Skid Units Details - OLD

National Fire Fighter offers an extensive range of skid units to anchor your firefighting arsenal. Mobile attack skid units give you everything you need to keep the flames under control in a compact, easily adjustable setup that can be mounted to nearly any vehicle or UTV.


Each unit is built and engineered with robust materials and quality workmanship to ensure reliable operation when you’re in the field. Our units require minimal maintenance, include a high-pressure, low-volume pump to conserve water, and are constructed with the highest quality components to ensure you’re ready when things get heated. We build top mounts, end mounts, hybrid mounts and ATV/UTV units to fit within your footprint. Don’t see what you’re looking for here? Call us to discuss your specific needs.

Skid units are equipped with:

  • 1/2” polypropylene tank baffled to NFPA specifications with stainless steel flanges, corners welded inside and out and 3” sight gauge level window. Top is fully removable for easy access.
  • Full-length platform constructed of 2” x 1/8” wall aluminum box tubing with bracing in appropriate spacing for the size of skid (End Mount and Hybrid Units)
  • Control Panel: flush mount liquid-filled pressure gauge 0-600 PSI, panel mounted by-pass valve, 50 amp circuit breaker, low pressure cut-off switch, panel lights
  • 2 Discharges - 1” to reel, 1-1/2” overboard with NH male threads and cap
  • 2 Suctions - 2” (tank to pump and NPSH auxiliary)
  • 1” pump to tank by-pass

Top Mount Skid Unit

All equipment is placed on top of the tank with top mount slip-ons. The layout is excellent for small slip-ons and keeps the hardware up in a confined space, safe from other items sharing the truck bed. A real space saver unit.

Typical Unit Equipment:

Tank:

  • ½” polypropylene tank baffled to NFPA specifications with corners welded inside and out and stainless steel flanges
  • Fully removable tank top for easy access
  • 3" wide site gauge level window
  • Decision Points: tank size, foam cell, mounting pad
  • Capacities from 50-1000 gallons
  • 3-year warranty

Control Panels: Brushed aluminum control panel. Standard enclosed panels have a 3" 0-600 PSI liquid filled gauge, 50 amp circuit breaker, low pressure cut out switch, primer valve, night operation light and rain overhang.

Pumps:

Choose from several high pressure pump options for longer spray and strength to push water up slopes

Plumbing:

  • Welded stainless steel plumbing
  • High-pressure hose for flexibility, durability and ease of repair in the field
  • Stainless steel flanges

Craftsmanship:

  • Expert design
  • Precision machining and welding
  • Quick turn-around

End Mount Skid Unit

With end-mount slip-ons the controls, pump and hose are placed at the rear of the vehicle. This type of layout is typical of large slip-ons where placing hardware on top of the tank would make the equipment difficult to reach.

Typical Unit Equipment:

Tank:

  • ½” polypropylene tank baffled to NFPA specifications with corners welded inside and out and stainless steel flanges
  • Fully removable tank top for easy access
  • 3" wide site gauge level window
  • Decision Points: tank size, foam cell, mounting pad
  • Capacities from 50-1000 gallons
  • 3-year warranty

Skid:

All aluminum for reduced weight to strength ratio - steel is available

Control Panels: Brushed aluminum control panel. Standard enclosed panels have a 3" 0-600 PSI liquid filled gauge, 50 amp circuit breaker, low pressure cut out switch, primer valve, night operation light and rain overhang.

Pumps:

Choose from several high pressure pump options for longer spray and strength to push water up slopes

Plumbing:

  • Welded stainless steel plumbing
  • High-pressure hose for flexibility, durability and ease of repair in the field
  • Stainless steel flanges

Craftsmanship:

  • Expert design
  • Precision machining and welding
  • Quick turn-around

Hybrid Skid Unit

Where height and space allow, your slip-on can place hardware both on top of the tank and at the end of the tank to make a layout that works best for your truck and needs. With the hose reel placed on top of the tank the hose can serve either side of the truck. Having the pump and controls placed at the end of the slip-on keeps these items within easy reach.

Typical Unit Equipment:

Tank:

  • ½” polypropylene tank baffled to NFPA specifications with corners welded inside and out and stainless steel flanges
  • Fully removable tank top for easy access
  • 3" wide site gauge level window
  • Decision Points: tank size, foam cell, mounting pad
  • Capacities from 50-1000 gallons
  • 3-year warranty
