Firefighting
with the iron horse
During and especially after a forest fire, many people work extremely hard to handle hoses, pumps and other equipment, often in difficult terrain. Several local fire departments have found that the Iron Horse can be used for a variety of firefighting tasks. As a preventative measure, an Iron Horse with the right accessories can also be used by, for example, a forestry company when operating larger machinery in drier weather.
One machine - MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS
Essentially, the Iron Horse is an all-terrain tool carrier that can be equipped with a range of accessories and adaptations, creating the opportunity to leverage a basic investment for a variety of uses. In firefighting, there is a strong need for a mobile piece of equipment that can be quickly reconfigured for the situation at hand
Transport of high-pressure portable fire pumps
With the custom-made off-road trailer, one person is enough to set up heavy portable pumps.
Hose handling
with hose reel
The hydraulic hose reel makes it quick and easy to retrieve large quantities of hose. Then pack the hose directly into the cassettes and you're ready to go again.
Remote controlled

Accessory lift
The accessory lift is equipped with float position, third function and with an Avant/MultiOne mount. It is also possible to mount a universal mount.
Platform cart
The all-terrain trailer can be equipped with a response platform to be able to carry what is normally needed in, for example wildfires.
Loading platform
Cargo space
The iron horse platform allows large volume and weight to be loaded directly onto the machine.
Mobile ventilators
Flue gas ventilation
Iron horse equipped with L105 ventilation unit with a capacity of up to 600 000 m³/h. B.S. Belüftungs-GmbH in Germany manufactures and installs the units on the Iron Horse to better access complex residential and industrial buildings.
Standard platform for forest plants
Plantflak
The large planter is equipped with a hydraulic hose reel to assist with both laying and retrieving hose in the forest.
Load changer with rapid and safe operation.
In a simple way, and without heavy lifting. With the cargo gear system, you can quickly pick up and drive out pre-packed modules with e.g. aprons, safety and fire equipment, tools etc.
Fire hose system
The iron horse is easily equipped with a 50 mm towing ball and can then move smaller off-road wagons in the most demanding terrain. The hose system (Quickbag/SVEBAB) shown in the picture holds 1100m of 42/38 and 900m of 25mm hose. With the Iron Horse, you can lay out that distance in just under 20 minutes.
Trailer for heavy loads
Carriage for heavy loads
The trailer is easily adapted for the transport of various types of motorised sprayers (KL3). The wide wheelbase, together with the specially adapted bogie, allows the vehicle to follow the Iron Horse unhindered through the terrain with a 1000 kg load.

The iron horse can be used to launch the rescue boat at lakes where the surrounding terrain makes it impossible for ordinary wheeled vehicles to reach.
