Meet the Founder

After three decades designing and manufacturing equipment for the salvage and rescue industry, I saw a clear gap on the road: as electric vehicles became more common, no one had a fast, safe way to move them when they were damaged or burning.

That gap is what First-Mover was built to close. The platform is fully patented and is now proven across countries and industries — chosen by customers who can't afford to compromise on safety.

Proven in Real-Life Emergencies

First-Mover has been tested in critical situations, including moving burning vehicles and electric cars. Trusted by Shell in Holland and CPH Airport in Denmark, it proves its reliability where safety matters most.

3500kg

The First-Mover lifts up to 3.500 kg with ease, and can quickly move cars out of tough situation

100m

It's fully remote-controlled. All functions can be operated by a person up to 100 meters away.

700m

Both FME and FMR drive on up to 18" inclines and lift 700mm from the road surface.

5 Areas

We operate across all continents, serving clients and partners around the world.

First-Mover R-3500 units lined up

Operable by one person within 100m.

“The pickup platform slides under the crashed vehicle, making direction and location irrelevant during recovery.

Its hydraulic system lifts vehicles up to 600mm, clearing the road or parking deck. From there, First-Mover maneuvers the vehicle freely—no extra personnel or equipment needed.”

Power is taken from the smart auxiliary output socket featured on all 2500 PRO machines. Not only does this provide power on demand for the hydraulic pump within the crane, it also disables drive functions once the crane is operational.
