Equipment Liebherr telescopic handler
Winkelbauer equips Liebherr telescopic handlers with equipment for disaster relief operations by volunteer fire brigades in Styria.
Burning for quality together - in the truest sense of the word
Winkelbauer was recently able to realise an exciting project for the Styrian Fire Brigade Association. For example, 17 Liebherr machines were fitted with equipment from Winkelbauer. Specifically: fire brigades from the Styrian districts are being equipped with Liebherr telescopic handlers including Winkelbauer equipment for disaster services, including the regional fire brigade section.
The traditional request for “assistance from above and an accident-free journey” is made at the blessing of the emergency vehicles.
This was also the case for the local volunteer fire brigade in Viertelfeistritz. In the presence of LH Mag. Christopher Drexler, OBR Johann Maier-Paar, Stephan & Franz Winkelbauer, Georg Fetz – Head of Construction machinery equipment at Winkelbauer as well as community representatives and many other guests of honour, the new support vehicle, the Liebherr telescopic handler including Winkelbauer equipment, was blessed and released for use. Thanks to HBI Martin Maier and OBI Werner Pessl for the invitation.The Winkelbauer equipment is also already being used successfully by other Styrian fire service organisations.
