Fire-fighting road-rail vehicles
In adverse weather situations such as fires, floods, catastrophes… this is where the performance of an off-road vehicle becomes critical. That’s why, thanks to its highly mobile performance, the UROMAC T-RAIL FF series is able to go where it’s needed, regardless of the difficulty.
The T-RAIL FF is a road rail self-propelled vehicle for alternative use on railway and road and designed to minimize disruption of rail traffic.
It is based on a road rigid vehicle fitted with a railway guiding system device for running on railway tracks. It can be put on track and derailed by its own means in high safety conditions.
The T-RAIL FF is fitted with bodywork for technical facilities such as water pump, water reservoirs, and technical material for firefighting.
The vehicle can be used on road in two-wheel drive configuration. On railway tracks, it fully complies with the dimensions of the UIC loading gauge.
The contribution of military units in the fight against fire has required the development of firefighting units, usually for civilian use in fire brigades, more suited to military requirements and applications. They are vehicles capable of working very close to the fire.
In cooperation with the main national and international bodybuilders of the industry, a multitude of solutions have been configured adapting cisterns, motor pumps, and equipment to the different requirements.
The aim is to achieve a balance between safety for personnel, manoeuvrability in complex terrain under extreme climatic conditions, and extinguishing capacity with maximum space for equipment. Other units must be adapted to other emergency scenarios as military, forestry, airports or railway.
T-RAIL FF is equipped with total traction, low centre of gravity, thermal protection systems and anti-roll bars to deal with very adverse working conditions: very high temperatures, unstable terrain, steep slopes, rocks and extreme weather conditions. It can also get the water from other sources such as a fire hydrant, a tanker truck, a lake or a swimming pool.
