KFRS Adds Heavy-Hitting Telehandler to Rescue Fleet

KFRS’ technical rescue unit has just boosted its muscle with a new telehandler capable of lifting a whopping 3,800kg.

Versatile Rescue Ready for Any Challenge

This powerful machine is set to play a key role in a range of emergencies. Whether it’s clearing debris from collapsed or fire-damaged buildings, hoisting heavy machinery, or aiding in high-angle rescues, the telehandler delivers.

Its ability to operate on rough and varied terrains makes it indispensable for tough tasks like large animal rescues, water emergencies, and battling grass fires. The telehandler can carve out fire breaks to block raging flames from spreading.

Technical Rescue Manager Praises New Addition

“We’re really pleased to add the telehandler to our fleet of emergency vehicles,” said Alan Downes, Technical Rescue Manager at KFRS.

“As an organisation, we’re always evolving and adapting to better serve the public. The telehandler’s adaptable features will significantly enhance what we can do at the scene of an incident.”
