Suppression for the machine, and standby gear for the site.

Our technicians are authorised and trained on the systems we supply, and we are a supplier of KV LITE foams. Every system is engineered for the machine it goes on and meets AS 5062:2022.

Mobile plant fire suppression

Foam systems for haul trucks, dozers, loaders, excavators and any other diesel machine. Stainless cylinders from 20 to 120 litres, detection through the engine bay, and an alarm panel that stays live while the machine is parked.

Custom designed systems

Designed by an Australian engineering team for your machine or your fleet, with detailed spec drawings.

Mobile CAFS units

The EFS compressed-air foam unit for emergency response: 120 litres, a 30 metre hose, and it keeps the vapour down after a fuel spill.

Extinguishers

STINGER foam extinguishers on a rough-ground trolley in 45, 60 and 90 litres, and a 9 litre hand-held unit.

KV LITE foams

Fluorine-free firefighting foams, environmentally approved for use in Australia.

Installed, supplied as a kit, or serviced.

  • Designed

    Engineered to fit any machine with a diesel or turbo diesel engine, and custom designed with detailed spec drawings when the machine calls for it.

  • Installed

    Our qualified team fits on site or locally, whichever suits the job and the machine.

  • Kit form

    If your own fitters are doing the install, we supply the system as a kit.

  • Serviced

    Servicing, so the system works on the day it has to.

What goes on the machine.

A system is laid out for the machine it protects: cylinders where they can be reached, nozzles over the fire risk, detection routed past the hot spots, and a manual release the operator can hit from the ground.

Emergency service and trade experience behind every system.

Our founders bring 25+ years in the emergency service sector, across search and rescue, fire and rescue, and aviation fire and rescue. They also have extensive backgrounds in the trades, so they understand what it takes to keep machines and equipment moving. Our qualified fitters and engineers install and service every system, backed by Australian engineering.

  • Qualified team

    Qualified fitters and engineers, led by founders with technician, emergency response and rescue qualifications.

  • Authorised technicians

    Authorised and trained on the systems we supply, and a supplier of KV LITE foams.

  • On site, Australia wide

    We fit on site anywhere in Australia, and overseas when the job calls for it, so the machine is fitted where it works.
