The Fire Suppression Tanker Assembly is designed for mounting onto the 200 Series FMC and 2000 Series KMC "Soft Track" Vehicles. The machine is designed to assist in all types of Forest Fire applications from initial attack to mop-up. The uniqueness of the unit will prove itself with its 1100 imperial gallon (1300 US gallon) tank and the ability to work on very severe slopes up to 60% or on wet/boggy soils. This unit goes where other conventional machinery cannot. With four rear mounted, lay flat hose outlets and a forward mounted outlet to allow the operator to extinguish spot fires while traveling, makes for a very effective Fire Fighting Unit. "FIRE TRACKER" is also equipped with a foam application system to give the machine far more impact when working in the field.
Equipped with a separate load pump that can load the "FIRE TRACKER" in 5 minutes, there is no job on the fire line that we cannot help but make easier and more efficient. With our travel speeds of up to 15 miles an hour we can get anywhere you need to in a very short time, whether you are fighting a fire or using the unit as a water transfer machine.
The fabricated, steel tank holds 1100 imperial gallons (1300 U.S. gallons) and is designed to sit flat on the rear deck which, in turn, produces a very low center of gravity. Two (2) storage compartments are mounted lengthwise on the tank top to carry extra hoses, tools, and materials.

Watching this video make me wonder why there aren't more of these employed fighting fires. They make total sense to me. I guess the only modification would be a bigger water tank. Well done, gentlemen. Well done.

You can use the existing water pump to make a Venturi water pump thus eliminating my previous pto pump idea. I can do this all day

Excellent Ideas! With some slight modifications, these are both options we could provide.

Put a pto driven pump on it, and a long metal tail it can lay in the water eliminating parts like the second engine

An Aussie style self protection mister system for possible burn overs and you would have a king of the fireline.

Can we get video and descriptions of this machine that are not 20 years old? It would be nice to see a new modern machine.

What is the approximate cost of one of these? And how many hours do you usually get out of the tracks?

We offer these machines at a variety of price points, mainly being in the $125,000 - $300,000 range. Every machine is custom built so we have quite a bit of flexibility depending on the jobsite requirements. After a few thousand hours you might notice some wear on the track bushings, but it is quite efficient to have individual pads replaced and rebushed if necessary. The pads themselves are made from a manganese alloy and will work harden substantially, and should last just as long if not longer then any tracked equipment you may be used to.

There are definitely advantages with the torsion bar/track system. Who makes your track shoe castings? Have you used forgings?

Our foundry is located in calgary. We have tried just about every manufacturing process we can think of for the shoes.

How much diesel fuel does this go through in an hour?
@kmckootrac1653
@kmckootrac1653 3 жыл бұрын
Fuel consumption can vary quite a bit from one power plant to another, as well as with the type of work being done. We find that our most popular engine, the 5.9 Cummins, often uses about 4.5 gallons of fuel per hour when working quite heavily.
