If you're looking for specialist firefighting equipment, then you've certainly come to the right place. QTAC is a leading supplier of bespoke fire truck equipment and truck skids, and we take great pride in the quality of our firefighting equipment and key supplies. Our team has a wealth of experience in the firefighting industry, so you can be sure that you're getting the best possible equipment when you buy from us. In this article, we want to walk you through the different types of firefighting equipment we supply and how we can help you be better prepared when it comes to controlling a blaze.
A fire truck skid is a compact, self-contained unit that can be easily attached to a fire truck and provide additional resources for fighting fires. One of the key services we offer at QTAC is the design, development, and construction of fire truck skids. These are custom-built, modular units that can be easily attached to the back of a fire truck, providing additional equipment and resources for firefighters on the ground. Each skid is carefully constructed using top-quality materials, ensuring maximum durability and performance.
Along with truck skids; we also offer UTV skids for use in off-road firefighting. These skids can be easily attached to a UTV (utility terrain vehicle), allowing for rapid response to fires in hard-to-reach or rough terrain areas. Our UTV skids are designed with portability and effectiveness in mind, making them the perfect addition to any off-road firefighting. Our UTV skids can be supplied to firefighting departments as well as individuals who are concerned about fire safety and the increasing risk of forest fires.
When trying to tackle smaller fires, a handheld CAFS (Compressed Air Foam System) unit can be an effective addition to a firefighter's toolkit. At QTAC, we supply CAFS units that can easily be attached to a fire truck or carried by hand. These units allow for greater control and accuracy in extinguishing smaller fires, and the foam created by the system helps prevent the fire from reigniting.
In addition to CAFS units, we also supply a range of essential firefighting supplies such as hoses, nozzles, and foam concentrate. No matter what type of firefighting equipment or supplies you may need, QTAC is here to help.
For areas at high risk of wildfires, a quick-attack fire truck can be a crucial asset for rapid response and containing the blaze before it has a chance to spread. At QTAC, we offer quick-attack fire trucks that are custom-built to meet the specific needs and requirements of our clients. These highly specialized vehicles have the capability to reach the scene of a fire quickly and effectively, making them an invaluable tool in preventing major wildfires.
