand that our misunderstanding of this risk can compromise patient care; this should not happen. Simple preventative measures (isolation of power and limiting exposure to the risk area) will ensure the safety of emergency responders and allow us to proceed. For many years I have worked closely with passive safety engineers from major motor manufacturers and they have confirmed my suspicion that the long standing ‘safe working distances’ around airbags, the so called ‘5-10-15-20-inch rule’ is outdated and impractical. Vehicle Extrication - The NEXT GENERATION looks at these systems and contextualizes the perceived risks. These systems have impeded our ability to extricate patients, but is it time to rethink the risk?
Die Termine für die INTERSCHUTZ wurden erneut geändert. Die Veranstaltung findet nun vom 20. bis 25. Juni 2022 statt. Die Entscheidung, die Weltleitmesse für Feuerwehr, Rettungswesen, Katastrophenschutz und Sicherheit zu verschieben, traf die Deutsche Messe Hannover nach gründlicher Beratung und intensiver Diskussion mit den wichtigsten Marktteilnehmern. Auch zahlreiche andere Messen und Veranstaltungen wurden in diesem Kontext neu geplant, beeinflusst wurde dieser Schritt durch die jüngsten Entwicklungen hinsichtlich der globalen Pandemie durch COVID 19.
OPEN VEHICLE DOOR (ON SIDE)
Opening the upper doors on a vehicle on its side is difficult as the full weight of the doors has to be lifted. For this reason, it may be necessary to use a ladder to lift the doors from above, but this can only be done once the vehicle is fully stabilised. Alternatively, once a team member has gained access, they can push the door from below.

2007// Blitzschneller Gerätewechsel bei laufendem Aggregat. Das innovative LUKAS Monokupplung-System hat eine extrem robuste, bedienerfreundliche Mechanik und macht die manuelle Druckentlastung überflüssig. Rettungskräfte profitieren von dieser Innovation durch mehr Flexibilität im Einsatz.
