GOGOA Showcases Its Exoskeletons for Firefighters at the Zona Franca Fire Station in Barcelona

Last week, the team from GOGOA visited the Zona Franca Fire Station, located in Barcelona’s Sant Martí District, to present our portfolio of exoskeletons for firefighters, designed both for injury prevention and operational support in emergency and rescue services.

The purpose of the visit was to demonstrate how exoskeletons for firefighters in Barcelona can be seamlessly integrated into daily operations, reducing physical strain, mitigating musculoskeletal risks, and enhancing performance in demanding intervention scenarios.

Prevention Exoskeletons for Barcelona’s Firefighters

During the session, fire crews explored and tested our prevention-focused exoskeletons, including ExoSoft and other advanced systems engineered to:

• Reduce muscular fatigue during repetitive or prolonged tasks.

• Minimise strain on the back, shoulders, and upper limbs during load-bearing activities.

• Enhance ergonomic performance in real interventions, without limiting mobility or responsiveness.

Demonstrations were carried out around typical operational scenarios faced by Barcelona’s firefighters:

• Handling and transporting heavy equipment.

• Prolonged work in forced or demanding postures.

• Moving with full protective gear and tools.

These prevention exoskeletons for firefighters are designed to integrate effortlessly with PPE and operational equipment, meeting the high standards of comfort, fast adjustment, and durability required in Barcelona’s fire services.

ExoRescue: The Exoskeleton for Emergency and Rescue Services in Barcelona

A central highlight of the visit was the presentation of ExoRescue, the exoskeleton developed by GOGOA specifically for emergency and rescue professionals.

ExoRescue is engineered to support:

• Urban, industrial, and natural search-and-rescue missions.

• Operations requiring transport of heavy equipment or movement of casualties.

• Scenarios where endurance, physical protection, and operational safety are of paramount importance.

The system is designed to:

• Increase load-bearing capacity and endurance.

• Preserve maximum freedom of movement for swift, precise action.

• Integrate seamlessly with standard equipment used by emergency services in Barcelona, without disrupting operational protocols.

Through ExoRescue, GOGOA strengthens its leadership in exoskeletons for emergency and rescue professionals, offering refined solutions suited to firefighters, civil protection units, and rapid response teams.

Strong Interest from Barcelona’s Firefighters

The visit to the Zona Franca Fire Station in Barcelona generated strong technical and operational interest. Firefighters raised thoughtful enquiries regarding:

• Integration of exoskeletons with personal protective equipment and uniforms.

• Donning and doffing times in real-world emergency conditions.

• Required training, adaptation, and operational guidelines.

• Durability, maintenance, and performance in varied environmental conditions.

This feedback is invaluable to GOGOA, directly informing our ongoing process of refinement, validation, and real-world optimisation of our exoskeletons for firefighters—both in Barcelona and internationally.
