Fire destroys billions of
dollars worth of industrial equipment every year. It causes
manpower losses, decreased property value, and in many cases,
human lives. Yet few companies fail to properly protect
their workers and industrial equipment from its damaging
effect. That's why there is Amerex.
Amerex is one of the nation's leading manufacturers of fire
fighting equipment, with more engineering, manufacturing
and quality control experience than anyone else in the industry.
We can protect your equipment from fire with a suppression
system designed specifically for you.
VEHICLE FIRES
Some Ever-Present Dangers:
Abrasion against
a high-pressure hydraulic line causes a pinhole and leaks
atomized hydraulic fluid onto a hot manifold.
Cardboard,
paper and other combustible solids gather behind the hot
exhaust manifold in the engine compartment of a trash
truck.
A short occurs
in one of the machine's electrical cables, setting the
cable insulation on fire.
Methanol,
a highly flammable invisible fire hazard, ignites from
the accidental discard of a cigarette butt.
Coal dust
ignites from a metal spark.
A wiring harness
near the battery shorts against the vehicle's chassis,
melts, and then ignites.
Life Protector
Whether it is an operator sitting
high atop a loader or your children riding in their school
bus, Amerex Vehicle Fire Suppression Systems are designed
first and foremost to protect human life. Our systems are
designed and installed to suppress a fire before it can reach
the operator or passenger areas quickly and efficiently.
Reduce Damage and Down Time
Industrial vehicles are plagued with
potential fire hazards. Amerex can effectively identify these
hazards and protect your equipment against them with a fixed
fire suppression system. Amerex
Vehicle Fire Suppression Systems are designed to warn the
operator and suppress the fire, protecting both equipment
and employees. Our automatic systems suppress the fire in
its earliest stages before it becomes fully established and
spreads into highly combustible areas. As a result, damage
is limited and equipment down time is held to a minimum. Considering the protection provided,
these systems are cost efficient. In fact, the cost of installing
an Amerex system to protect your equipment can be compared
to a penny protecting a ten-dollar bill.
Reduce Insurance
Cost
Amerex Vehicle Fire Suppression Systems
may make it easier to obtain insurance and also help you to
qualify for lower premiums. As the costs of heavy-duty vehicles
rise, insurance rates escalate accordingly. Many insurance
companies have recognized a reduction in claims paid out due
to the presence of a fixed vehicle fire suppression system.
The Amerex Vehicle Fire Suppression System will lower your
fire risk, which can lower your insurance premiums. The key
phrase is "material change of risk." Ask you insurance
agent.
