KIMTEK Expands Product Line

KIMTEK CORP, headquartered in Westmore, Vt., expanded its line with two new products, the FIRELITE Transport Pacer skid unit for firefighting and rescue operations and the Emergency Utility Vehicle (EUV), which is built on a Polaris Ranger chassis.

KIMTEK’s FIRELITE Transport Pacer is designed to fit into many makes and models of 4x4 and 6x6 off-road utility vehicles. It has a 75-gallon integrated polypropylene tank, a 5.5 hp centrifugal pump, 20 feet of 2-inch hard suction with strainer and 125 feet of 1.5-inch forestry hose and nozzle. It has a built in disconnect feature that allows the pump to be separated from the main skid unit should the need arise, according to the maker.

Optional Darley Davey high-pressure pumps and Hannay Reel hose reels are available.

All FIRELITE units are made with a storage compartment and a rescue area on top of the unit with two 48 inch long grab rails so a rescue basket or a long board can be secured to the unit making them suitable for wildland fire operations and rescue functions.

KIMTEK Corp. has introduced an off-road firefighting and rescue vehicle. It is called the Emergency Utility Vehicle (EUV) and is based on a Polaris Ranger chassis. The unit can be equipped with a rescue and medical skid unit or with skid unit with firefighting capabilities including a 75-gallon tank and a 5.5 hp centrifugal pump.
