IVECO MAGIRUS Air Crash Tender and Fire-Fighting Vehicles for Airport Fire Brigades

Aircraft rescue fire fighting is one of the biggest and most complex challenges that fire brigades have to meet. As the helpers’ partner, IVECO MAGIRUS supplies a complete range of air crash tender and fire-fighting vehicles, turntable ladders and aerial rescue platforms. The systems provided by IVECO MAGIRUS not only guarantee effective assistance, but also make conditions safer, easier and more predictable in day-to-day operations.

Time and time again, innovations from IVECO MAGIRUS have set new standards for the entire industry. Special fire brigade chassis, revolutionary superstructure systems, innovative cab solutions, state-of-the-art pump technology and impressive all-wheel concepts: these are a few of the reasons why airport fire brigades all over the world also rely on IVECO MAGIRUS.

Airport fire-fighting vehicles

With the DRAGON 2 model series, IVECO MAGIRUS has introduced a new generation of airport fire-fighting vehicles. The series is innovative with all-new concepts specifically developed for the chassis, drive train, extinguishing technology, control system and design result. This attractive range of vehicles can do more than ever before.

Fire-fighting operations at airports

DRAGON 2 units address the constantly growing and often extreme demands associated with fire-fighting operations at airports.

In keeping with the IVECO MAGIRUS philosophy, this consistent solution has been developed in-house and is produced using a one-stop-shop approach. The modular system makes it possible to implement different configurations and drive variants including:

• Chassis type: 4×4, 6×6 or 8×8
• GVV from 24t to 48t
• Power from 560HP up to 1,200HP
• Cabin from 1+2 up to 1+5 seats
• Drive: centre, left or right-hand

The extinguishing capabilities of DRAGON 2 units include:

• Tank (water and foam): 4×4 up to 6,500l, 6×6 up to 14,000l and 8×8 up to 19,000l
• Powder up to 500kg
• Pump up to 10,000l at 10 bar and up to 400l at 40 bar
• Roof monitor up to 7,000l/min
• Bumper up to 2,500l/min

The driving performance of DRAGON 2 includes:

• Acceleration (0-80km/hr) < 25s
• Maximum speed > 135km/hr

Fire-fighting vehicles for smaller airport fire brigades

The IMPACT model series combines proven solutions with innovative technologies, multi-functional qualities with highly specialised capabilities, and compact dimensions with a broad operational spectrum.

The IMPACT is specially designed for fire brigades at smaller airports with limited budgets. This model series is based on the large-scale production truck components of the IVECO trakker and is adopted to meet the specific requirements of ARFF.

Superstructure, extinguishing technology and control system electronics

Superstructure technology, extinguishing technology and control system electronics are perfectly matched to the chassis and represent integral parts of a consistent overall vehicle concept as only IVECO MAGIRUS can supply.

The modular design makes it possible to create different vehicle configurations according to ICAO and NFPA standards, including:

• Chassis type: 4×4 – 6×6
• GVV from 18t to 29t
• Power up to 560hp
• Emission standard: Euro3 and Euro5
• Cabin from 1+2 seats up to 1+6 seats
• Drive: left or right hand

The extinguishing capabilities of the IMPACT model series include:

• Tank (water and foam): 4×4 up to 6,800l and 6×6 up to 12,000l
• Powder up to 500kg
• Pump up to 6,000l at 10 bar and up to 400l at 40 bar
• Roof monitor up to 4,500l/min
• Bumper up to 2,500l/min

The driving performance of IMPACT includes:

• Acceleration (0-80km/hr): 4×4 < 25s and 6×6 < 35s
• Maximum speed > 105km/hr
