Aerial ladder positioning on aerial rescue trucks

Sensor solutions for position recording are used to realize reproducible motion sequences of the aerial ladder. Wire draw encoders from the HighLine product family detect the length of the extended ladder. Thanks to robust mechanics and very precise sensor technology, high repeatability is achieved. The wire draw encoders from the EcoLine product family are perfect for the support positioning thanks to their narrow shape.
