Emergency vehicles

The ELW is used by fire department command to lead and coordinate tactical units at the scene of an incident. In addition to firefighting equipment, which includes measuring technology, the vehicle is equipped with the necessary radio equipment (analog and digital radio) and a computer-aided communication and incident management system (KEMS).

The ELW 2 is used for command and control at the scene of major incidents. The vehicle consists of two separate working areas: the radio control room and the meeting room. In addition, the equipment carried on board can be used to set up a technical command center (TEL) in a separate room.

The HLF 20 is used for firefighting and technical rescue. The crew compartment houses 5 breathing apparatuses. Equipment for rapid water delivery via 2x pressure hose C with hollow jet pipe instead of rapid intervention reel.

The LF 20 KatS is primarily used for firefighting and disaster control. Its load makes it particularly suitable for transporting water over long distances and for fighting forest fires.

The Drehleiten has an articulated arm and rear-axle auxiliary steering. The maximum load capacity is 5 people or 500 kg. A camera system in the basket, at the top of the ladder, and on the gun carriage provides additional safety during operation. The stretcher mount is approved for the stretchers available in the city of Mainz, as well as the Ferno and Rescue Carrier basket stretchers. One heavy-duty stretcher is loaded in each case.

The TLF 4,000 is used to provide support during major fires. In particular, the amount of foam concentrate carried on board can easily cover the time until foam concentrate is replenished.

A water rescue equipment trolley is equipped for rescue and assistance operations in, on, and around bodies of water. It is used for operations on rivers, lakes, canals, during floods, or in the event of accidents on ice.

The measurement technology equipment vehicle (GW-Mess) is used to transport personnel and equipment, as well as to document measurement results at CBRN hazard sites. In addition, the GW-Mess has additional technical equipment for initial hazard control measures up to level II in accordance with the Mainz Fire Department's hazardous materials concept, as well as DEKON equipment up to DEKON level II. With the help of the measurement technology carried on board and the built-in IT equipment, measurement results can be evaluated and documented.

A respiratory protection equipment trolley is specially designed for use with respiratory protection equipment. Its main task is to provide, logistically support, and maintain respiratory protection equipment at the scene of an incident—especially during long or personnel-intensive firefighting operations.

The GW-A ensures that:

• respiratory protection equipment is available and ready for use at all times
• empty cylinders are quickly replaced or refilled
• respiratory protection monitoring is carried out in a structured manner
• hygiene and safety standards are maintained

A swap body vehicle (WLF) is a highly flexible logistics and emergency vehicle. Its special feature is that it can pick up, transport, and independently load or unload different roll-off containers (AB). This means that a single vehicle can replace several special-purpose vehicles. The WLF 1 is equipped with a Meiller skip loader device. It also has a built-in winch with a maximum pulling force of 50 kN.

A swap body vehicle with crane (WLF crane) is the most powerful variant of the fire department's swap body system. It combines hook lift technology for transporting roll-off containers with a hydraulic loading crane for lifting, loading, and rescue work. This makes it both a logistics and a work vehicle.
