Ladders

RECOGNITION
Since 1996 a number of important steps have been taken by Fire Services within Australia with regard to their use of Fire Rescue Ladders.

The first was to recognise and make use of the newly emerging European Standard BS-EN1147, Portable Ladders for Fire Service Use.

The second was to start re-equipping their respective fleets with ladders that both complied with a recognisable standard and are fit for specialist use.
Our company has been at the forefront by firstly introducing the BS-EN1147 Standard at the 1996 AFAC Fleet Managers Equipment Forum and then assisting individual Fire Services accomplish their need to re-equip and maintain their new ladders.

INNOVATION
A very important step was also taken by Centurion Fire in 2009 when we recognised the need to manufacture a high quality Australian Made ladder and started to produce the first of our Australian made ARION range of Fire Rescue rated ladders. This has given us the ability to provide a design and engineering service to users of ladders with the flexibility to locally manufacture ladders sized to fit appliance stowage space, meet the ladder extension height requirements of the service whilst working within the parameters of the BS-EN1147 Standard.

As a result our range of ladder models is growing in response and currently includes Double Extension in Rope Pull and Manual, Triple Extension in Rope Pull and Manual as well as specialist Folding Roof Ladders.

Some of our ladder safety features include Auto Arrest Device to lock the ladder sections in place should the hauling rope be inadvertently released, Automatic Pawls on our larger ladders to give maximum foot area within the pawled ladder section, deep rung tread for maximum boot grip, swivel feet where requested, the ability to ‘split’ ladders apart if the situation warrants it and a weight suitable for small crew vehicles.
