Oshkosh Airport Products has delivered three Striker aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) vehicles to Bradley International Airport.
Oshkosh stated that the new units represent a “major investment in safety, service reliability and operational agility.”
The delivery, managed in partnership with Oshkosh Airport Products’ regional dealer Firematic Supply Co. Inc, includes one Striker 6×6 with a Snozzle High Reach Extendable Turret (HRET), one Striker 4×4 with a Snozzle HRET and one Striker 4×4 with a roof turret.
Raymond Muller, Vice President of Service and Technology at Firematic Supply Co. Inc said: “This addition reflects our commitment to delivering a seamless experience to passengers and airline partners.
“The new rescue vehicles will enable high in-service rates, exceptional maintenance efficiency and support the airport’s growing traffic needs.”
All three units are powered by a Scania DC16/V8 670 HP Tier 4 Final engine and feature TAK-4 Independent Suspension for enhanced stability and off-road performance.
Advanced operator awareness and control capabilities are built into each vehicle, including 360-degree camera systems, digital video recorders, exterior water/foam level lights and an engine fast-start button on the side of each cab.
Bradley International Airport is the largest airport in Connecticut and the second largest in New England, serving more than 6.7 million passengers annually.
The production and delivery process for the airport’s new Striker ARFF vehicles was managed through a collaborative partnership between Firematic Supply Co., the engineering and technical support teams at Oshkosh Airport Products and Bradley International Airport’s internal stakeholders.
Muller added: “From initial consultation to final delivery, the sales and technical support teams played a critical role in ensuring the success of the project.
“The seamless coordination ensured the process remained on time and within budget.”
