Crisis and fire service
With the Hoeflon TC1, you move heavy equipment, tools, or recovery gear through parking garages, corridors, and other hard-to-reach areas. The TC1 is compact, electric, and runs on tracks. This allows for transport where regular vehicles cannot reach.
For emergency services and recovery specialists
The equipment must be taken inside, even if vehicles remain outside.
During incidents in parking garages, technical rooms, corridors, or other confined locations, accessibility is often the primary constraint. People must transport heavy equipment to places where vehicles cannot reach. This takes time, burdens the team, and makes deployment more complex.
The Hoeflon TC1 can help transport equipment to the deployment site in an electric and controlled manner. The carrier remains compact, runs on tracks, and can support specialized equipment via integration and tool power supply.
Time, access, and safety come under pressure simultaneously.
In crisis and recovery situations, equipment must be available quickly at the right location. However, many incident sites are not designed for vehicles: parking garages have limited height, corridors are narrow, and enclosed spaces do not allow exhaust fumes. If heavy equipment has to be brought inside manually, it consumes capacity and energy. For applications such as EV recovery or specialized firefighting and recovery tools, an additional technical question arises: how do you get the equipment to the location safely and in a usable condition?
• Regular vehicles cannot enter parking garages, narrow corridors, or confined spaces.
• Manually transporting heavy equipment takes time and puts a strain on people.
• Indoor and enclosed locations require electric equipment without exhaust fumes.
• Specialized equipment sometimes requires power or control.
• The safety of the battery pack and the operational environment is important.
The Hoeflon solution
A compact electric carrier for specialized applications
The TC1 transports heavy equipment or gear to locations where larger vehicles cannot reach. With a width of 700 mm, the carrier can pass through many restricted routes. The electric drive enables deployment in confined spaces without exhaust fumes. The track drive assists on thresholds, slopes, and uneven ground.
For crisis and firefighting applications, the combination is particularly interesting: compact transport, electric drive, LiFePO4 battery technology, and options for tool power supply or technical integration.
Why Hoeflon: Compact machines for situations where control is important
Hoeflon develops compact machines for professional applications where space, weight, and reliability are the deciding factors. For emergency services and recovery specialists, this combination is particularly important: the equipment must be deployable under pressure, but also remain practical in narrow or confined environments.
The TC1 is not a standard transport cart. It is an electric transport carrier with crawler tracks, remote control, CAN bus capabilities, and tool power supply. As a result, the carrier can be tailored to specialized applications.
Accessible in confined spaces
The TC1 can navigate narrow routes where regular vehicles cannot go. This makes it interesting for parking garages, corridors, and technical rooms.
Electric without exhaust fumes
When used indoors or in confined spaces, electric drive is a practical advantage. There is no fuel logistics and no emissions on site.
Less strenuous manual movement
The carrier takes over the transport of gear or equipment, so that people have to do less hauling under time pressure.
Support for specialized tools
With tool feeding and integration capabilities, the TC1 can be more than just transport. The carrier can become part of a recovery or firefighting solution.
Grip on challenging routes
Track drive helps with thresholds, slopes, and surfaces where wheels are less reliable.
Safety argument in sensitive applications
The LiFePO4 battery pack is relevant for applications where battery technology and safety are explicitly assessed.
Why TC1
The TC1 is of interest for crisis and fire brigade applications because it can carry heavy equipment without being a large vehicle. With a width of 700 mm and electric drive, it is suitable for many routes where regular vehicles stop. The driving speed of up to 6 km/h makes the carrier practical for movements at walking speed.
700 mm wide
Suitable for use in narrow corridors, passageways, and parking garage routes.
1000 kg capacity
Suitable for heavy equipment, tools, or recovery gear.
Crawler drive
Grip on speed bumps, ramps, and uneven surfaces.
Electrically powered
No exhaust fumes in enclosed spaces.
Tool connection
Equipment can draw power from the carrier.
Technical integration
Suitable for specialized equipment and deployment concepts
For crisis and firefighting applications, the carrier is often part of a larger deployment concept. The TC1 can carry equipment, but also supply power to gear or be technically integrated into a specialized superstructure.
Possible integration points:
• Tool connection up to 48V/60A for equipment on the carrier.
• CAN bus control for specialized functions.
• Remote operation for controlled remote deployment.
• Electric drive for confined spaces.
• Compact base for recovery, extinguishing, or inspection applications.
For organizations that transport heavy equipment to hard-to-reach places
This application is relevant for parties that must work under time pressure in confined or hard-to-reach spaces.
• Fire departments • Recovery companies • EV recovery specialists • Industrial incident teams • Emergency services with specialized equipment • OEMs for extinguishing, recovery, or inspection systems
