the platform”. With these words, the lift can only reach

upto the platform – which means the lift can be operated

only when the cage if front facing. This totally defeats

the purpose of having lift if it is not operable in all

angles.

Lift forms the very heart of any turntable ladder. The

very purpose of the lift is to bring people from a height

of 55 meter to the ground safely. This is very useful

since at the time of fire or emergency, most of the

casualties are either non-mobile or injured or in a state

of shock that they cannot climb down the ladder safely.

With a lift installed, it will ensure maximum safety of

casualties even when they are injured or non-mobile.

Therefore it is essential that the lift must reach the

ground level so that the casualties can ground level so

that the casualties can dismount safety to the ground.

Please refer to the attached picture.

If the lift is not able to reach the ground, does having a

lift serve any purpose ?

If the lift can reach to the ground, it can be used in all

the directions ( irrespective of any rotation of the

ladder). However, if the lift does not reach the ground, it

can be used only when the cage if facing the front

direction. Therefore by allowing this, the operational

capabilities of the turntable ladder is reduced greatly.

1.1 The chassis shall be either MAN / VOLVO/ MERCEDES BENZ / Equivalent make […..]

“ Equivalent Make” is very uncommon in tenders as compared to a lot of other technical criteria in this tender. It leaves ample for interpretation. We recommend to remove “ Equivalent make”

It is clarified that the chassis of MAN / VOLVO/ MERCEDES BENZ are acceptable and no equivalent make is acceptable.

1.3 […] the turntable Ladders shall have a Computer Controlled oscillation Damping system to ensure stable and smooth operation of the unit at heights..

It is clarified that the condition in the tender document

remains unchanged.

8 Stabilising / jacking System : 8.2 – the Jacks shall be diagonal type configuration, each side shall have two separate stabilizes. This is to ensure that the jacks can be extended even when the vehicles are parked on narrow by lanes close to the unit. This will also ensure that it would be easier for the fire crew to walk over the Jacks even when fully extended.

There is only one EN certified TTL manufacturer for a type jacking system. In india 95% of the Aerial rescue and firefighting equipment are with H type jacking system due to the Indian street conditions. Therefore we request you good offices to accept also manufacturers/ offers for TTL with H type jacking system as it would offer a better operational stability apart from the advantage that tendering process will have sufficient participation.

It is clarified that the H type jacking system is also

acceptable apart from the jacking system already proposed

in the tender document.

Without any operation of the aerial device, the pump shall operate on minimum flow and minimum pressure. When one of the movements is operated the control valve automatically shall increase the pressure to a pre-set constant level and the oil flow to the amount that is needed for the movements activated.
