The Water Rescue Fire Apparatus FAW offers quick response with enough water to control most rural fires. In addition to capacity, it also offers lighting packages for night and emergency use, a top mounted remote control water monitor, and water cannon. All of our tanks are lined with interior protective coating, an added feature that helps extend the water tank’s duration against deterioration.
Technical Specification
-
Our designers can create a CAD design that will exploit the volume and shape available on your vehicle; the components are then CNC cut on modern equipment for exact fit and finish. All welds on your finished fire truck water tank are smooth, laboratory quality, and produced to the German DVS standard.
-
Our Water Rescue Fire Apparatus FAW are recognized as far superior to off-the-shelf molded tanks due to consistent wall thickness and overall heavier/robust construction. This greatly reduces road hazard or accidental penetration risk. Request a quote for your very own custom plastic water tank for your truck today.
