Increased Safety Through Motion Control

AerialCats are recognized as the strongest ladders available and now KME takes smooth operation to a whole new level. Our new IQAN E-ControlTM provides smoother, safer, and easier motion controls than any truck ever built for the fire service.

E-Speed automatically maintains the rotation angular speed, regardless of ladder position or height, to ensure safe low angle operation and precise positioning control.

E-Zone stops rotation or elevation when the operator attempts to position the ladder in a pre-defined zone eliminating the possibility of cab or body damage.

E-Cush provides feathering cushion for the extension/retraction system, elevation system, and outrigger functions.
