ROODBERG: A PROUD PARTNER OF KNRM (THE NETHERLANDS RESCUE SOCIETY)

KNRM will replace the Valentijn-class lifeboats for the new Van Wijk-class in the coming years. The Van Wijk boats are named after Riet and Jan van Wijk, the testators who left money for the construction of the first boat in this series.

In places along the coast where there is no port, KNRM has mobile rescue stations; lifeboats that are launched with a vehicle and trailer, via the beach.

Roodberg is proud, once again, to supply the trailers to this valued customer. A tractor-boat trailer combination drives the lifeboat quickly and safely across the beach to the water, often under harsh conditions. The lifeboats can be used up to wind force 12. The combination is a unique system worldwide!

Both the lifeboat and the trailer have passed all practical tests with flying colours. What does that look like? In this film, the new lifeboat is launched by the new Roodberg boat trailer.
