VTN Mobile breathing air systems
While performing maintenance and repair work on industrial installations, the use of suitable self-contained breathing air protection is often an important prerequisite, especially when this work takes place in confined spaces. VTN has been a specialist in the production, development and maintenance of mobile breathing air solutions for over 40 years.

Mobile breathing air systems
In certain cases, the use of a self-contained breathing apparatus alone will be insufficient because of the duration of the work. In these cases, external breathing air facilities with a significantly bigger breathing air capacity are required.
To meet the demand for these high-performance breathing air facilities, VTN has developed an extensive and high-quality range of mobile breathing air facilities in recent years. They vary from breathing air trolleys and trailers to life support units, which are suitable for installation in a truck or container. All of these products are designed to be suitable for daily use in severe conditions, taking into account the end users’ wishes.
All mobile breathing air facilities designed and manufactured by VTN have an official CE approval mark through Lloyd’s Register and they all meet the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU. It will therefore come as no surprise that, based on their proven quality and user-friendliness, all of these VTN breathing air products have found their way to many well-known industrial (supply) companies and the associated specialist rental companies in Europe and all over the world.
