SCANIA RESCUE VEHICLES

Pride, trust and legendary reliability Scania brings more than 90 years of experience to the business of saving lives and property. This dedication has earned us two priceless attributes among rescue specialists around the globe: Their pride and their trust.

We never take this position for granted.

A world of possibilities on a reliable foundation Much has changed since the days of custom-assembled trucks and superstructures. Today’s Scania trucks are produced using dedicated, factory-built modules. Scania modularity is the basis for the extraordinary adaptability of our vehicles because it enables so many combinations with a limited number of basic components. This offers enormous advantages in the creation of your specialised solutions.

In fact, many believe that Scania has the most versatile range of cabs and chassis available. In the long-term, Scania modularity also ensures reliability and maximises uptime, because fewer components means faster repairs and service.

SCANIA RESCUE VEHICLES

Trucks for emergency response Rescue vehicles demand power, speed and durability. But they must also be ergonomically designed, allowing crews to work quickly, effectively and safely.

Safe delivery

Safety in use

When rushing to an emergency, the crew need plenty of space to travel safely with their equipment. Scania cabs comfortably accommodate two to eight crew members. For those applications where only two or three people are needed, a short cab, a day cab or sleeper cab can be specified. For larger crews, Scania provides two crewcabs: a short six-man version and a long eight-man version. The front section of these cabs has room for the driver and the officer in charge, while the rear compartment carries the crew.

Scania cabs meet the safety and performance requirements of European standard EN 1846-2 for firefighting and rescue vehicles. They meet, and in some cases exceed, the BAS standard of the Swedish Rescue Board and they conform to the Swedish Road Administration’s rigorous cab safety standards.

P-series Crewcabs can be mounted with a wide variety of axle distances and configurations, all available direct from the factory production line.

Drawing on our strong and lasting co-operation with bodybuilders worldwide, we are able to deliver the tailor-made solutions you envision.

With one of the few factory-built crewcabs in this range, we facilitate your task by eliminating numerous steps to cut lead times and save you money. Innovations include more adaptable cabs and chassis, standard mounting-hole patterns and preparation for electrical systems. Our crewcabs are delivered with a ‘clean frame’ behind the cab.

Scania CrewCabs provide plenty of interior space for a full range of safety equipment and tools.

The short crewcab has space for up to six, while the long crewcab can hold up to eight crew members. All of our cabs have doors that open a full 90 degrees for easy entry and access. A wraparound windscreen on all of models gives good visibility for the driver and the officer in charge.

Doors open 90 degrees and ergonomic articulating steps that extend and retract automatically are available as an option for greater ease and safety when entering and exiting the crew compartment.

The traditional water / rescue tender is most often used by city and municipal fire brigades. Normally built on a 4 x 2 configuration, these vehicles can also be built on a 4 x 4 for all-terrain capability with the longer crewcab as an option. The water / rescue tender normally has a water tank capacity of 1,000– 4,000 litres. A small quantity of foam mix, up to 1,000 litres, can be carried. The water / rescue tender can be equipped with ladders and rescue equipment, such as cutting tools and mobile power generators.

Water / foam carriers traditionally support the water / rescue tenders or operate in oil, chemical or electrical plants. These vehicles can be equipped with either a short cab, a day cab or the Scania CrewCab, and several chassis configurations are available. Normal capacity is 10,000 litres of water and 1,000 litres of foam. They are usually equipped with large water pumps able to handle up to 6,000 litres / minute.

Scania’s robust chassis gives you enormous torsional stiffness and bending resistance. This combination creates an ideal foundation for the dependable mounting of even the highest turntable ladders and aerial platforms.

C267624_SCAN0012_Rescue.indd 11

The large majority of fire brigades need to supplement their fleet with a turntable ladder or aerial platform. Vehicles equipped with a turntable ladder reach a working height up to 53 metres, while the aerial platforms can reach more than 100 metres. It is possible to specify vehicles with either a short cab, a day cab, a Scania CrewCab or our low-entry cab.

Configurations up to six axles are available. It is also possible to equip these vehicles with a water pump.

A selection of special power take-offs driven from the automatic gearbox are available for these applications.

Rescue vehicles intended for airport use are highly advanced compared to conventional rescue vehicles and must meet a range of requirements, including international and domestic aviation standards. Because the terrain surrounding airports often does not permit the use of conventional rescue vehicles, airport rescue vehicles are built to handle on-road and off-road conditions.

They are often equipped with super-single tyres to provide increased ground clearance and a good ability to climb over obstacles. Always equipped with an automatic gearbox, a 4 x 4 or 6 x 6 chassis configuration is used.

C267624_SCAN0012_Rescue.indd 13

Cab alternatives are either a sleeper cab or the Scania CrewCab. The water / foam tanks normally have a capacity of 4,000 –10,000 litres of water and 400 –1,000 litres of foam.

Rear-steer configurations are available for applications requiring a tighter turning radius.

Imagine a vehicle so flexible that it can leave the scene and return in minutes as a water / foam tanker, or even a fully equipped ambulance. Rescue specialists – from forest fire-fighters to industrial applications – are quickly embracing this innovative hook-lift technology that changes your reaction strategy, how effectively your team can function and even total costs over time. Robust chassis withstand the tough stresses generated when loading and unloading heavy cargoes on uneven terrain.

A three-axle chassis is commonly used with a day or a sleeper cab.

An ergonomic masterpiece Scania rescue vehicles work in harmony with your crew like a willing horse works with its rider. Entering and exiting the cab is facilitated by sturdy, well-placed yellow grabrails and extra-wide doors that swing open a full 90 degrees. Broad steps open automatically to reduce the accumulation of snow and ice. Inside there is generous space and easy-to-find red seatbelts. The ergonomically designed driver’s station is an asset in challenging transit situations and complements the famous driveability of Scania trucks to keep your crew safe and comfortable.
