Ro/Ro-Container HazMat
General
The Ro/Ro-Container HazMat will be used for the
environmental protection and provides equipment
that is necessary for realising immediate measure-
ments at accidents with dangerous substances and
goods like acid or mineral oil accidents.
The sides of the Ro/Ro-Container HazMat 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.
It has sufficient space and weight reserves for
storing the whole wished loading according to
standard and additional loading according to local
requirements.
Ro/Ro-Container HazMat
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 for

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

The lower walls are simultaneously designed as
loading walls which offer the following advantages:
· a notch-free passage between equipment

This arrangement offers the following

Mainly we care for a clear separation of the
equipment so that all devices will be stored together
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.
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 Lateral loading with trolleys
of the cases are offering a safe and cheap storage
system.

· an easy and fast cleaning after the operation is

· the customary cases can cheaply be retrofitted or

The basic equipment which is necessary for almost
any operation and which is simultaneously easy to
transport like shutting-off material, respirators, all
measuring and medical instruments, 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 firefighter
to use his power for rescue tasks and not for
transportation.
Sliding wall
Trolley with generator A smooth-running, vertical sliding wall is provided
for the clear storage of devices like shovels, handles,
suction pipe, drum pump stations etc.. The sliding
wall‘s stainless steel bottom can be removed and is
therefore easy to clean.

Measuring instruments
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
instruments like:

with the allowed bend radii. A lying storage of the
hoses (i. e. 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 (i. e. below chemical protective
suits) is very disadvantageous.

2 removeable filing and working tables will be
stored in the rear for an extra charge. Free arrange-
able tables will knowingly be used as removeable
filing and working surfaces are not always adequate
