What are the features of TTi fire fighting trailer?
TTi’s fire trailers range from 800 through to 3000 litres, and are available in single or dual axle, as well as braked or unbraked. We can tailor our fire fighting solutions to suit your specific needs, with a range of optional accessories and features.

Combined with ultra-reliable Honda or Yanmar engines and Davey pumps, TTi’s fire fighting trailers are a unit you can rely on to get the job done.
What is a mine-spec fire trailer or mine-spec water trailer, and how is it different to a fire fighting trailer?
A mine-spec water cartage trailer is a type of water trailer that is specifically built for mining work. It is often used in day-to-day mining operations to transport water, help with dust suppression, equipment cooling and fire control. While a fire fighting trailer can serve the same purpose, a mine-spec fire trailer will have been built to withstand the specific conditions of mining operations and relevant safety, so will be better equipped to deal with rough terrain or close proximity to hazardous materials.
Does TTi stock mine-spec water cartage and mine-spec fire trailers?
We do! TTi fire fighting trailers in a range of sizes are also available as mine-spec fire trailers. To find out which models have a mine-spec water trailer version, contact our team today.
How much water can a fire fighting trailer carry?
We have fire fighting trailers in a range of sizes at TTi. You’ll find tanks that hold as much as 3000 L of water for busy sites and larger properties. There is also a smaller 800 L model that will provide crucial protection for smaller properties.
If you are interested in purchasing a mine-spec water trailer, these models are available in the same sizes as our standard fire fighting trailers.
How far can a multi-purpose fire fighting trailer spray water?
This can vary depending on the water pressure of your fire fighting trailer and the nozzle type you’re using. Generally, our fire fighting trailer equipment can spray water between 30 to 40 metres away effectively. To ensure you’re using the right nozzle with your tank to get the best distance possible, get in touch with our team for more information.
What types of fires can a multi-purpose fire fighting trailer effectively combat?
Our multi-purpose fire fighting trailers are used to combat many types of fires, including grass and brush fires, structural fires and small industrial fires. When it comes to industrial fires, you may want to consider researching industry-specific fire fighting trailers and equipment, such as mine-spec water trailers, which have been designed specifically to be used in mining operations for water cartage and fire control. Speak to one of our team today to find out more about what types of fires and industries our fire fighting trailer can be used in.
Can multi-purpose fire fighting trailers be easily transported and deployed in different locations?
Absolutely. All the fire fighting trailers we stock at TTi are designed to be portable, with heavy-duty tanks mounted onto quality trailers to allow easy maneuverability around your work site. This includes our mine-spec water trailers, used across mining sites of varying sizes.
What safety features are included in a multi-purpose firefighting trailer to protect firefighters during operations?
Some of the safety features of our fire fighting trailers include a LiquidLocker™ baffle system, a heavy-duty hose reel, LED combination lights on the trailer and a rear pump plate for operator safety. We’ve made sure that as well as these safety features, our trailers have been tried and tested for tough conditions so that you can rely on them in emergency situations.
How do you refill the water tanks of multi-purpose firefighting trailers during extended firefighting operations?
The water tanks can be refilled using external water sources such as hydrants, natural water bodies, or water tanker trucks. You can refill out of any water source via the included suction fill kit – an advantage when you’re out in the field. It is also easy to fill the tank directly through the lid.
Is it possible to customise multi-purpose firefighting trailers to accommodate different equipment and tools?
All our fire fighting trailers are built to be used in a range of fire fighting operations. However, some of our trailers are also available in versions specifically created for different industries, such as our range of mine-spec fire and water trailers. Speak to one of our team today to find out if your choice of tank is also available as a mine-spec water trailer.
What kind of maintenance and servicing is required for a fire fighting trailer?
To ensure longevity and optimal performance, regular maintenance and servicing is vital for your fire fighting trailer. This includes checking for leaks, testing hoses and pumps, inspecting nozzles and making sure everything is clean and in good working order. You’ll find detailed maintenance guidelines when you purchase your fire fighting trailer or your mine-spec water cartage trailer.
What firefighting scenarios can I use a fire fighting trailer in?
You can use TTi fire fighting trailers in a range of fire control scenarios, as they have been designed to adapt to many different environments, giving them greater flexibility when used by fire fighters or the public alike. They can be used in urban scenarios and rural scenarios. Some trailers are made to fit specific fire fighting scenarios in different industries, such as the mine-spec fire trailer, made to be used in mining operations for fire control.
