Darley’s ODIN Diesel Mongoose 70/35

Finally, economically diesel-powered CAFS. Darley’s Odin Division has introduced a diesel version of its already popular Mongoose. While Darley reduced costs, we did not skimp on quality. The unit has the true Odin look and feel. This economical CAFS features a 26.5-hp diesel powered, watercooled, Briggs industrial engine. This engine is time proven in the fire industry. The pump is the Darley 2BE with Fast Foam Injection system and 40-cfm screw compressor. In addition to hitting a new lower price point, an emphasis on easy to run was maintained, with the least amount of controls on the panel to operate. This system is rated at the NFPA 125-psi simultaneous flow — adequate for structural use to hold pressures at safe levels. Pressure is also automatically balanced with the Darley auto balance valve system, the same as the larger systems Darley builds. Compare our CAF system to the others in this price range. We think you will find it understandable, easy to operate and affordable. www.odinfoam.com

Pierce's Ultimate Configuration

The Pierce Ultimate Configuration (PUC) is among the most successful new products in Pierce Manufacturing history. It dramatically alters the way the fire service configures apparatus by removing the bulky pumphouse without compromising firefighting capabilities. This industry-changing multi-purpose vehicle is easier to use, operate safely, service and maneuver.

The PUC’s patented design frees space while improving function. With a wheelbase as short as 172-inches for improved maneuverability, the PUC also provides up to 500 cubic-feet of storage. Among the many other benefits delivered by the PUC are the following:

• Two-step/single touch ease. A simple two-step pump operation and “single touch” water-foam-CAFS selection means the firefighting system is up and functional before the operator exits the cab.
• Tilt and access efficiency. Reduced downtime and maintenance costs by tilting the cab and removing the crosslay trays. The PUC provides easy and full access to all plumbing and pump components. Maintenance people spend less time getting to the plumbing and parts.
• Safety. With the pump operator positioned alongside the hose connections instead of over them — and with crosslays and hosebeds at chest height — the PUC boasts an impressive list of safety features. www.piercemfg.com

Rosenbauer’s T-Rex Aerial

Looking for unequaled aerial performance and maneuverability? Take a look at the Rosenbauer T-Rex. By stowing the aerial basket in the middle of the apparatus, the T-Rex will maneuver around town like a big pumper. Utilizing a CAN-Bus electrical system, aerial outriggers can be extended out as far as space will allow and the aerial operations system will keep the platform within the safe operational envelope. Aerial operations are now possible in areas that once were off limits such as below grade and up and over obstacles. Platform and body protection is standard as is features like auto stowing that automatically retracts the aerial into the transport position when the job is over. Available in quint or truck configurations, the Rosenbauer T-Rex will become the more utilized and important piece of equipment in your fleet. www.rosenbaueramerica.com

TFT’s Oasis Hydrant Assist Valve

TFT’s Oasis Hydrant Assist Valve is a versatile valve that can be used as a hydrant booster, as a gated wye, or for inline pumping during relay operations. In hydrant boosting operation, the valve is first connected to the hydrant and to the intake supply line on the first pumper. Inlet and outlet supply lines on a boost pumper are then connected to the valve to draw water directly from the hydrant connection and increase pressure/flow to the first pumper. A clapper valve with position indicator provides uninterrupted water flow to the fire when transitioning to boost mode, and in the event of boost pump failure. Two unique valve position indicators tell the operator if the ball and clapper valves are open or closed. Designed for use with 3.5, 4, 4.5 or 5 inch (89, 100, 115 or 125 mm) hose. Stainless steel half ball valve provides corrosion protection. Maximum operating pressure is 250 psi (17 bar). Meets 900 psi (62 bar) hydrostatic strength test. The aluminum castings are hardcoat-anodized inside and out, and TFT powder-coat finished on the outside. www.tft.com
