Two years ago, they have invested into several interesting types of machines, apart from a 32 tonnes fire engine MAN TGS 41.460 with 8 x 8 drive and water tank of 11,000 litres of volume, they have also purchased a specially modified telescopic manipulator Bobcat T40.180SLP which has the lifting capacity of 4 tonnes, 4 x 4 drive, and a combustion motor of 100 horsepower.
Maximum lifting height is 17.5 metres which means that it can reach the roof of a normal five floors building. Thanks to this combination, OSP Gąbin ha probably the most unique carpark of fire equipment in Poland and they can work in extreme conditions.
OSP Gąbin has been working with the telescopic Bobcat manipulator for almost two years.
