Recent Deliveries - Port Hood, NS




On April 14, 2013, Metalfab delivered this new Pumper unit to the Port Hood Volunteer Fire Department located in Cape Breton, NS.  This was the department's first Metalfab unit. 


This new pumper features a Hale QFLO 1050 IGPM Midship pump with a Foam Pro 2001 foam system.  The poly water tank on this unit has a capacity of 1,000 Imperial Gallons of water and 20 Imperial Gallons of Foam.  The truck also has a 10" Newton Dump with a 180 degree rotating swivel and 36" Tele-chute installed at the rear of the unit.


The warning lights on this unit are a Federal LED Lighting Package.  The truck also features ditch lights in the rear wheel fender area to light up the area behind the truck.  These lights are wired to turn automatically when reverse gear is selected in the chassis cab.  They also have a separate switch in the cab for the ability to activate these lights manually.  The 110 V circuits on the truck are powered by a Raven 5 KW PTO driven generator.


The truck body features low side compartments on each side of the truck with a combination of flush mount and roll up doors.  The truck has storage for a portable tank enclosed above the right side compartments.  There are two tubes for suction hoses and pike poles located at the rear of the truck.  There is a tube for the storage of an attic ladder in the right corner of the main hosebed.  The ladders are stored on a manual drop down ladder rack on the left side of the truck.




Metalfab would like to thank the Port Hood Volunteer Fire Department for choosing Metalfab to manufacture this new pumper.
