Rescue Trailer is a Czech product - a trailer for rescue forces and the army, which fundamentally changes the logistics of transported people and material, but also the trailer itself. Thanks to its unique folding concept, it saves space and costs required for its transport and storage. We offer our clients modification of the trailer body and equipment for use in specific conditions. With its independent wheel suspension and high ground clearance, it has unrivalled driving characteristics. When folded, it fits the NATO pallet size type 463L. Thanks to the adjustable drawbar, it can be towed behind cars and trucks. The trailer is equipped with its own power source (battery + generator) so it is independent of the mains connection, which it also supports for the possibility of recharging and long-term operation. The Rescue trailer can also serve as a mobile base, providing its crew with facilities, power, water and equipment. By working with Knott, with whom we are collaborating on the production of the Rescue Trailer, we are able to offer the background of a global partner with many years of experience in the production of trailer components.
