Ro/Ro-Container HazMat acc.

to DIN 14505

General The Ro/Ro-Container HazMat acts for the environmental protection and provides equipment that is necessary for realising immediate measurements at accidents with dangerous substances and goods like e.g. acid- or mineral oil accidents. The Ro/Ro-Container HazMat parcelled is built acc. to DIN 14 505. The sides are closed by 1 upper- and lower wall, each in the rear area. The lower walls are simultaneously designed as loading platform. Both front equipment compartments are closed by 1 shutter, each. The Ro/Ro-Container will be delivered with rear cell. The standard loading of the Ro/Ro-Container HazMat contains the loading acc. to DIN 14555-12, possibly supplemented by the loading acc. to state provisions. It has sufficient space- and weight reserves for taking up the whole wished loading acc. to DIN standard and additional loading acc. to local

Parcelled loading We developed a completely new parcelled construction concept for this Ro/Ro-Container. The Ro/Ro-Container can be equipped for the different tasks by few movements only. The basic equipment which will be needed at nearly

every operation and which is simultaneously easy to transport (e.g. shutting-off material, respirators, all measuring- and medical devices, light tools, extinguishers, portable searchlights) and the equipment which cannot be stored on trolleys due to their dimensions will be stored in durable storages.

Body The Ro/Ro-Containers body consists of torsion-free steel square pipes. The alu coating of the body frame guarantees corrosion-resistance. Separation of the technical equipment The technical equipment like e.g. pumps, hoses, shutting-off material etc. is stored in the equipment compartments. This can be accessed from the side.

Equipment compartment closures Both front equipment compartments of the Ro/RoContainer HazMat are closed by 1 shutter, each on the right and on the left hand side. The sides in the rear area, left and right, are closed by 1 upper- and lower wall, each. Gas springs facilitate the opening of the flaps and they also avoid an accidentially closing when the flaps are open.

Rear The personal equipment as well as the breathing protection-, the measuring equipment and the walkie talkies as well as the gastight suits will be

stored in a rear cell that is accessible by a rear flap.

The lower walls are simultaneously designed as loading walls which offer the following advantages: a notch-free passage between equipment compartment floor and loading wall is possible when lower walls are folded down
Rear view

an edgeless passage between ground and loading wall is guaranteed easy loading and unloading of the trolleys the coating of the loading wall will be protected by a stainless steel profile against damages. the loading walls will be pneumatically damped by gas springs when opening and closing. the upper walls are also acting as weather protection when they are in opened position

This arrangement offers the following advantages: the crew can change clothes in the rear area. weather protection by rear flap with the possibility to hook in a rear tent as additional weather- and sight protection. the personal equipment will widely by protected against aggressive gases and steams. 2 phosphor lights are situated at the lower part of the flap for the good lighting of the vehicles rear

Technical design of the interior The interior fittings of the Ro/Ro-Container will be manufactured of the anodized Gimaex alu profiles which enable changes if necessary and mainly they save weight as a flexible modular system. The equipment is distributed so that the heavy equipment is stored on the equipment compartment floor and the light equipment is stored under the vehicle roof. This way of weight distribution advantages the position of centre of gravity and facilitates the removal of equipment. Mainly we care for a clear separation of the equipment so that all parts will be stored depending on their usage and that they can be used without delays. Even if various groups are working together, there will be no opposite obstructions. Loading lists, compartments, plastic cases and drawers are sufficiently labelled.

Loading with trolleys in the lateral equipment compartments It is possible to store up to 6 mobile trolleys inside the lateral equipment compartments of the Ro/RoContainer. They are acting as mobile storages. The trolleys are equipped with 2 guide- and fixed rolls (solide rubber tires, 200 mm), each which allow a moving also on rough ground. If this should be impossible due to a bad road condition, the equipment can also be removed and carried to the operation site as usual.

Storage in plastic cases We use transport- and stacking cases made of high quallity low pressure-polyethylene for storing the equipment. The high stability and the ideal handling of the cases are offering a safe and cheap storage system.

The following trolleys will be equipped with devices: Advantages plastic cases cannot be damaged by remaining quantities of aggressive substances like ALUfloors similar devices (e.g. shutting-off devices) can be easily and completely transported to the operation site on the operation site the content is protected against contaminations easy and fast cleaning after the operation is possible the customary cases can cheaply be retrofitted or renewed. generator, cable drums and lighting devices HazMat-transfer pump and fittings peristaltic pump with accessories set of leak-sealing cushions.

The basic equipment which will be necessary at almost any operation and which is simultaneously easy to transport like e.g. shutting-off material, respirators, all measuring- and medical devices, light tools, extinguishers and portable searchlights and the equipment which cannot be stored on mobile trolleys due to their dimensions will be stored in durable storages. This concept allows the fire fighter to use his power for rescue tasks and not for transportation. Sliding wall A smooth-running, vertical sliding wall is provided for the clear storage of devices like e.g.: shovels, handles, suction pipe, drum pump stations etc.. The sliding walls stainless steel bottom can be removed and is therefore easy to clean.

Breathing apparatus 4 BAs and 4 spare bottles as well as the bottle for the leak-sealing cushions will be stored on a rear-sided, extractable BA-slide. As the bottles and not the carrying plates will be stored, all makes of singlebottle devices are fitting (if wished also two-bottle devices).

Stainless steel container The set of the round stainless steel containers that can be stacked into each other and the strainers will be stored in a lying position. Each container can be unloaded individually. A cap will be stored in front of the containers as closure. The remaining caps are stored besides the containers. Due to the round form it is possible to roll them to the operation site instead of carrying them.

Absorbent 6 barrels for storing the absorbent are included in the delivery. Therefore a contamination of the interior by damaged bags is impossible. Furthermore, used absorbent can be removed in the empty barrels.

Measuring devices It is possible to store 5 plastic-coated steel cases that are secured against accidential opening in 2 lockable steel cabinet housings with interlock in extractable, ball-beared drawer frames. In those cases it is possible to store all measuring devices like e.g.:

explosimeter and gas detector with accessories, test tubes and sampling kits and the walkie talkies.

Large plastic container In the 220 l-plastic containers, the hoses will be stored clean and good transportable in compliance with the allowed bend radii. A lying storage of the hoses (e.g. in pipes) is disadvantageous as possible dropping residual media may contaminate and damage the vehicle and as a transport of such hoses to the operation site (e.g. below chemical protective suits) is very disadvantageous.

Measuring devices and working tables

Working tables 2 removeable filing- and working tables will be stored in the rear for an extra charge. Free arrangeable tables will knowingly be used as removeable filing- and working surfaces are not always adequate depending on the terrain.
