The carrying capacity of the DEMAG crane is 7 tons, the rear two support rollers, and a further support can be mounted on the side. The cable winch at the front has a maximum pulling force of 5.0t by means of a scissor pin, a cable length of 60 meters and 100 meters on the additional pulley. At the vehicles tail can be pulled max 5.0t, secured by a slip clutch. The emergency power generator delivers 3x 380/220 V 20 kVA. The light mast can be extended to 8.5 m over terrain with three headlights each 1000 W 7220 V fed by the emergency power unit. The fire brigade Bern used such a vehicle.

In road vehicles, the parking brake, also known as a hand brake or emergency brake (e-brake), is a mechanism used to keep the vehicle securely motionless when parked. Historically, it was also used to help perform an emergency stop should the main hydraulic brakes fail. Parking brakes often consist of a cable connected to two wheel brakes, which is then connected to a pulling mechanism. In most vehicles, the parking brake operates only on the rear wheels, which have reduced traction while braking. The mechanism may be a hand-operated lever, a straight pull handle located near the steering column or a foot-operated pedal located with the other pedals.
