As Typhoon Meranti (No. 14) approached, Hi-Shan Machinery urgently dispatched high-end emergency rescue equipment — the Suction Excavation Vehicle and the walking work platform — to Jiaowei Town, Xianyou, to clear a severely blocked river channel under a large bridge. The job combined the Suction Excavation Vehicle with the walking work platform, drawing on the Suction Excavation Vehicle’s long-distance operation and powerful suction and on the walking work platform’s maneuverability, all-terrain capability and ability to “go up mountains and down into rivers.” This solved the problems of ordinary machinery being unable to enter the river channel and of the cleared debris being impossible to transport. After emergency excavation and suction dredging by the equipment, the severely blocked river channel was cleared, ensuring that water could flow freely when the rainstorm arrived.
