A Crash Fire Tender is a specialized fire engine designed for use in aircraft rescue and firefighting at aerodromes, airports, and military air bases. Airport crash tenders are extremely powerful machines. They offer relatively good acceleration (for such large, heavy vehicles), are able to negotiate rough terrain outside the airport area, carry large capacities of water and firefighting foam, are fitted with powerful high-capacity pumps and water/foam cannons, and are capable of delivering firefighting media over long distances. They can be mounted on 4x4, 6x6 or even 8x8 wheeled chassis. In order to decrease their turning radius, the 8x8 wheeled unit may have all 4 wheels at the front of the vehicle involved in turning the truck. Features: Meets ICAO and NFPA 414 standards 0-80Km/h in under 35 seconds Top speed 120Km/h Tilt angle over 30°
DCP Tender of 1000 and 2000 kg is most ideal and sophisticated equipment to combat oil fires. Automatic actuation is through one manual lever on one cylinder, which in turn sets of all the cylinders automatically. As the pressure reaches 1.5 kgcm2, the powder valve is automatically opened.
The time required for pressure builds up, gives monitor operator enough time to position the monitor and time enough to take hose reels to actual position of fire. The complete unit can also be offered with manual operation. Body works, cabin and control panel are fully illuminated for efficient night time operation.
