The flooding situation in Central Europe, caused by prolonged heavy rain, remains critical. Water levels in rivers running through Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Hungary have already reached record highs. Emergency flood response has been declared in settlements along the Danube. Hungary is also on high alert.
In this situation, every available resource is being used to fight the bad weather: machinery, the army, emergency services staff, volunteers.
In the city of Baja, in southern Hungary, Manitou machines are directly involved in flood-defence work. Four telescopic loaders with operators at the controls remain in constant readiness, day and night. As soon as a call comes in, they head out immediately to help solve the problem.
And in an emergency, Manitou machinery is there to help!
