MORETECH’S unrivalled experience when it comes to manufacturing windscreen wiper systems led to a partnership with Austrian firm Rosenbauer – specialist manufacturers of large, bespoke fire-fighting vehicles typically used at airports.
The sheer size of the fire engines’ windscreens offered up the first problem – solved by Moretech with a three-wiper system, each wiper being one metre long.
The wiper blades and motors are sourced from other specialist companies, but Moretech designs and engineers all in between – the linkages, cranks, crank assemblies and tie rods – to ensure the system runs like clockwork.
The Rosenbauer fire engines also feature a glass vision panel in the roof of the vehicle so the firefighters can see what is happening above when they are underneath planes.
With foam crashing down on the roof screen, the vehicles also need a wiper blade system here too.
The logistics of this are not difficult – but did offer up a problem – the motors used to power the roof wiper system were no longer in production.
Moretech was able to track down a company in France who made a similar motor and then set about redesigning and engineering the new bespoke motor which is used in Rosenbauer fire engines to this day.
