In today’s world of Occupational, Health and Safety, the use of mechanical aids to improve the way we can operate efficiently and safely in the outdoors is important decision. There are many products on the market to assist Emergency Service Responders through to Mining and Construction and Surveillance and Monitoring.

Several innovative products have been developed by Fireco Components SRL, based in Brescia, Italy.

The range of telescopic Masts starts with the Lightweight range of manual or pneumatic (air operated) masts. These masts include the Star, Entry, Super Entry, Primo, Super Primo and Maxi Primo masts ranging from 66mm to 101mm diameter and to a height of 20m. These masts can be fitted with internal wiring, locking collars and sand scraper rings

The second range of masts is the Partner range of masts. These masts include the Zero, Ultralight, Light, Standard, Heavy, Super, and the new Giant masts. Typically these masts offer increase head loads and can be keyed to prevent mast rotation. The Partner mast offer a greater range of wiring combinations including coax cables and range from 66mm to 250mm diameter and to a height of 40m.

In the case when you need to operate the mast for extended periods, typically when used for radio, broadcast or surveillance applications, we would recommend the Steady masts. These masts are similar to the Partner range but are fitted with locking collars to keep the mast fully extended, even when a loss of air pressure occurs.

Masts are typically mounted to vehicles or trailers for lighting, Communications, broadcasting, surveillance and even aerial photograph, using external fixing brackets, or can be mounted through the vehicle body if space permits. The most common application on Emergency Vehicles is to provide a light mast or light tower by installing fixed lights or adjustable lights using tilt and turn units which are remote controlled from ground level.

Masts are also used to mount cameras, antennas, meteorology and telemetry equipment. These pump up masts are typically used by Police, Fire, State Emergency and Rescue Services (SES), Mining, Construction, Security, Radio, Television & News services, Aerial inspection and photography,  Science agencies,

Masts are also used stand alone in the field using tripod and guy rope systems. Fireco strongly recommend any mast exceeding 7m should be secured using guy ropes attached to the special guy collar on the mast to suitable pickets driven into the ground.

If space is not available to mount a telescopic mast, then a Roof Mast can be installed. These types of masts store flat and when operated will rotate 90 degrees and then extend.

The masts can be extended by hand or pneumatically raised rated via a hand operated pump, 12V, 24V or 240V air compressor or from the vehicles air system.

240V lights are available in Halogen, Metal Halide, and High pressure sodium. Low voltage lights (12 & 24V) are available in Xenon HID, LED, Xenoplot, Metal Halide and High pressure sodium.

A recent development is the Aqua mast which is a telescopic water way which allows a water monitor to operate up to 13m above ground level. The aqua mast is raised by air pressure and the heavy duty water way allows flow rates up to 1300 LPM.

The masts are constructed high quality, light weight aluminium, with a hard wearing and corrosion resistant anodised finish. The gaskets and seals are manufactured from a special compound that can withstand temperatures between -30 and +60 degrees.

Ultra High Pressure Fire Fighting pumps have also been developed by Fireco. Petrol or Diesel engines drive compact pumps conserving water usage while providing fine water droplets for rapid knockdown of a fire with minimal water damage. Lightweight hoses reduce the fatigue of the fire fighter while the induction of foam provides extended capability. These units can be permanently mounted in a vehicle or on a removable slip on frame for utility vehicles.
