RollTek provides the most advanced rollover protection system available firefighters today, protecting them in the crucial moments going to and from the scene.
Traffic accidents remain the second leading cause of death for on-duty firefighters, and 60% of truck occupant fatalities involve a rollover. RollTek addresses the problem of rollovers head on, drastically reducing the potential for life-threatening head and neck injury.
The integrated RollTek system combines a sophisticated roll sensor with state-of-the-art primary and supplementary restraints. In the event of a rollover the RollTek System:
Detects a rollover and instantly activates advanced occupant protection features.
- Tightens the seat belt around the occupant to prevent movement and to restrain the occupant securely in the seat.
- Pulls the seat down, positioning the occupant for proper contact with the airbag. The lowered seat also increases overhead survivable space and minimizes head contact with the interior roof.
- Deploys the side airbag(s) to protect the occupant’s head and neck during a roll.
- Notifies first responders that the vehicle is equipped with advanced occupant restraints.
This unparalleled protection occurs in fractions of a second.
RollTek is meeting a critical need for firefighters and is making a dangerous job safer than ever before.
