Abstract (en)

2. In a turntable assembly (1), particularly a turntable ladder of a fire-fighting vehicle, having a ladder assembly and flexible guide ropes (8, 9) laid to the top of the ladder and which are passed over deflection units (10) attached to the end faces of ladder diagonals (7), at least one deflection unit (10) has a row of rollers (11) disposed substantially in a semicircle, via which a guide rope (8) is guided along the semicircular arc which determines the radius of deflection (R) of the guide rope (8), the rollers (11) having a radius (r) which is very small compared with the radius of deflection (R). By this means a very compact design of deflection unit for a plurality of guide ropes can be achieved, without the guide ropes being subjected to excessive bending. <IMAGE>
