DIN 14555-22
Vehicles carrying tools and gears - Part 22: GW-L2 for logistic tasks

Title (German)

Rüstwagen und Gerätewagen - Teil 22: Gerätewagen Logistik GW-L2

Overview

In the first place the following fields of application are covered or the following tasks are carried out by GW-L2 for logistic tasks, depending on the load applied: - transport of equipment and other materials for fire fighting operations, - transport and laying of pressure hoses for water supply. According to the definition, GW-L2 is a fire fighting vehicle with fire fighting equipment, an equipment box and a loading area with a hydraulic platform for the transport of large amounts of equipment, extinguishing media and other goods to supply the fire brigade units employed (for various logistic tasks) and for use as a fire hose vehicle, the crew of which consists of a fire fighting squad (1/5). The fire fighting equipment to be transported is usually stored in roll containers or similar small load carriers. The transport tasks of small amounts of hazardous goods equipment and thus the tasks of the former hazardous material vehicle GW-G1 can be taken over by GW-L2 for logistic tasks when using the appliance set for hazardous material in accordance with DIN 14800-19 (standard under preparation). The standard DIN 14555-14:1997-10, "Vehicles carrying tools and gears - Part 14: GW-G1 for hazardous materials", which had been withdrawn in January 2004, has already been replaced by the April 2005 edition DIN 14555-22. DIN 14565:1991-03, "Fire hose vehicle SW 2000-Tr" has already been replaced by the April 2005 edition DIN 14555-22, as GW-L2 for logistic tasks has been designed to take over the transport tasks and laying of pressure hoses for fire fighting purposes and thus the tasks of fire hose vehicle SW 2000-Tr when using the equipment module "Water supply" according to Table 2. In order to adopt GW-L2 for logistic tasks to the current state of the art, the following modifications have been made with respect to DIN 14555-22:2010-06: a) the foreword has been reformulated; b) vehicle mass requirements have been defined more precisely; c) permissible towing capacity, slowed down by a continuous braking system, has been specified to be at least 12 t; d) regarding the loading area, the usable loading area length has been newly defined, the requirements regarding the securing of the load with a locking strip in the form of a lashing rail with mounting options have been added, the stability of the front wall has been defined more precisely, the surface load of the bottom of the loading platform has been increased from 600 kg/m2 minimum to 800 kg 2 minimum and the number of the roll containers or similar small load carriers to be loaded onto the loading surface has been reduced from eight to at least six; e) for box bodies, the requirements for the accessible opening for removal of devices have been specified more precisely; f) for the loading platform the load centre shall be fitted in a clearly visible manner and the anti-roll safety device shall be designed for reel diameters up to 200 mm; g) the standard loading in accordance with Table 1 has been revised; h) the additional load of equipment module "Hazardous products" in Table 2 has been editorially revised; i) additional load of equipment module "Hazardous material" modules in former Table 3 has been removed from the standard and transferred into DIN 14800-19 (standard under preparation); j) additional load modules have been deleted in Table 4, instead reference is made to standard series DIN 14800 for additional load modules for fire fighting equipment; k) the standard content including the bibliography has been editorially revised and added in the normative references DIN 14800-19 (standard under preparation) and DIN EN 12642:2007-01. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 031-04-07 AA "Sonstige Fahrzeuge" ("Other vehicles") at DIN.
