About

About Rhyno Protect

Rhyno Protect is a compact, fully electric tracked robot for firefighting and industrial hazard response. Its 74 cm-wide chassis fits through a standard 80 cm doorway and carries interchangeable modules for water or foam suppression, thermal and visual reconnaissance, equipment transport, casualty evacuation and sensor placement. Tool-free module changes take about 30 seconds.

The platform delivers up to 1,900 litres of water per minute, operates for five hours and carries up to 200 kg. It clears 20 cm obstacles, climbs 40-degree slopes and is protected to IP67. Front, rear and turret cameras support remote operation, while a line-of-sight control link reaches about 1 km when used with the mesh-relay option. The integrated thermal-protection system and all-terrain tracks support work around heat, water, dust, stairs and rough ground.
