Off Road Vehicle Fire Suppression System 

Off Road automatic fire suppression for vehicles such as Airport Ground Support Equipment, Port Cranes, Loading Shovels and Forklifts, all have a punishing life and are there to get a job done. If they are not operating or are subject to a total loss due to a fire, their downtime can have a huge impact to the entire operation, whether it is an airport, container port or construction site.

These vehicles will have many flammable liquids on board such as the hydraulic fluid, diesel fuel, gasoline and lubricating oils. When combined with the heat of the turbochargers, manifolds and braking systems which can be exaggerated from their demanding schedules, they are ideal for fire conditions to start and derail your operation.

A simple way of protecting your investment is to provide an on-board vehicle Automatic fire suppression system in the Dual Agent configuration. Not only will it be able to provide rapid fire knockdown minimising fire damage and downtime, but it will also protect those superheated surfaces from reigniting.

Not all Dual Agent fire suppression systems are the same, Reacton® is the only manufacturer globally that is able to provide a fire protection system that meets the demanding testing program from the Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE). This is the P-Marked system to SPCR 199 accreditation.

Reacton® have set the benchmark for this standard by not only scoring the highest possible marks in the Fire suppression testing but also using an extremely compact and economical automatic fire suppression system size. This means approved systems are now accessible to Off Road vehicles previously not catered for such as your Forklift and Access Platforms.

High Performance Fire Suppression Systems

Off road vehicles have a demanding schedule and must perform in tough terrains, and climates. This is no different from the Automatic fire suppression that will also be subject to these conditions. Reacton® ensure that our equipment offers its high performance when called upon.

Our Off Road system features include:

  • System & components tested to ISO 16750-3:2007
  • Corrosion resistance to ISO 21207:2016
  • Multi Port High Flow Discharge Valve
  • Robust detection system
  • Compact systems
  • High performance with low nozzle count

Why Dual Agent Fire Suppression

Firstly, what is Dual Agent when it comes to fire suppression? Sometimes referred to as Twin Agent, this suppression concept is essentially a combination of two types of extinguishing mediums discharged either simultaneously or serially from two different discharge or piping networks; but controlled by the same fire detection and release system.

Reacton® automatic fire suppression systems designed for Off Road vehicles will commonly feature the Dual Agent configuration. This is made up of both a Dry Powder and Wet Chemical system.

This Dual Agent configuration offers significant advantages to just one type of extinguishing medium, especially when compared to just Wet Chemical systems, where it can offer a 40% reduction in our automatic fire suppression system size.

Dual Agent systems are an outstanding fire suppression method due to combining the individual features of Dry Powder & Wet Chemical into one extremely effective solution. So, not only can the system provide the rapid flame knockdown of Dry Powder with the cooling & blanketing properties of Wet Chemical, the system is economical and significantly smaller than that of a Wet Chemical only system.
