ManSaver Platform Bar
Fire Research
The Platform Bar is a safety bar that can be mounted across walk-through openings on pumpers or on the turntable of aerial devices to help prevent an accidental fall.
The Platform Bar is spring loaded so that it always returns to a horizontal position. There are no hooks to latch or harnesses to buckle. This clever design helps insure that the turntable will always be protected as firefighters do not have to waste time closing or latching anything behind them. To enter, push the Platform Bar in or up. To exit, simply lift it.
