Fireman's Pole Testing Rig

A little known side-line product of Llwyngwril Space Systems are poles for fire stations. Using their knowledge of high-tech alloys from spaceships, LSS produce some of the best quality vertical fire engine emergency access systems in the world.

 

Prior to installation, each pole is carefully tested by a dedicated team. The testers would get tired walking back up to the top of the pole, especially as a minimum of 10,000 descents are required for each test. A lift (elevator) was considered but proved to be expensive to install and maintain. Llwyngwril Space Systems used their knowledge of hyperspatial mechanics to create this testing rig, with a flat walk from the bottom to the top.
