The problem
Corporate buyouts, brand handovers and shifts in business decisions leave many fire-fighting vehicles and platforms without official support, and their users struggle to find parts and technical service for their fleets.
Our approach
As specialists in heavy machinery automation, we perform standards-based electronic revamping and retrofitting for aging global-brand fire-fighting vehicles, including legacy platforms originally built by major European and international manufacturers.
Our core solutions
- Standard-compliant retrofit: full upgrade of analog systems into modern digital architectures designed to international safety standards (SIL2/PLd-targeted design)
- Extended operational life: restoring machinery abandoned by original manufacturers due to corporate buyouts or shifts in business decisions
- Precision control: fully renewed proportional valve driving, state-of-the-art sensor integration and advanced operator interfaces
Proven international track record
With successful international revamping references already deployed abroad, we provide definitive solutions for end-users, municipalities, civil defense authorities and technical service firms who struggle to find official support for their legacy fleets.
Who is it for?
Whether you manage fleets in Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East or the Arab States, don’t let a lack of manufacturer support compromise public safety. Contact us to learn more about our global references and how we can modernize your mission-critical machinery.
Scope and responsibility
We define the limits of a revamping project up front:
- EHR Elektronik is not the machine manufacturer: we design and commission the control system and prepare its technical documentation.
- The party making the substantial modification takes on the manufacturer’s obligations (CE conformity, technical file).
- At the request of the inspection body, we prepare only the technical documents related to the control system.
- Structural risks such as metal fatigue and structural inspection are outside our scope.
- User documentation is delivered in English and Turkish.
Revamping reference examples
- Bizzocchi VP33 aerial ladder platform in Portugal: the complete control architecture was redesigned and modernized; the machine’s manufacturer is no longer active.
- European-made aerial ladder: a ladder that faced spare-part shortages and a lack of technical support from its original manufacturer had all its controls modernized with state-of-the-art components.
- PLC-to-proportional hydraulic valve driver: MRS Electronic’s CAN I/O hardware combined with EHR Elektronik’s motion control firmware and calibration software.

Frequently asked questions
Who is responsible for CE conformity and the technical file after a revamping?
The party making the substantial modification takes on the manufacturer’s obligations (CE conformity, technical file). EHR Elektronik is not the machine manufacturer: we design and commission the control system and prepare its technical documentation.
Does the revamping include structural inspection?
No. Structural risks such as metal fatigue and structural inspection are outside our scope. At the request of the inspection body, we prepare only the technical documents related to the control system.
In which languages is the user documentation delivered?
User documentation is delivered in English and Turkish.
