KIMTEK BRUSH TRUCK SKID UNITS: Affordable – Reliable – Easy to Use

When it comes to high-performance firefighting solutions, KIMTEK® Corporation stands out as a leader with decades of experience. Designed for seamless integration on pickup trucks or UTVs, FIRELITE® skid units deliver the speed, flexibility, and reliability that emergency responders need in the field. Our units, known for their rugged build and innovative features, are essential tools trusted by professionals nationwide for battling wildfires and tough terrain.

Affordable, Customizable Skid Units

At KIMTEK, we offer high-quality, customizable skid units. Each unit is built on a rugged aluminum base and shell, featuring a National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) compliant poly water tank with baffles. The stainless steel plumbing and brass quarter-turn valves come as standard, along with premium components from trusted brands like Darley Davey Pumps, Honda engines, Hannay Reels, Scotty Foam Systems, and Mercedes hose. Some models even include welded stainless steel manifolds for added durability.

Solutions For Departments On A Budget

We understand that not every department can afford a brand-new “turnkey” brush truck. That’s why many career and volunteer fire departments turn to KIMTEK to build their own wildland firefighting rigs. With the right pickup truck or flatbed chassis, our FIRELITE skid units offer a cost-effective, high-performance solution that fits within your budget. Available with 125, 160, 200, and 300-gallon water tanks, each unit also features a 5-gallon foam cell for enhanced firefighting capability.

Series Options To Fit Your Needs

Our FIRELITE series offers various models to suit your department’s specific needs. The basic FDHP 304, 305, and 306 models are our base units, while the professional-grade FDHP 301, 302, and 303 models, come with additional features that departments find invaluable. For those looking for even more power, our ultra-high-pressure FCUHP basic series (404, 405, and 406), and the deluxe FCUHP 401, 402, and 403 models are available.

Easy To Operate, Minimal Training Required

FIRELITE skid units are designed with simplicity in mind, making them easy to operate with minimal training. Whether it’s for seasoned firefighters or new volunteers, the intuitive design ensures that anyone in your department can safely and effectively use these units in the field.

Perfect For Quick Attack & Versatile Use

Each FIRELITE unit features forklift-able bases, allowing for easy loading and unloading from your truck chassis. Their low-profile design is perfect for navigating tight spaces such as parking garages, sports stadiums, and other hard-to-reach areas where larger fire apparatus can’t go. These skid units are ideal for off-road brush fires, grass fires, and any situation requiring a fast-attack response. With additional storage and transport capabilities, they’re also suitable for disaster response, including hurricanes, tsunamis, and mountain rescues.

Built to Last In Extreme Conditions

FIRELITE skid units are built to endure. They won’t crack, degrade, or melt when exposed to high heat or prolonged sunlight, and the durable design prevents broken welds caused by off-road flexing. When you choose a KIMTEK FIRELITE skid unit, you’re investing in a long-lasting, reliable piece of equipment that will serve your department for years to come. Buy the best—choose KIMTEK FIRELITE skid units for your brush trucks and UTVs.
