Fire destroys billions of dollars worth of industrial equipment every year. Industrial vehicles are plagued with potential fire hazards and burn at an alarming rate. These fires pose a serious threat to operator safety and disrupt business operations.

Vehicle fire suppression systems can detect and suppress fires before they have a chance to do severe damage to your equipment. These systems protect the operator from severe or fatal injuries, prevent downtime and save equipment.

Vehicle Fires

Some Ever-Present Dangers:

• Engine Compartment - The engine compartment contains an assortment of fluids, fuels, oils, and greases, as well as congested wires, hoses, and accumulated debris, all very near high heat sources.
• Battery Compartments - Battery compartments are a potential fire hazard when combustible materials build up on the top of the battery. These materials, in the presence of moisture, can cause a short circuit.
• Transmissions, Torque Converters and Parking Brakes - All these components are a possible high heat source that could cause combustible materials to ignite.
• High Pressure Hoses - Hot fluid spraying from a ruptured high pressure hose, or leaking from a loose flange or fitting could find its way to a source of ignition.
• Belly Pan - The belly pan can accumulate not only leaking fuel from the vehicle, but external debris as well. Because of its unique location, a fire starting in the belly pan could quickly engulf the entire vehicle.
• Hydraulic/Fuel Pumps - Because of the high pressures involved with these pumps, fluid spraying from a leaking pump could find its’ way to a heat source and cause ignition.
