The statistics involving fires on heavy machinery, like construction equipment, are alarming.

Often times fires occur due to one, or a combination, of these factors:

• The equipment operates for long periods of time under extreme conditions.
• The equipment contains large quantities of flammable substances (fuel, lubricant, hydraulic fluid, grease, etc.).
• The equipment works in high-risk environments and around flammable materials.

Fires on board construction equipment, as with any type of heavy machinery, can involve expensive repairs, long operational delays and great damage to the environment, nearby machinery or people. In some cases, a fire can even cause a total loss of the machine or vehicle. By installing an automatic Dafo extinguishing system, your construction equipment will have the most effective preventive and functional measures for protection from fires.
