Voices from the field
A team used to have to walk alongside the vehicle with the nozzle in sweltering heat. Today the crew members stay in the vehicle, a driver and pump operator are enough. That takes a real load off our people.
Unfold it, hang it on the shackles, water on. At the first drill the bar was ready for action in under three minutes, with no tools and no manual in hand.
One Euro box, that's all the space the complete wildfire retrofit needs. We even had a free compartment for it on our TSF-W.
Secure what the wet line has gained
The same SnakE® modules, fitted with a rotary sprinkler nozzle: strapped to a tree, the rotary sprinkler holds your holding line, with up to 14 m throw at 4 bar and only approx. 24 l/min water consumption. The lightest rotary sprinkler system for tree mounting, even on slopes.
Your wet line, laid with retardant
You mix Retardant Euro-FC into the extinguishing water at typically 0.5-3%. The spray bar applies the mixed solution over a wide area in one pass, for wet lines and preventive protection, 100% biodegradable. Depending on the mixing rate, one 20 liter canister yields around 660 to 4,000 liters of solution.
Spray bar and sprinkler in one box
The SnakE® wildfire set adds four rotary sprinkler nozzles to this set ex works: lay the wet line and hold the line with one system.
- Drive:The spray bar lays the wet line while driving
- Secure:4 rotary sprinkler nozzles hold the line, strapped to a tree
- Stowed:All in one Euro box: every vehicle has room for that
