In the three days and nights of continuous rescue, Zoomlion rescue team raced against time to rescue survivors from the rubble, so far has successfully rescued more than 30 people, and with the “national” Chinese rescue team successfully “join forces”.
The man was rescued after being trapped for more than 80 hours
Hatay province was one of the hardest hit by the Turkish earthquake. On the afternoon of September 9, rescue workers found an elderly woman in a local rubble, the collapsed floor pressure on her body, unable to move, her mouth kept Shouting, but the voice is increasingly weak. The Zoomlion rescue team, which was searching nearby, rushed to the scene immediately and found that the debris was formed after the collapse of a seven-story building. The whole building had fallen backward and tilted at an Angle of more than 30 degrees due to foundation damage. The old man was trapped on the second floor and faced difficulties in rescue.
After finding out the situation, Zoomlion rescue team and local personnel immediately discussed the development of a rescue plan, the excavator driven by the machine first to clean up next to the collapse, cleaning while carefully approaching, and then let the rescue workers climb over to rescue. At 17pm local time, the old man was finally rescued, more than 85 hours after the earthquake.
After the earthquake in Turkey, Zoomlion headquarters immediately instructed the local branch to set up a rescue team and urgently mobilized personnel, supplies and equipment. The first batch of 5 excavators and a large number of urgently needed supplies and rescue workers traveled through the night and the night. It took them 16 hours to rush more than 1,000 kilometers from Istanbul to Hatay Province through snowstorms and road blockades.
As the rescue operation is organized and orderly, Zoomlion’s participation in the rescue is also growing. Zoomlion equipment of various types, including excavators, crawler cranes and car cranes, has been deployed in the earthquake-stricken areas of Turkey. After three days and nights of continuous fighting, Zoomlion rescue team has rescued more than 30 trapped people in Hatay province.
In addition to rich rescue experience and strong emergency rescue capability, Zoomlion’s complete emergency rescue system also provides a strong guarantee for this rescue operation. It is understood that since the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, Zoomlion’s emergency rescue system has been continuously improved. It has become a tradition of Zoomlion in emergency rescue work to link nearby customers to participate in rescue through the Internet of things and other means. Since then, in the emergency rescue process of various disasters, Zoomlion heavy equipment is the first time to arrive at the scene of disaster rescue.
