Foam Trailer

Description

The EUROSAFE Foam Trailer consists of the following: A complete mobile package meeting all applicable NFPA standards consisting of a trailer constructed with frame, wheels, and axles capable of carrying the total charged weight of the trailer assembly and the foam concentrate. The trailer frame includes a tongue jack, electrical connections, NFPA 1901 lighting package (optional), reflective striping, rear mud flaps, and rear stabilizer jacks. The foam system can utilize either of two foam storage vessel designs: polyethylene tote(s), either single, dual, multiple or a rigidly constructed metal foam tank. The foam monitor is capable of delivering up to 1000 gpm (3785 lpm) of foam solution at a pressure of 100 psi (7.0 bar). The monitor connections are up to 3.0” (76 mm).
The self-educting monitor nozzle is capable of delivering up to 1000 gpm (3785 lpm) at 100 psi (7.0 bar)

APPLICATIONS

The EUROSAFE Foam Trailer is designed to provide quick, mobile foam fire protection for hazards consisting of flammable liquids. These types of hazards can be defined as tank farms, loading racks (both truck and rail), chemical processing plants, and marine off loading/on loading terminals. The trailer storage vessel, either tote(s) or metal tank, provides a large capacity supply of foam concentrate.

The pre-piped monitor and nozzle allow for the foam system to be put into action very rapidly. The Perimeter Solutions Foam Trailer greatly increases the firefighting ability of industrial, municipal, and military fire emergency responders.

specification

Trailer Frame

The trailer frame shall be constructed of all-welded steel. No bolts, screws, or rivets shall be used in the construction of the frame. The trailer framework shall be constructed of 4.0” x 2.0” x 0.125” (102 mm x 51 mm x 3.2 mm) wall steel tubing. The cross members shall be notched at their ends to fit inside of the outer frame channels. Cross members shall be positioned to maximize support for the foam totes, monitors, and plumbing.

Two lengths of 4.0” (102 mm) channel shall be welded diagonally between the coupler and the front corners of the frame. The front of the trailer (monitor operators position), shall be covered with 0.125” (3.2 mm) embossed aluminum diamond plate.

Mounting provisions shall be provided for the foam tank(s). The trailer shall be equipped with 2-5/16” coupler, an adjustable front jack, two rear stabilizer jacks, and a full light package for highway use.

Axles

The axles shall be rated a minimum of 3500 lb (1588 kg) load rating each. The axles shall be bolted to the frame utilizing Grade 8 bolts. The axles shall consist of torsion bar suspension and independent wheel movement to provide maximum shock absorption and proper handling.

Brakes

The trailer assembly shall contain an electric brake system.

NFPA Lighting Package (optional)

The trailer shall contain a light package that meets the minimum warning light and actuation requirements of NFPA 1901 Fire Apparatus Standard (current edition).

Hose Bins

Two hose bins shall be provided. Each located above each of the trailer fenders.

Tote Tank

Each tote foam storage container(s) shall be sized to hold 265 gallons (1003 litres) (or optional 320 gallon (1211 litres)) of foam concentrate. The tote shall be constructed of high density polyethylene. The tote shall be enclosed by a galvanized steel base and rigid, welded galvanized tubular steel grid.

Foam Tank Connection

Foam connection hoses shall be constructed of 1.5” (38 mm) or 2.0” (50 mm) suction hose to allow foam flow. Cam and groove couplings shall be used to enable quick connection and disconnection of the foam concentrate hoses.

Self-Educting Foam Nozzle

Fixed gallonage combination, fog, straight stream, self-educting, constant gallonage foam nozzle shall be available with a flow rate up to 1000 gpm (3785 lpm) at 100 psi (7.0 bar) (specify) and user selected foam proportioning ratios of 0.5%, 1.0%, 3.0%, or 6.0%. Nozzle shall be hard coat anodized aluminum alloy or brass. Nozzle shall include an industrial hard grade UV resistant 1.5” (38 mm) concentrate pick-up hose with cam lock connection to the nozzle foam inlet and a UV resistant front rubber bumper and halo ring for pattern adjustment.

Foam Monitor

The 3.0” (76 mm) monitor inlet shall be provided at the front of the trailer. The inlet shall terminate with a 3.0” (76 mm) or 4.0” (102 mm) 4-bolt 150# flange. The discharge shall be gated with a 3.0” (76 mm) quarter turn ball valve. The valve controller shall be located on the valve. The monitor shall be bolted directly to the 3.0” flange. Threaded 0.25” NPT ports shall be provided for drain valve and pressure gauge. Maximum flow capacity of 1000 gpm (3785 lpm) shall be based on monitor type selected.

Metal Tank

The optional metal foam storage container shall be sized to hold 500, 750, or 1000 gallons (1893, 2839, 3785 litres) of foam concentrate. The metal tank shall be constructed of painted steel, or stainless steel, of sufficient gauge. Custom designed sizes shall be available to meet customer needs.

Finish

The trailer shall be prepared and finished with EUROSAFE blue or red enamel finish.
