The Mabou Fire Department, located in Cape Breton, NS welcomed home their new Metalfab Single Axle Tanker on June 26, 2013. This was the first Metalfab unit purchased by the department.
The Metalfab Single Axle Tanker was driven by a International 4400 Two Door, Single Axle chassis. The chassis was equipped with a MaxxForce 9 330 HP engine and a Allison Automatic Transmission.
The tanker was equipped with a Hale AP 420 IGPM PTO driven pump and a FoamPro 1600 in a side
mount pump panel configuration. The truck was equipped with 1 2-1/2" Discharge on each the right side pump panel, the left side pump panel, and the rear of the unit. The truck was also equipped with 2 1-1/2" crosslays located above the pump. The poly tank had a capacity of 1,500 Imp. Gal. of water and 20 Imp. Gal. of Foam. At the rear, a 10" Newton Dump with rotating swivel and 36" telescopic chute and a 4" direct tank fill valve were installed.
The Metalfab Single Axle Extruded Aluminum Body featured low side compartments fitted with Roll Up Doors on each side of the unit. There was rear access storage tubes for one 6" suction hose on either side of the tank. There was also a tube for the storage of a pike pole installed in the right suction hose tube. A manual drop down portable tank rack was installed on the left side of the unit and a manual drop down ladder rack was installed on the right side of the unit. A Zico Quic Ladder was installed at the rear of the unit to access the main hosebed. This was installed in place of steps.
We would like to thank the Mabou Fire Department for choosing Metalfab to manufacture this tanker for them.
