Emergency Apparatus

Apparatus and Battery Compartment Solutions

Battery operated tools require unique electrical systems for peak readiness, highest performance & safest operation

Applications

  • Command Vehicle
  • Ambulance
  • Pumpers
  • Rescues
  • Mobile Command Centers
  • Heavy Demand apparatus
  • At station
  • En route
  • On scene
  • eturning home
  • 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…

    OctoPower 3 kW zero emission | silent power

    A complete energy system comprising of the best components minus the fuss and hassle:

    the All-In-One OctoPower.

    Environment & Firefighter Friendly

    Fire apparatus idle on average of up to 45 minutes per mission call. Costing over $2,600/year per vehicle, just in fuel costs!

    Key benefits of reducing idling on fire apparatus include:

    • Saving fuel costs
    • Lowering emissions and toxic exposure
    • Zero chassis emissions, operating under
      lithium-ion power
    • Reduction of maintenance costs
    • Extending apparatus life
    • Improved health, safety of firefighters & public
