Rescue Practice in Confined Spaces
During a recent training session, the volunteer fire brigade of Endholz carried out an exercise designed to simulate rescue operations in confined areas – such as narrow barns or pits.
Such situations require speed, precision, and flexibility – and that’s exactly where the mobile aluminium gantry crane from SCHILLING proves its strengths.
Maximum Flexibility in Minimum Space
SCHILLING’s modular aluminium gantry cranes can be assembled and operated even in very limited spaces.
Their lightweight construction makes them easy to transport and quick to set up – without tools. This is a crucial advantage during time-sensitive operations or emergency training scenarios.
Key features:
- Tool-free and rapid assembly
- Lightweight, high-strength aluminium design
- High load capacity with precise control
- Suitable for use in low rooms, barns, or shafts
- Certified for personal rescue and fall protection
Smooth and Controlled Lifting
When using SCHILLING’s gantry cranes, smooth and precise lifting is essential.
The systems allow for gentle and controlled movement, making them ideal for handling sensitive or variable loads during training or rescue tasks.
Christian Gschwandtner from the Endholz Fire Brigade confirms:
“We were looking for a highly flexible tool – and found it. The mobile crane can be used both indoors and outdoors. Especially for lifting work in confined areas such as pits or shafts, the SCHILLING gantry crane is indispensable.”
Reliable Assistance for Every Scenario
With certified approval for personal fall protection, all standard SCHILLING gantry systems are ideally suited for technical assistance and safety operations.
Whether for training exercises or real rescue missions, the mobile aluminium gantry crane provides safe and efficient support wherever conventional equipment reaches its limits.
