Increasing Survivability
IMMI® invented RollTek®, the advanced side roll protection system to keep firefighters, soldiers, truckers, and paramedics safer in the worst kind of accident – a rollover. RollTek is custom engineered for each industry and has been extensively crash tested at CAPE®, our state-of-the-art testing facility, to help turn what could be a fatal crash into a walk away event.
RollTek for Heavy Trucks, Military, and Fire Apparatus
A rollover can happen in an instant, that is why RollTek deploys in a quarter of a second.
HOW IT WORKS
- A roll sensor monitors the truck’s position, and when a rollover is detected, up to three RollTek components are deployed per seating position
- Seat pretensioners keep the driver or front seat passenger securely in their seats
- Suspension seats lower to increase survivable space in the cab
- Side airbags deploy to cushion the head and neck
RollTek for Ambulance
RollTek, also available in the ambulance industry, deploys side airbags in a rollover to greatly reduce the potential for death or serious injury to EMS personnel riding in the patient compartment.
HOW IT WORKS
- A roll sensor inside the vehicle continuously monitors ambulance stability
- When a rollover is detected, the system deploys side airbags in all the seating positions where RollTek is utilized
- Heads and necks of EMS personnel riding in the patient compartment are cushioned
- Three-point seat belts, engineered as part of the RollTek system, act as a primary restraining device and position the occupant to impact the airbag in a rollover
Why RollTek?
With RollTek side roll protection, even the most severe crashes can be survivable. RollTek can dramatically reduce the human toll of rollover accidents, as well as make a significant impact on your bottom line.
Without RollTek, here’s what could happen in a rollover in a fire apparatus, commercial truck, or military vehicle:
- Suspension seat rises to the highest position
- Occupant rises out of the seat
- Head strikes interior cab structure
- Violent head and upper torso impact
For paramedics:
- Occupant rises out of the seat
- Head strikes interior patient compartment structures
- Violent head and upper torso impact
