Concentrated know-how and top-class innovations: this is what visitors to Retter 2023 can expect at the Munk Austria stand (Stand E10 in Hall 20). Here, Munk Austria will present the solutions of Munk Rettungstechnik, the technology and innovation leader for access equipment and roll container solutions for fire, rescue and disaster relief operations. Also in the luggage of the strong partner for fire brigades and aid organisations: The new mobile safety system SafeCaddy. The innovative system was explicitly designed to optimise preventive and defensive fire protection as well as first aid in buildings and on construction sites or at events. A special highlight: the SafeCaddy combines all the necessary equipment in a single mobile unit. Also on the stand is the extensive product range of multi-functional, plug-in and extension ladders, rescue platforms, toolboxes and roll containers, as well as the complete appliance room equipment
"The professional public of rescuers knows exactly that in an emergency every second can decide between life and death. That is why I am sure that our latest innovation will also meet with great approval among them: With our new SafeCaddy concept, first responders bring their equipment safely, quickly and particularly smoothly directly to the scene of the emergency. This saves them valuable time and they can start fighting fires or taking life-saving emergency measures faster than ever before," says Ferdinand Munk, owner and managing director of the Munk Group, which is represented in Austria by Munk Austria as the local contact.
The SafeCaddy is initially available in the three basic versions "fire protection", "mobile fire alarm system (BMA)" and "first aid". Depending on the purpose, it is equipped with effective aids such as CO2 and powder fire extinguishers, a mobile fire alarm system or a fully automatic defibrillator, among other things.
The three variants are each available pre-configured or unloaded and can also be subsequently expanded and retrofitted with additional accessories such as a tarpaulin with viewing window, an off-road sheet or further brackets to suit the specific user. Visitors to the Rescuers can see what the mobile safety system looks like at the Munk Austria stand.
Photoluminescent lifesavers
Thanks to Munk, rescuers are no longer groping in the dark at night, because from now on there are handle and rung coverings that become charged by UV radiation and make roll containers and ladders visible in the dark. With the Ergo-Glow-Grip, the name says it all, because the luminescent handle bar ensures a comfortable grip and particularly ergonomic working thanks to its oval shape. In future, Munk Rettungstechnik's complete roll container range will be equipped with the Ergo-Glow-Grip as standard ex works.
The glow version of the heat-insulating and non-slip rung covering for fire brigade ladders lets the ladder rungs glow conspicuously and thus increases the work safety of the emergency services even in poor lighting conditions. The Ergo-Glow-Grip and the Glow rung covering are also available as retrofit kits, so that users can subsequently make their existing equipment glow.
Wide range
For the fast and efficient transport of equipment as well as supplies to the place of action, Munk Austria offers a wide range of roll containers with which all purposes and requirements can be covered. No matter whether it is a matter of respiratory protection, hoses, foam agents or even power-lighting equipment. In addition to the wide standard range, there is also a wide range of pre-configured close-to-production solutions. These can, of course, also be tried out directly on site at the exhibition stand.
Munk Austria is also a valuable partner for rescue forces and aid organisations before and after deployment - especially with the right equipment for the modern equipment of appliance rooms, such as ladder test stands for the regular load tests. And if a visual inspection of the ladder after use reveals a defect, such as a damaged rung protector or a frayed rope, the emergency services are quickly helped here too: A product-specific QR code on their ladder takes them directly to the product's spare parts overview and, in the next step, they are conveniently guided to the enquiry form. Insights into the wide range of equipment for appliance rooms are also available in Wels.
Quality that saves lives
The heart of every fire brigade equipment is of course also represented at Munk Austria's rescuer presentation: With the different fire brigade ladders according to DIN EN 1147 or ÖNORM F 4047, the rescue and work platforms as well as the wide range of fire brigade boxes, the emergency services are optimally equipped for emergencies.
Munk not only presents all the new products and their classics from the product range live on site, but also in the Rescue Technology Guide No. 9. In addition to the print version, a highly functional digital version is also available: Users can browse and navigate the digital guidebook directly online at www.steigtechnik.de/katalog.
