Mobile breathing air systems
In some situations, a self-contained breathing apparatus alone is insufficient, especially when work durations are extended. In these cases, external breathing air systems with significantly larger capacities are essential.

These include breathing air trolleys, trailers, and life support units designed for installation in trucks or containers. Each product is built for daily use in demanding environments, tailored to the needs of end users.
