Custom and proven designs, backed by Australian engineering and quality.

Fire suppression systems for any machine with a diesel engine, designed, supplied and installed by our team.

About FOAMTEC Fire Suppression Australia

Our systems protect machines with a diesel or turbo diesel engine: haul trucks, dozers, loaders and excavators on mine sites, and fleets in any other industry.

Our qualified team of fitters and engineers installs and services every system, backed by Australian engineering and built to AS 5062:2022.

Our founders: 25+ years in the emergency service sector.

FOAMTEC was founded by Ryan and Matt, who hold technician qualifications along with emergency response and rescue qualifications. Their experience spans three parts of the sector. Both also have extensive backgrounds in the trades, so they understand what it takes to keep machines and equipment moving.

  • Search and rescue
  • Fire and rescue
  • Aviation fire and rescue

Fitted on site, anywhere in Australia.

The work goes where the machines are: anywhere in Australia, and overseas when the job calls for it.

We are based in the Shoalhaven, where our founders have lived most of their lives.
