Quality Assurance
|
LUKAS places particularly high demands on its products, which is why LUKAS hydraulic equipment undergoes a number of quality tests. It exceeds internationally recognized standards in terms of quality as well as performance. We can therefore offer our customers safety when deciding for LUKAS qualitytested products. The LUKAS Quality Management System is certified in accordance with ISO 9001, and the LUKAS Environmental Management System in accordance with ISO 14001. Both of these management systems form a comprehensive framework of rules for all procedures in our company. In order to maintain a consistently high level of product quality, all materials and production steps are tested
• when materials and parts are delivered • during production and assembly • during the final inspection of the equipment.
Continuous product innovation is one of the cornerstones of the LUKAS corporate philosophy. A high percentage of today’s turnover is achieved with products that have been developed or considerably improved in the recent past. ”LUKAS Concept Innovation” is geared towards manufacturing equipment which is more than capable of meeting the challenges of today’s fire services, railway companies and modern industry. Therefore, LUKAS tools are lightweight and compact, offering unsurpassed ease of operation while at the same time meeting the highest demands in terms of performance and durability.

Developement
|
Over 50% of the standard equipment currently being produced has either been newly developed or considerably improved within the last 5 years.
Progressive technology and the most modern and durable materials have contributed to the worldwide success of LUKAS products.
The simple and safe handling, the favourable power-to-weight ratio and their proverbial reliability have made the LUKAS tradename synonymous with quality worldwide.

Production
|
LUKAS hydraulic equipment is manufactured using the latest technology at the factory in Erlangen, which we moved into in 1990.
High-performance numerically controlled metal working machines, rotating-shelves for a rationalized small parts inventory and an optimized computer-controlled material flow all combine to create a rational form of production.
The production and assembly workers are experienced and highly motivated.

| Lifting Sets With the LUKAS lifting set H 1 all kind of lifting and stabilization work can be carried out quickly and safely. The cylinders are made of high-strength light metal. Their lifting forces are exceeding DIN requirement by 5 tons |
| Rescue Equipment Tests on modern vehicle construction have shown that the new STREAMLINETechnology cutters are not only capable of cutting the hardest materials found today without any difficulty, they also possess enough power to potentially handle new challenges in the future! The advanced design of these cutters offer impressive operating speeds and large cutter opening’s to provide maximum efficiency on any rescue scene. Through extreme material strength STREAMLINETechnology cutters provide maximum durability and prevention of blades breakings. When uncompromising quality and power are demanded, STREAMLINETechnology cutters are the reliable choice for use in any rescue operation |
| Rescue Ram For pushing operations and removing of obstacles, the new STREAMLINETechnology offers rescue rams in different variations. This includes single-stage standard rams and two and three stage telescoping rams. These rams were designed to offer a maximum of pushing/pulling distance using the lowest feasible size and weight. The patented star grip control allows precise operation of the rescue ram in any position without distortion of the wrist. |
