Well I've been busy out in the shop developing a new skid configuration.

Proud to introduce our new Mini Fire Skid setup!!

This skid incorporates some new features in response to feedback we have received from our customers.

-Here are the features of this portable skid:
Honda GX pump and motor
Bypass circuit to eliminate pump damage when running intermittent or against closed nozzle.
Compact footprint and less than 200 lbs for easy transport.

The most notable feature in response to customer request is that this setup hooks up (via 2" suction hose) to your existing water supply. Simply hook up a 2" cam lock supply lione top a loaf tank, IBC tote or stock tank, and you no longer have to worry about transporting all that weight of a loaded tank. Depending on your vehicle, you can use a 100 gallon tank for supply or a 1000 gallon cistern.

Of course the setup comes on a fully welded and powder coated frame that can be lifted by 2 people and fits into any size suv or pickup.

In addition we are able to offer this setup at a substantial savings from our full size setup. $2900 plus tax and freight.

Had a great opportunity last week to use one of our fire skids for dust control on a demo job with Jesse from Flag Hauling.

In this setup I had 2 additional water containers that I had hooked into the suction port of the 3 way valve. No need for expensive rental equipment!

Also installed and tested our new bypass kit so I could run the pump continuously.

Special thanks to Flag Hauling LLC and Scott at Flag Aerial for the awesome video

If you need a fire skid but would rather customize with your own gear....We now sell the Skid portion of our units. Fully welded out with tote brackets and pump plate welded as shown. You supply all the components and save big $$$!

Same bottom skid we use in all our units, in a DIY friendly setup.

Ive had lots of inquiries for setups with small custom touches ( casters, different hose setups, optional pumps and engines) now you can build your Fire Skid just the way you like! Start with a solid base, the hard work is already done.
