Why choose a TTi Slip-On Fire Fighting Unit?
You’ve come to the right place if you are looking for a high-quality and reliable fire fighting tank. Our range of slip-on fire fighting units is the best in the business. It is set up with a motor, water pump, water tank, hose reel and an adjustable nozzle for different spray patterns, allowing you to respond quickly and efficiently to fires on your property.
They feature a low-profile design, keeping the centre of gravity as low as possible. To complement this, our LiquidLocker™ baffling system eliminates water surges within the tank. TTi’s slip-on fire fighting tank units are well thought out, with easy access to pull start the engine and access to the hose reel.
What is the difference between a fire fighting tank and a fire fighting truck?
A fire fighting truck is a vehicle fitted with a permanent water tank. Fire fighting trucks are great to have on hand if you know there will be a constant need for large quantities of water as the volume of water they hold is in the 10s of thousands.
A fire fighting tank will hold less water but will make up for this by being more portable, responsive and easy to transport. Slip-on fire fighting units can be easily mounted and dismounted from your truck, trailer or ute. They can hold between 220L to 1500L, and are most often found on properties used to fight ember attacks and smaller spot fires.
Can I use a slip-on fire fighting unit for other tasks?
Yes, you can! Portable or slip-on fire fighting tank units can be used the same way slip-on water carts or water trailers are used, such as
- Equipment wash down
- Watering plants and landscaping on large properties where water is scarce
- Cleaning outdoor areas
- As an emergency water supply for remote properties
What are the main features of a slip-on fire fighting tank?
At TTi, our fire fighting tank units have various features that make operation easier for you. TTi’s slip-on fire fighting tank units are made from UV-stabilised poly tanks and come with a high-quality hose reel and high-performance spray nozzle. They use genuine Honda engines and Davey pumps, which have been factory-tested before dispatch to ensure they arrive in perfect working order.
Our slip-on fire fighting tank units have a low-profile design, which increases the tank’s stability when mounted onto a truck or ute. Steel galvanised frames are also available, designed to soak up vibrations caused when used without putting pressure on the tank. Each portable fire fighting unit is also fitted with a LiquidLocker™ baffling system to stop the water inside the tank from surging while in operation.
The galvanised steel frame allows the tank to be forklifted from all four sides, making it easy to lift around and place on and off various vehicles.
Best of all – our fire–fighting tank units come with a 25-year tank warranty, which our clients consider cheap insurance! But mostly, it allows you the security of knowing that if something does go wrong with your tank, we’re there to help.
