Vallfirest unveils enhanced Dronster for emergency operations
Vallfirest has introduced an upgraded version of its Dronster multi-emergency robot, designed for hazardous environments such as wildfires, industrial incidents, and chemical risks.
The remote-controlled machine features a 59 HP Stage V engine and a compact build that is 30 cm narrower than comparable models.
It operates at a range of up to 150 metres and is equipped with safety measures, including an emergency stop button.
Multi-purpose functionality for various emergency scenarios
The Dronster is designed to handle multiple tasks with its ability to operate three tools simultaneously.
It supports front and rear attachments as well as an extinguishing monitor, allowing for versatility in fire suppression, forestry management, and industrial operations.
The robot can be fitted with implements such as trenchers for firebreaks, snowploughs for winter operations, and rear shovels for clearing combustible materials.
Its hydraulic connection system allows for quick tool changes depending on the emergency requirements.
Designed for safety and efficiency in hazardous environments
The remote-control system allows operators to manage the Dronster from a safe distance, reducing exposure to dangerous conditions.
With total traction and the ability to function on demanding slopes, it is engineered to work effectively in unstable terrain.
The machine incorporates a double cooling system, overturning protection, and an anti-debris protective body to enhance durability and performance in extreme conditions.
Its low fuel consumption also contributes to prolonged operational efficiency.
Mobility and deployment options for rapid response
Weighing 1,450 kg, the Dronster is built for mobility.
It can be transported via helicopter or on compact double-axle trailers for rapid deployment in emergency situations.
The machine’s design includes a high chassis for overcoming obstacles and four anchoring points for aerial transportation.
Its remote usability and wide range of movement make it adaptable for both urban and remote incident responses.
