Its corrosion-resistant skid-mounted design ensures durability in harsh conditions, making it ideal for use in refineries, chemical plants, or airport fire response scenarios.
This compact yet powerful unit features a high-performance hose and nozzle system for precise application, ensuring quick extinguishing of flames while minimizing collateral damage. The skid configuration allows for easy integration onto trucks, trailers, or stationary platforms, providing flexibility and mobility for emergency response teams. With its reliable performance and user-friendly design, the 500lb Purple K™ skid unit is an essential asset for environments where fire safety is critical.
