Car-X Simulator · Technical rescue

Practice extrication. Even in winter.

The Car-X brings technical rescue into your apparatus bay: door opening, pillar cuts and dash roll with your own rescue tools. No broken glass, no vehicle fluids, with replaceable wear parts. That way every responder gets their hands on the spreader and cutter more often.

Train in any weather

Your apparatus bay, now a drill yard.

In winter it is dark by 17:00, and sleet is falling on the drill yard. With the Car-X, you move technical rescue into the apparatus bay. No broken glass, no vehicle fluids, and at the end of the evening the bay is clear again.

Scrap vehicle outside

  • Drills depend on weather, daylight and the drill yard
  • Broken glass on the training ground
  • Oil, fuel and coolant have to be drained first
  • Each door and each pillar exists only once
  • Procurement, delivery, disposal with a certificate of destruction

Car-X in the apparatus bay

  • Practice in the apparatus bay, even in winter
  • No broken glass in the bay
  • No vehicle fluids in the unit
  • Swap the wear part, next run
  • Set up in about 5 minutes, then rolled away again

No broken glass

The Car-X leaves no scattered glass. Your bay stays clean.

No vehicle fluids

No oil, no fuel, no coolant, no airbag and no seatbelt pretensioner. Nothing leaks, nothing deploys.

Quickly back in service

Set up by two people in about 5 minutes. After the drill, swap the wear parts, roll the unit away, and the bay is clear.

Six extrication techniques

What you train on the Car-X works on real cars.

The drawing shows where each technique sits on a real vehicle. On the Car-X, you practice them with your own rescue tools, repeatable as often as you like thanks to replaceable wear parts.

  1. Set the Halligan tool and axe, create a purchase point, then pop the door at the Nader pin with the spreader.

    • Halligan tool
    • axe
    • spreader
  2. Use the hydraulic cutter or reciprocating saw and remove the door completely.

    • Cutter
    • reciprocating saw
  3. Realistic cutting drills on the A and B pillars, including a strut tower cut.

    • Cutter
  4. Conventionally with a rescue ram or modified with the spreader, to free trapped people. For the dash roll, the Car-X has an additional safeguard.

    • Rescue ram
    • spreader
  5. Spot the simulated high-voltage cable on the frame and assess it correctly. Targeted awareness for incidents involving EVs.

  6. A rescue manikin sits in the unit as the trapped patient. No real person ever sits there during cutting and spreading. That way you practice every move with an eye on the person it is all about.

    • Rescue manikin

Compatible with hydraulic spreader, cutter, rescue ram, reciprocating saw and stabilization struts.

Car-X Simulator im Detail: eingespannte Fahrzeugsäule zum Üben von Schnitten an der Karosserie

Car-X in action: clamped pillar for cutting drills

One wear part, several exercises

  1. Door opening
  2. A and B pillars
  3. Dash roll

The leftover door pieces are reused for the pillar and dash roll.

The unit

Built for many runs.

The Car-X brings the components of a car into a form you can use again and again. Whatever gets cut or spread is a replaceable wear part.

  • High repetition rate Replaceable wear parts instead of whole vehicles. The same component is reused several times.
  • Set up in about 5 minutes Set up by two people, rolled away after the drill or stowed compactly.
  • Compact & mobile Moves on casters, stows compactly or can be transported via a trailer hitch.
  • Versatile For spreader, cutter, rescue ram, reciprocating saw and stabilization struts.
  • Cost-efficient No practice vehicle needed, wear parts instead of whole car bodies.
  • Patented design Carefully engineered for maximum training efficiency, with an additional safeguard for the dash roll.

Who is the Car-X for?

  • Fire academies and training centers Trainees gain first experience with rescue tools before they practice on real vehicles.
  • Career and volunteer fire departments Continuous training all year round, even when no practice vehicle is available.
  • Recruits and career changers A safe start in operating the spreader, cutter, rescue ram and more.

More responders, more repetitions

How many scrap vehicles for your drill night?

Having done a move once does not mean you can perform it reliably on a call. Routine comes from repetition. On scrap vehicles, every repetition costs new doors, new pillars and, in the end, new vehicles.

For a road traffic collision with a trapped person, the vfdb plans 14 fire department responders and stresses how important initial and continuing training is when calls are rare.

Routine grows: every further run reinforces the move.

Welche Techniken stehen auf dem Plan?

On scrap vehicles you’d need

14

Altfahrzeuge

Damit jede der 9 Einsatzkräfte jede Technik 3-mal übt, sind das 108 Durchgänge. Every vehicle has to be procured, drained, delivered and disposed of with a certificate of destruction.

Statt 14 Altfahrzeugen: one Car-X in your apparatus bay. Swap the wear part, next run. The leftover door pieces go into the pillar and dash roll.

Request a quote Your quote will set out how many wear parts your training plan needs.

Calculated for a four-door car: 4 doors, 4 A and B pillars, 2 sides for the dash roll. Door opening and door removal share the same doors. Staffing basis: vfdb fact sheet on guideline 06/01, as of 03/2020.

FAQs

What fire departments ask about the Car-X

Your question isn’t listed? Call us or write to us, and you’ll get an answer within 24 hours.

Ask us

Does the Car-X replace training on scrap vehicles?

The Car-X complements it. It builds routine into every move before you practice on a real vehicle, and that makes your time on the scrap vehicle far more productive.

Can I practice with the Car-X in the apparatus bay?

Yes. The Car-X produces no broken glass, and the unit contains no vehicle fluids such as oil, fuel or coolant. After drill night, you swap the wear parts, roll the unit aside, and the bay is clear again.

How often can an exercise be repeated?

What you cut and spread are replaceable wear parts. The leftover door pieces are reused for the pillar and dash roll, so one wear part covers several exercises. Your quote will set out how many wear parts your training plan needs.

How safe is practicing on the Car-X?

During cutting and spreading, a rescue manikin always sits in the Car-X, never a real person. For the dash roll, the Car-X has an additional safeguard.

Which rescue tools can I use?

Hydraulic spreader, cutter, rescue ram, reciprocating saw and stabilization struts. Door opening starts the classic way with a Halligan tool and axe.

How is the Car-X transported and stored?

It moves on casters, stows compactly and can be transported via a trailer hitch.

How long does setup take?

Two people have the Car-X set up in about 5 minutes. After the drill, you roll it aside or stow it compactly.

Can I see or test the Car-X first?

Yes. We come to your fire department for a demo. Or you rent the Car-X for a training day or a training week and test it at your own drill nights.

Can you purchase on account?

Yes, for public authorities, municipalities and fire departments. On request, we issue the invoice as an XRechnung.

How does a request work?

You send a no-obligation request via the form. We get back to you within 24 hours with personal advice and an individual quote, including a demo on request.

Do you offer quotes for fire academies and training centers?

Yes, for fire academies and training centers we prepare an individual quote, also in combination with rental or technical rescue training.
