Vehicle hall during refurbishment
The Wolfskehlen fire brigade has mastered the challenge of the main building renovation with flying colours: an innovative temporary vehicle hall from the RÖDER H-Line ensures uninterrupted operational readiness. With a span of 15 metres, state-of-the-art materials and well thought-out functionality, the temporary solution offers everything an efficient fire brigade needs. Find out how this flexible solution could be a model for similar projects.
Quick and flexible accommodation for emergency vehicles
The Wolfskehlen fire brigade was faced with a particular challenge: the main building was to be renovated, but operational readiness had to be maintained. The solution? A ‘mobile vehicle hall’ that served as temporary accommodation for the emergency vehicles.
Do you have the same problem?
- Accommodation for rescue and fire-fighting vehicles during renovation or new construction of the fire station
- Warm hall also for emergency services with break room
- Cold hall for equipment in a fire service museum
RÖDER H-Line: Vehicle hall for the highest demands
The new vehicle hall was not only intended as a simple temporary solution, but also as a place for the firefighters to spend time. With the RÖDER H-Line, a construction was chosen that fulfils these requirements:
- Robust construction: 1.31 kN/m² snow load-bearing capacity
- Generous dimensions: 15.00 m span width and 15.00 m length
- Optimum room height: side height 5.20 m, ridge height 7.74 m
Functionality and cost-effectiveness of the vehicle hall
The temporary vehicle hall in Wolfskehlen offered everything needed for smooth operation:
- Quick access: Two electric roller shutters (dimensions: 3850 x 3900 mm) allowed emergency vehicles to exit at lightning speed.
- Personnel entrances: Three steel doors (dimensions: 1000 x 2000 mm) ensured optimum accessibility.
- Weather protection: Double-skin thermal roof tarpaulins and a trapezoidal sheet metal façade provided excellent protection against the weather.
Why is a temporary vehicle hall the right choice?
Fire brigades face the challenge of maintaining their operational readiness in times of refurbishment or rebuilding. A temporary or mobile vehicle hall offers decisive advantages here:
- Flexibility: quick assembly and dismantling as required
- Cost savings: no long-term investment in temporary structures
- Customised solutions: Adaptation to the specific requirements of the fire service on site
Innovative materials for a durable vehicle hall
The materials used in the temporary vehicle hall are designed for durability and functionality:
- Aluminium profiles: lightweight yet stable
- Plastic-coated fabric panels: Weather-resistant and insulating
- PVC rain gutter: effective water drainage over 30 linear metres

Focus on sustainability in the temporary vehicle hall
Sustainability also plays an important role in temporary solutions. The vehicle hall impressed with the following aspects:
- Reusability: Can be used elsewhere after refurbishment
- Energy efficiency: good insulation thanks to modern materials
- Conservation of resources: Temporary solution instead of new construction
By the way, sustainability is a top priority for us. Here is a short expert contribution from our environmental management officer Sonja Götzinger on the subject of sustainability in the tent and hall industry.
Conclusion: Flexibility and safety with a mobile vehicle hall
The temporary vehicle hall in Wolfskehlen impressively demonstrates how well thought-out planning can ensure the fire brigade service even in exceptional situations and offers a real alternative to conventional solid construction. It is an example of how flexibility and functionality can go hand in hand.
For example, we have also equipped the Paris fire brigade with additional vehicle halls.
We also offer our SAS crew and operations tents for firefighters.
