Kesla is launching a trailer concept with fire-extinguishing features. The sales of this new product will start immediately. The fire-extinguishing equipment can be used with all bigger agricultural tractors. The new product consists of a Kesla multiuse trailer, a Kesla loader and a modern, special plastic made water tank with volume of 10 m3 plus all the needed fire-fighting implements. The fire-extinguishing trailer is equipped with its own hydraulics and is easy to use with any big agricultural tractor.
The package can be driven to the fire-site – there is no need for a separate carrier platform. When filling the water tank, high road speed is beneficial as transfer to the filling site might not be right next to the fire-site. The Kesla fire-extinguishing unit has two water cannons – one on the loader boom and another in the rear part of the trailer. The loader boom mounted cannon can shoot up to the 30 m (98 ft) and can be steered easily and precisely to the fire. Thanks to the long outreach of the loader, the water tank can be filled not only from waterpipes but also from natural water sources like lakes, rivers and bigger ditches. This is a great plus when working far from water pipelines.
The fire-extinguisher unit is a separate module, and it can easily be detached from the trailer. After detaching the unit, the stakes can be put back onto the trailer and the trailer can be used in the meanwhile for normal forestry drive. The product is now production ready. The sales are starting immediately and the first deliveries from factory are expected in February 2022. Source
