Rodby has delivered an extra-large skate treadmill, model RL4500Ex3000 (length 4500 mm, width 3000 mm), to the Bundespolizeisportschule located in Bad Endorf, Bavaria, Germany.
The Bundespolizeisportschule supports winter sports athletes in 12 different disciplines and has accommodations for 85 athletes, with approximately 50 athletes residing at the school during the summer.
In addition to promoting elite sports, the school also offers police-specific sports courses, such as training courses for operational training, preventive and sports courses.
The RL4500Ex3000 skate treadmill is used for physiological testing and training in disciplines such as cross-country skiing, biathlon, Nordic combined, and alpine training.

About the treadmill
Safety Framework
The treadmill at the Bundespolizeisportschule in Bad Endorf is equipped with the optional Safety Framework, including 3 automatic emergency stop switches. The three main advantages of using the safety framework with automatic emergency stop switches on the treadmill, instead of a ceiling-mounted emergency stop, are as follows:
- No need for interventions in the building’s inner ceiling to mount one or more hooks.
- The distance between the athlete’s belt or harness and the safety framework’s stop switch remains constant. This means that the length of the safety line does not need to be adjusted when the treadmill is raised or lowered (with a ceiling-mounted emergency stop switch, the test leader must adjust the length of the safety line when the treadmill is elevated or lowered). It is easier for a solo rider, without a test leader present, to independently control the treadmill in a safe manner.
- The safety framework is equipped with three automatic emergency stop switches: a middle switch for sports that require the use of the entire width of the treadmill, and two side switches for pair training with two athletes side by side.
