IGTC-Chubb Fire supplies firefighting trucks to Qatar Petroleum

QP acquired the versatile hydraulic platform vehicles, with a maximum achievable height of 54 meters, to help counter emergency situations on the fields in the port and the fuel tank storage areas.

The acquisition was made through a formal tender, which was won by IGTC-Chubb Fire earlier in 2007.

Bronto Skylift is a global market leader in truck mounted hydraulic aerial platforms. The company designs, manufactures, sells and services platforms meant for rescue and firefighting as well as for construction work.

Its product range includes over 50 models with a working height between 16 and 101 meters.

However the advanced modular construction of the trucks makes them highly customizable, allowing exact, client-specific variations to be produced. With 6000 units supplied worldwide they are the global market leader.

Mr. Rami Al-Batrawi, Sales & Marketing Manager, IGTC-Chubb Fire said:

“QP was looking for a very specific type of firefighting vehicle with a hydraulic boom that would help them counter a variety of emergency situations on their oil fields, and we had the perfect solution in the form of the Bronto Skylift truck. Qatar Petroleum’s requirement was for a truck that could facilitate firefighting operations in the upper floors of buildings and plants, as well as being suitable for use as a foam & water tower for rescue purposes at heights of up to 54 meters'.

Other requirements were a high load capacity, excellent visibility and maneuverability and the ability to function in a salt laden desert environment, apart from a variety of easily accessible and operable systems.

The Bronto Skylift HDT is a true basic firefighting vehicle that is used by fire departments and corporations across 100 countries.

Ready for use in a mere 30 seconds, the Skylift HDT can be sent into almost any emergency situation at a moment’s notice.

The compact structure of the Bronto aerial ladder platform makes it maneuverable and allows it to reach its destination quickly.

Always onboard are a fully equipped rescue cage, a high-capacity stainless steel waterway and safety ladders.

Trusted by firemen around the world, the Bronto Skylift has achieved the ISO 9001 quality certification as well as the ISO 14001 environment certification.

IGTC-Chubb Fire Qatar has a highly qualified team of personnel and representatives well-versed in firefighting systems to provide prompt and accurate information, advice and quotations. “Backed by many years of factory knowledge and real-world experience, we are in a position to address any and all kinds of firefighting needs,” said Mr. Rami Al-Batrawi confidently.
