Meanwhile, news outlet 11alive.com in Atlanta recently reported on an incident where three firefighters were injured while operating a Sutphen aerial device. This marks the second such event within a few weeks. According to Scott Cagle, a spokesperson for Hall County Fire Services, the three firefighters were in the bucket of a ladder that was extended when a mechanical failure occurred. The ladder dropped approximately 20 feet before jamming, causing injuries due to the sudden stop. Two of the firefighters were transported via helicopter to Grady Memorial Hospital, while the third was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Gainesville, Georgia. All three were reported to be conscious, alert, and in stable condition. The injured individuals have been identified as Will Griffin, T.J. Elliot, and Stephen Jackson. This incident highlights the growing concern around the reliability of five-section aerial ladders, prompting increased scrutiny and calls for improved safety protocols in the fire service industry. The spinning process usually involves the sheet metal being stuck on a spinning machine. The spinning machine tool is similar to an ordinary machine tool. During the processing, the blank is formed against a three-dimensional mold core. The main shaft drives the blank and the mold core to rotate, and then the rotating wheel is used to apply pressure to the rotating blank.Metal Spinning Aluminum Products We have Lampshades, Liners, Lids, Bucket Containers, Aluminum Fittings and so on .If you send drawings we also can help you make it.
