Slip on Fire Protection
Australian Pump’s new heavy duty 600 litre
Firebuster self contained fire protection kit
provides an easy ‘slip on’ fit for trucks, trailers
or utilities. The Firebuster is a unique
galvanised skid mounted fire fighting kit that
enables councils, fire fighting authorities and
farmers to turn any flat deck vehicle into a
fire protection unit in a matter of minutes.
The heart of the system is the Aussie Fire
Chief, widely regarded as the world’s best
self priming lightweight fire pump. The Chief
is the flagship of the Aussie Pump self priming
fire pump line, and is built to strict
ISO9001 quality standards.
The pump delivers a whopping 75 metre head, and self primes from depths as low as 7.6
metres. It comes with a wide range of unique features including a 7.5” diameter heavy
duty 1 piece impeller that delivers more water at high pressure than other pumps.
The big bellied body with 2” detachable suction port is standard. The outlet manifold
consists of a flanged 3 way head that enables the operator the choice of using either 2 X
1” outlets, or 1 X 1½“ outlet. This means the machine can either be operated with 2 X 1”
hoses and nozzles for putting out spot fires, or can be used with bigger hose and nozzle
for more serious fire protection duties.
The Fire Chief comes with a genuine Japanese Honda engine in it’s standard configuration,
or with Yanmar or Kubota air cooled diesel engine drives.
The Aussie Firebuster skid mount comes with a heavy duty polypropylene 600 litre tank
with galvanised hose reel and 20 metres of high pressure hose with fire fighting nozzle.
A suction hose with suction strainer is also included to enable the pump to draw water
from dams, streams or tanks.
The Aussie Firebuster incorporates the “Aussie Smart Valve” system that enables the
operator to quickly change from pumping water from the tank to drafting water from
creeks or dams. This feature dramatically cuts tank re filling times, a real benefit in extreme
conditions. The “Smart Valve” system is a unique Aussie feature developed as a
result of customer input.
The galvanised steel skid come complete with integrated forklift type ports. This facility
makes mounting and demounting from the prime mover safe, quick and easy.
