RHYNO PROTECT

Rhyno Protect: the ultimate medium firefighting robot

The Rhyno Protect firefighting robot is a compact yet powerful ally in firefighting. Built as the “little brother” to Colossus, Rhyno Protect is designed to operate in high-risk environments where quick, responsive support is needed. This versatile robot is ideal for medium-scale missions requiring fire suppression, reconnaissance, and casualty assistance, proving indispensable in hostile and confined spaces.

Modular adaptability for every mission

With five quick-change mission modules, Rhyno Protect adapts to various firefighting and rescue scenarios, enhancing flexibility in dynamic conditions. Each module can be swapped in under 30 seconds, enabling fast response across mission types. The core modules include:.

• High-capacity water cannon: delivers up to 2000L per minute, offering targeted, powerful firefighting.
• Reconnaissance camera: features an 8MP camera with 130° FOV and integrated LED lighting for clear visibility in dark areas..
• Equipment basket: transports essential firefighting tools and equipment over rough terrains..
• Electro-hydraulic arm: allows manipulation of debris and obstacles in hazardous zones..
• Smoke extraction fan: enhances visibility by removing smoke in enclosed spaces..

These modules make Rhyno Protect a versatile asset in our Firefighting Robot application suite, allowing teams to respond to a wide range of fire and rescue needs.

Built to withstand extreme conditions

Rhyno Protect is constructed to endure the toughest conditions. Its IP65-rated waterproofing and impact-resistant design allow it to function in intense heat, heavy rain, and harsh terrain. Agile and resilient, Rhyno Protect can navigate slopes up to 35° and reach speeds of 5 km/h, making it effective in both confined urban spaces and challenging outdoor landscapes. Its operational endurance of up to 5 hours ensures sustained support during prolonged missions, minimizing downtime and increasing safety for firefighters.

For extended, large-scale operations, Colossus complements Rhyno Protect, providing robust firefighting power and expanded operational reach.
