Description

These are heavy duty, Australia designed, fire fighting tank/pump/reel/skid packages which offer exceptional value for money. Option of a genuine Honda 4 stroke engine or a KIPOR Diesel Engine powered high pressure pump, hose reel and quality skid. The kits are ideal for installation in your ute or trailer and can be quickly deployed if your house or property is at risk of bush fire. These kits are also idea for stock feed water replenishment.

Ute Water Tanks Pods Packs Fire Fighting

Heavy Duty Water Ute Packs with Honda Pump or Diesel Engine

The Paddock fire fighting ute kits are designed for temporary or permanent mounting in your ute or trailer and can be used to fight fires or deliver water to your stock.

Having the equipment to fight fires or support back burning operations is essential for many property owners. These kits deliver a complete solution made from quality components offering exceptional value for money. 

The kit is supplied complete with:

  • 400L Tank
  • Honda Petrol 4-Stroke High Pressure Water Pump or diesel engine alternative
  • 30m hose reel
  • Firefighting Spray nozzle
  • Reinforced suction hose with quick camlock connections
  • Corrosion resistant steel mounting skid
Portable Fire Fighting Tank Skid Features:
  • Thicker tank walls with more raw material in the mould process
  • UV stable materials offer long service life
  • Tough poly construction eliminates seams, welds, cracking and corrosion
  • Genuine Honda 4 stroke engine driven pump
  • Hose reel makes hose storage and deployment a breeze
  • Corrosion resistant skid makes for a strong design
  • 3 yr warranty on tanks

Having your pump and reel mounted to a steel skid makes for a heavier duty design when compared to mounting directly to the poly tank. This makes these skids suited to the harsh Australian outback where other equipment tends to rattle itself to pieces.

The Paddock Difference

Honda GX Engine Pumps and Quality Components

Mounted to the skid is a quality Honda engine driven water pump or a KIPOR diesel engine equivalent. This pump is a high pressure model suited to firefighting applications meaning it delivers greater discharge pressures when compared to ordinary transfer pumps. Users can expect performance and reliability. 

The skid has been designed with a 3m reinforced suction hose which can be removed from the tank if water is to be drawn from a nearby tank. The pump inlet is also supplied with quick cam lock connections meaning users can swap the suction hose to a different location if they wish. An optional extra is to order a longer suction hose allowing the pump set to draw directly from a dam or similar water source. The onboard pump can then be used to fill the onboard tank which is a handy feature.

Roto Moulded Tanks

These tanks are roto-moulded from high quality UV stabilised plastics to deliver a seamless and virtually leak proof storage solution. When designing plastic tanks many companies cut corners and leave out the expensive ingredients which make the plastic resistant to UV attack. The Paddock tanks have UV blockers and carbon black additives that give a high UV resistance. These tanks also use more raw material to deliver thicker walls and more strength and resistance to wear and tear and whilst this makes the tanks a little heavier, it's well worth it for the benefits.

Hose Reel and Nozzle

Included is a hose reel which neatly stores and protects 30m of 3/4" hose. The reel allows for fast deployment in the case of an emergency. The hose reel includes a manual handle so it's simple to clean up once done.

Fitted to the hose is a adjustable nozzle which is critical for successful fire fighting.

Optional Extra:

We can supply additional suction hose and fittings that allow users to switch the pump suction connection. This can be handy if you plan to use the onboard pump to fill the tank drawing from a water source such as a dam. The pump has a maximum suction lift of 7m vertically meaning in many cases if you can park next to a dam the pump will prime.
