Rectangular shaped lifting bags: proven rescue tools for use in operations
Rectangular shaped lifting bags offer several practical advantages. With their low insertion height, they fit into the narrowest
of cracks and gaps. With their rectangular shape, they can be pushed especially far into narrow openings. Also, if you need a
large contact area, rectangular shaped lifting bags are your first choice. For example, you can safely and efficiently raise a truck
frame with a rectangular shaped lifting bag due to its special shape.

Uniform pressure distribution For thin-walled coachwork


Safe operation Wedge-shaped for optimum lift angle

At bus accidents, your emergency personnel must cope with many injured persons at once, and seconds
make the difference between life and death. The special shape of Vetter’s wedge lifting bags provides an
optimum lift angle. Free trapped passengers quickly from overturned busses. Thanks to the wedge-shaped
bags, the load is distributed uniformly over the entire lifting distance. With their ideal pressure distribution,
the bags are perfectly suited to lift thin-walled coachwork such as the side walls of buses. In doing so, they
maintain continuous and secure contact with both the coachwork and the underlying surface.

Positioning ropes on the back side.

Our classic lifting bag has proven itself in 40 years of service. Trust in handwork made in Germany and
rely on the pneumatics professionals. Internal stabilizing straps keep the lifting bag from bulging and
provide a flat contact area over the entire lifting height. Vetter lifting bags are distinguished by an ideal
pressure distribution. In effect, they can also lift thin-walled coachwork such as vans or small airplanes
without damaging them. On soft or slippery surfaces, the clever anti-slip dimples on the extremely
tough top and bottom sides provide a firm hold.

Leak sealing lance (1.5 bar / 21.75 psi)


The quick fix for sealing leaks.

Ready to use in seconds For sealing cracks and holes


Only one person required for setup Ensures safe distance from leak

When you’re the first person on the rescue site, the Vetter leak sealing lance enables you to act quickly.
With no assistance required, you can seal small leaks in storage tanks, tank trucks or wagons in seconds
and from a safe distance. By using the wedge and cone bags at the tip of the leak sealing lance, you will
effectively reduce the volume flow rate at cracks measuring 0.6 – 2.3 inches and holes measuring 1.2 –
3.5 inches. Anti-slip profiles on the bags ensure a good grip. The device with its simple design provides
an invaluable quick-fix which will buy you time to put further measures in place.

PVC hollow rods can easily be combined to give the lance a maximum length of 55 inches.

Sealing area of 20 x 12 inches Up to 1 bar (14.5 psi) counterpressure

Reliably seal leaks and safely drain hazardous substances with the acid drain hose. Vetter leak drainage
bags are the ideal solution when substances cannot be drained via the normal opening, or if this can
only be done with considerable technical effort, e.g. in the case of high-up discharge openings on tanks
or a pump failure. As Vetter leak drainage bags are tensioned with belts, they can be used on many
kinds of surfaces. The bags are quick and easy to inflate using a foot pump. Only a few strokes of the
pump are required to seal the leak.

Problems with leaky pipe connections? Make the task of sealing difficult leaks on all types of flanges
easier for your team. Flanges are critical pipe sections and conventional sealing bags will rarely be effec-
tive here. Vetter flange drain bags cover the flange and pipe, reliably stop the leakage of hazardous liquids
and at the same time allow you to drain off the liquid in a controlled and safe manner. The bags come in
three sizes to cover all customary pipelines and flanges. Gel plates are included for convenient smooth-
ing out of minor irregularities and unevenness on the pipe’s surface. It couldn’t be simpler: Place the
bag around the flange and pipe, close the zip fastener along the entire length of the bag and inflate the
sleeves. Immediately, everything is sealed and you can commence with controlled drainage of the liquid.

Pneumatic collection tubs


High capacity for decontaminating vehicles.

Set up in seconds Decontaminates vehicles up to 65.6 ft. length


High resistance Collects up to 18,000 l (635.6 cu. ft.)

With pneumatic collection tubs from Vetter you can be sure you are using the latest technology and
that you are fully prepared even for major emergencies, such as epidemics. In emergency scenarios,
you will be able to decontaminate trucks and emergency vehicles, for example, in a safe and controlled
way. Stop hazardous substances before they cause environmental damage and store them temporarily
until further action can be taken. In the case of a leaking tanker, for instance, push the collection tub
directly under the vehicle at the scene of the accident. Vetter’s pneumatic collection tubs can be set up
in seconds and buy you valuable time to put measures in place to seal leaks.

You have a choice of materials to suit any given scenario. Our standard tubs are made of PVC
(e.g. resistant to nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, caustic soda, etc.) or Alcryn (e.g. resistant to ASTM oil
No. 1 – 3, gear oil, kerosene, petrol, etc.).

Water tanks
Space-saving storage of fresh and contaminated water.

Small folded size Capacity of 500 – 100,000 l (17.6 – 3,530 cu. ft.)
Extremely sturdy material Food-safe version available

Need to store large volumes of water, contaminated extinguishing water or valuable drinking water?
That’s no problem with Vetter’s self-erecting flexible water tanks. Collect and store contaminated or
drinking water after accidents, storms or fires or during drinking water shortages. Vetter water tanks
can hold up to one hundred times their folded volume.

Open water tanks (OWT): The open water tank is self-erecting thanks to the float ring. The tanks,
which are made of tear-proof PVC, have a very sturdy anodised 2“ aluminium flange and a shock-
resistant PVC ball valve. The tank can be filled and emptied with speed and ease using a Storz A
coupling. Vetter supplies the water tanks in a practical packing bag with repair kit as standard.
As an option, we can also include covers for every tank size.

Closed water tanks (GWT and GWT-L): Reinforced PVC gives the closed water tanks maximum
stability. You can also opt to have corner brackets fitted to the tanks for safe transportation by truck –
even of filled tanks. An opening on the top side of the tank serves as a vent or for refilling.
Also available is a food-safe closed tank for storing drinking water.

Caution when dealing with corrosive acids and hazardous alkaline solutions! Hazardous liquids pose
a particular challenge for your emergency response teams. When simply sealing a leak is not possible,
use Vetter’s GFRP collection containers to collect corrosive substances. The containers are made of
acid-resistant, glass-fiber-reinforced polyester. As the containers come with secure lids with all-round
sealing, you can also transport the liquids or keep them in long-term storage.

Decontamination tent PZ 40 3 L
Safe and quick mass decontamination.

Ready to use in only 5 minutes For up to 12 persons at a time


Optimised room layout Also for injured persons in horizontal position

Every minute counts in an emergency. Decontaminate large numbers of people in a short time. With two
longitudinal separation walls, the tent can be divided into 3 decontamination lines. Use the middle line (5.93
ft. wide) for decontamination of injured persons in horizontal position, the two outer lines (5.18 ft. wide)
offer enough space for separate showering of men and women. The shower units divide the tent into areas
for undressing, showering and dressing. Since every shower unit has its own water supply, the quantity
and temperature of water can be controlled individually. The color coding of the duct openings in the tent
provides practical orientation (blue: water, red: heating or electricity, green: compressed air). A one-piece
collection tub in the shower area prevents liquids from pouring into the tent. To extend the functionality of
the PZ 40 3 L, you can easily connect PZ 30 and PZ 40 universal tents and use them as additional supply or
accommodation units.

Simultaneous decontamination on 3 lines.

The clever system for reliable decontamination.

Ready to use in only 4 minutes For decontamination of emergency personnel


Complete decontamination system Undressing, showering and dressing in one tent

Quick help for the victims of chemical accidents and radioactive or biological contamination is most
important – also is the immediate cleaning of the rescuers! With the PZ 20 Decon, you get a complete
decontamination system with shower, dressing and undressing areas all in one tent. The tent provides
extra protection from wind and weather during decontamination of emergency personnel. The
integrated shower with fronting drip area prevents liquids from pouring into the tent.

Especially practical: Since the shower can be removed, you can also use the PZ 20 Decon as a 216 sq.
ft. tent. If you need extra space during an operation, simply connect the Vetter PZ 17 universal tent to
the decontamination tent. Right away, you have additional 183 sq. ft. available to use as storage room,
supply station, holding area or command center.

Self-erecting Extensive pro-equipment

Vetter decontamination showers are specially tailored to your mission. Light and mobile, they fit on
every emergency vehicle. The fronting basin prevents the spread of contaminated liquids. Clever mag-
netic fasteners for quick opening and closing of the shower curtain save valuable time in emergencies.
With the integrated gloves, you can safely clean contaminated persons from outside. The raised sup-
port frame of our decontamination showers allows ergonomic posture while working. Eight movable
shower nozzles at various heights guarantee complete cleaning. After cleaning, contaminated liquids
can be drained from the inlaid basin without using a submersible pump. With their robust overall
construction and special abrasion-resistant undersides, Vetter decontamination showers are especially
durable. Extended by an universal tent, the shower can also feature areas for dressing and undressing.
