ALLMAND'S EMERGENCY POWER LIGHT TOWER

Designed for nighttime operations, the EPL 20W Emergency Power Light Tower provides high light output in a portable design. Powered by a 43.1-hp Isuzu diesel engine, the unit features the exclusive super-high output lighting system. Equipped with four 1,000-watt metal halide fixtures, the unit offers a standard light output of 440,000 lumens

The unit also incorporates a 500-watt quartz lamp for instant light on the scene. Two additional SHO fixtures may be added for a six-lamp unit and can be equipped with optional 1,250-watt fixtures, producing as much as 840,000 lumens.

Completely self-contained, the lighting unit leaves emergency vehicles free to return to the station or respond to other emergencies while keeping necessary lighting in place for clean-up and investigation. Its lightweight design makes it easy to maneuver for rapid deployment, and its compact size reduces work zone congestion and requires minimal bay space for storage.

The unit increases flexibility with a 60-Hz, single-phase 20-kw generator. This feature allows for additional electricity to power auxiliary equipment, including fans or additional light stands. Allmand Brothers Inc., www.allmandss.com

FIRE RESEARCH'S PRESSURE GOVERNORS

FRC has released the next generation of INControl pressure governors. The INControl 300 retains the existing push-button design for increasing and decreasing either the pressure or rpm settings. The INControl 400 uses a patented electronic control knob to simplify adjustments, and the knob is easy to operate with a gloved hand. Although it resembles a traditional vernier throttle, it uses all state-of-the-art technology.

Both new INControls connect to the engine systems via the J1939 databus. Other added feature on the new INControl include a digital message display that shows operation settings, warnings, and fault messages, a menu button used to access and display stored data, and for additional clarity the new InControl automatically adjusts the brightness of the display LEDs for daytime or nighttime operation.

RAYDAN'S AIR LINK SUSPENSION

The Air Link is the suspension of choice for tandem-axle fire and rescue vehicles. This combination of air spring and walking beam delivers everything you look for in a severe service suspension — high roll stability, low maintenance, reduced equipment damage and a smooth ride.

The Air Link not only meets, but exceeds industry requirements for vocational suspension applications. It has proven to reduce damage to chassis and mounted equipment, reduce vibrations; increase tire life; extend suspension life; extend bushing life; is easy to service; and reduces downtime.

Terex, Link Belt, Tadano/Faun and Grove Cranes; Spartan, Sutphen, Smeal, Ferrara, Pierce, KME; Mack and International trucks, are just a few companies that have benefited from the unique features offered by this suspension. The Air Link has the highest roll stability of any air suspension. It's three times more stable than any other vocational air suspension and is equal in stability to a conventional spring pack. With this roll stability also comes a smooth ride comparable to any other highway type air ride. The Air Link proves four times smoother than a conventional spring pack, and 10 times smoother than a rubber block. Raydan Manufacturing, www.raydanmfg.com

SMEAL'S HYDRAULIC HOSE BED COVER

Add another level of safety and convenience to your pumper with this hydraulic hose bed cover. The hose bed storage area is covered with two aluminum treadplate doors, which are hinged along the full outside length with stainless-steel piano hinges. The doors have an J-inch aluminum inner panel and are power-operated with a self-contained hydraulic system that smoothly opens and closes the doors one at a time. The cylinders lower into a compartment separate from the stored hose to ensure unobstructed hose deployment operations. The doors stay firmly closed in road-ready position until the operator applies the momentary switch, which is located at the rear of the truck, allowing the operator to view the doors while operating the mechanism from ground level. When open, the doors are secure and can provide support during hose reloading.

The power unit is operable only when the parking brake is applied. The doors are connected to the truck's open-door warning system. An audible alarm sounds when door movement begins. The cylinder pins attached to the doors are removable in the event of a mechanical or electrical failure. Smeal Fire Apparatus, www.smeal.com

SUTPHEN'S MID-MOUNT PLATFORM

The SPH 100 is the most recent addition to Sutphen's extensive line of mid-mount aerial platforms. Always a leader in aerial-platform technology, Sutphen engineered the SPH 100 to have a shorter, more maneuverable wheelbase providing a tighter turning radius and a five-section box boom aerial ladder for a more compact aerial design. These improvements plus the already long list of benefits of a Sutphen mid-mount aerial platform make the SPH 100 the best selling aerial platform in the business. The aerial is Sutphen's signature box boom with huck-bolted aluminum design for strength and stability. Constructing the aerial with aluminum allows for a lighter overall weight and the box boom design allows for a totally enclosed and protected aerial waterway. The SPH 100 also features an all stainless-steel body and substructure with ladder storage enclosed at the rear of the apparatus below the aerial. The apparatus includes, as standard, a 1,500-gpm Hale pump, 300-gallon water tank and dual-platform turrets. Also available in truck company configuration, the SPH 100 can carry over 200 feet of ground ladders. Sutphen, www.sutphen.com

TFT'S DUAL-PRESSURE NOZZLES

TFT's dual-pressure automatic nozzles are better than smooth-bores. More and more firefighters are using America's toughest laboratories to prove that TFT's Mid-Force, Dual-Force or Max-Force models can automatically deliver quality streams anytime and everytime. Compare streams side by side and see for yourself. Not only will TFT's dual pressure be at least equal and generally better than any smooth bore, but with dual-pressure nozzles you'll automatically get maximum reach at high pressure (flows up to 500 gpm) or maximum flow in low pressure (55- and 45-psi low-pressure versions). And you'll automatically fall in love with less nozzle reaction, perfect streams even when gated, and a full-fill fog pattern for protection or hydraulic ventilation. They flush without shutting down, and all carry TFT's five-year product warranty. Task Force Tips, www.tft.com
