WHICH VEHICLES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED FOR “EMERGENCY” APPLICATIONS?
The watchwords of the emergency services? Speed and safety!
13 minutes 54 seconds! That’s the average time taken by emergency services from the moment you make the call until the emergency vehicles arrive on the scene.
In France, the fire brigade responds to an emergency every 6.5 seconds, or 13,205 incidents a day1. Ambulances provide no fewer than 700,000 services a year2.
When you think of emergency vehicles, the first thing that springs to mind is the fire brigade. In fact, they are relatively numerous (around 15,000 vehicles in France). This is due to the wide variety of types of vehicle, each dedicated to a different task (ladder lorries for working at height, tankers for manoeuvres in the forest, assistance and care for people in certain light vehicles, etc. ….).
As well as fire engines, we mustn’t forget all the other emergency services such as ambulances, which work daily to provide care and require specific, well-equipped vehicles for all their own operations (patient transport, intensive external care, first aid, etc.).
THE NEEDS OF EMERGENCY SERVICES FOR THEIR FLEET OF VEHICLES
In this sector, where time is of the essence and every minute counts, it is vital that all the products and equipment used fully meet the requirements inherent in the day-to-day work of the emergency services, while taking account of the risks involved. The fleet of vehicles must be as well adapted and optimised as possible to ensure an instant start.
Whether assisting people or intervening in a harmful environment, first aiders must first ensure their own safety, with good quality equipment that guarantees the safety of users and equipment.
Intervention must be carried out as quickly and efficiently as possible, particularly where lives are at stake. To avoid any failure, the batteries and all portable electrical equipment on board the vehicle must be constantly charged and the vehicle must have access to a power supply. Equipment fixed to the outside of the bodywork must be able to withstand the elements and the cleaning of the vehicle, and electrical installations must be able to withstand repeated ejections and handling.
WHY CHOOSE MARECHAL® FOR YOUR EMERGENCY APPLICATIONS?
What if charging your fleet became easier?
With almost 70 years’ experience, MARECHAL® is constantly innovating and can offer you solutions tailored to your needs!
Designed to power and recharge all your on-board devices, RETTBOX® S is the benchmark in automatic electromagnetic ejection sockets for light and medium vehicles. The plug automatically ejects from the connector when the vehicle is started, with no risk of it being ripped out. This saves you a considerable amount of time, and means you don’t have to check that all the devices powering the vehicle are properly disconnected at the start of each job. Speed guaranteed!
RETTBOX® S is particularly easy to install. With its compact, space-saving design, it can be installed anywhere on the bodywork. Numerous functions simplify its use and maintenance: one-hand connection, self-ejection, manual ejection, pivoting cover with return mechanism, etc. The connector is fitted with an LED to indicate when power is applied. A second LED can also be ordered as an option to indicate battery charge.
In terms of safety, the user has no access to the active parts. Robust and made from quality materials, it guarantees excellent electrical insulation and resistance to shocks (IK08), UV rays and temperature variations (-40°C/+60°C). Its rounded corners prevent injury during handling.
Its breaking capacity under load is due to a unique MARECHAL® technology of butt contacts, resistant to corrosion, which allows better conductivity and lower power consumption through low temperature rise. Guaranteed safety that really makes everyday life easier for users!
