4+ hour charging of battery tools cannot only be done at the station, and especially not off truck, without risking out of service equipment during next call.

Trucks have become mobile charging stations, which presents a new challenge to OEM’s, departments and firefighters

Battery charging must occur continuously, whenever tool is not in use—without removing it from the compartment.

Fire departments are rapidly adopting battery powered tools, as these now mainstream power tools provide an unprecedented level of convenience, performance and reliability. But with the great benefits these new generation of tools provide, there are also new challenges to consider in battery power management, to insure the safe and reliable operation of the equipment and the firefighter.

The evolution of the truck tool compartment – Electrical systems have not kept pace

Innovative, Powerful & Industrial Grade Power Systems

• Truck compartments can no longer be thought of as simple mobile toolboxes.
• Successful OEMs consider how tools are evolving, and the truck’s role in supporting them.
• Battery power tools are now the norm.
• Unfortunately, on-board charging is not…

Less time at idle

Fire apparatus can idle for a long time on a call. Cutting that idle time saves fuel, lowers emissions and toxic exposure, and reduces maintenance.

• Lower emissions and toxic exposure
• Less chassis emissions while the electrical system carries the load
• Less maintenance
• Longer apparatus life
• Better health and safety for firefighters and the public
