rynkeapparat Maybe they also service sewing machines???
Per Bergvall Jun 9, 2011:
It's like they deserve... ...for this to be called snatch machine, for using such an idiotic source term in the first place. If utrykningstjeneste is what they meant, why didn'
t they say so?

response apparatus

No reliable pairings to be found, but this is undoubtedly based on "rykke" > "turn out" (e.g., a fire brigade responding to an alarm.) First link is the source for the example sentence. Second link is Google results for "response apparatus" + alarm.
Example sentence:

Quint 2 and Medic 1 will be the primary response apparatus for a routine automatic alarm.

turn out service

Det norske uttrykket er nok hjemmelaget. Det brukes av ett selskap, så vidt jeg kan se - og dette selskapet er ikke akkurat preget av godt språk:

Dette gjeldende i område med Vakt Service eget rykk apparat og er geografisk begrenset til de store byene

Meningen er nok at de tilbyr tjeneste hvor personell rykker ut, altså beveger seg fysisk, til et object ved behov.
Example sentence:

Does your security company have an approved turn out service with its own guards?
