Fire Appliances UK 05 : Public Fire and Rescue Services: (3) Hydraulic Platform: An aerial appliance of the Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service. A Hydraulic Platform (HP) is a large appliance used for effecting rescue from high-rise structures. It is essentially a large crane fitted with a caged platform which can be hoisted to heights well over 30m in some cases. The platform may be raised to windows or balconies to rescue stranded persons. The appliance is also capable of pumping water and as such occasionally these units are also used to direct hose reel water jets into a fire from an elevated position
