What Are Fire Fighting Skid Units?

Fire Fighting Skid Units are portable, self contained firefighting systems mounted on a galvanised steel skid frame. They are designed to be easily transported and mounted on trailers, utes or trucks offering flexibility and mobility during fire response. These units are perfect for large properties and farms that require a dependable water supply for firefighting in remote areas.

How to Choose the Right Fire Fighting Skid Unit

Selecting the right fire fighting skid unit depends on several factors, including your property size, vehicle compatibility, and the level of bushfire risk you face.

• Property Size: For smaller properties, a 500 litre to 1,000 litre unit is typically sufficient. However, larger properties will benefit from the increased water capacity of 1,200 litre to 8,000 litre units.
• Vehicle Compatibility: Check that your ute, trailer or truck can handle the weight of a full tank. A 500 litre to 1000 litre skid unit is ideal for utes and trailers, while larger units may require a truck or a heavy duty trailer for safe transport.
• Pump Power: In high risk fire areas, look for units with high pressure pumps that can deliver water efficiently over long distances. Bushfire Store’s units come with powerful Honda or Yanmar pumps, ensuring effective fire suppression.
