At container terminals, productivity losses from equipment fires significantly impact the bottom line. Here’s how:
Unlike traditional fire extinguishers, Firetrace systems automatically detect and suppress fires in container handling equipment in seconds. This maximizes equipment uptime while protecting operators from serious injury.
Firetrace protects engines, battery compartments, electrical panels, and electrical rooms on equipment such as:
Leaks in fuel lines or hydraulic hoses can cause fuel or hydraulic oil to spill, evaporate, and spread throughout the compartment. Once in contact with hot components, the fuel or oil can ignite - filling the whole compartment with fire. Our systems protect these areas using linear pneumatic detection which triggers the release of dry chemical within the compartment to suppress the fire.

Our systems protect the panels with pneumatic heat detection tubing which bursts at the source of the fire, releasing the clean agent to suppress the fire. Clean agent will not damage equipment and is safe for the operator and the environment.
Learn MoreOvercurrent can cause components and wiring to burn or lead to arc flash within the crane's electrical room. In these cases, the spread of fire can be catastrophic, destroying the room and possibly the crane. Protect these electrical rooms with a total flood system using a clean agent which does not damage equipment and is safe for operators and the environment.
Learn MoreFiretrace systems detect fires with flexible tubing that can be placed throughout the equipment, providing instant detection at the source of a fire, with no power required.
Firetrace systems are self-monitoring. Have peace of mind knowing the readiness of your fire detection and suppression system at all times.
Firetrace systems automatically suppress fires in seconds. They are also configured with a manual release.
Using pressure switches with the pneumatic detection tubing, Firetrace systems can trigger the shutdown of an engine or power as soon as fire is detected.
