VOLVO L220H | VEHICLE FIRE SUPPRESSION

This Volvo L220H Wheel Loader is now protected by Fireward’s Dual Agent automatic fire suppression system, combining dry powder and wet chemical to deliver comprehensive fire protection.

Dry powder provides rapid fire knockdown, while the wet chemical offers a prolonged cooling effect on superheated components — ideal for machines operating in high-risk port environments.

 

How Fireward’s Dual Agent System Works

Fireward’s Dual Agent system provides effective fire suppression through:

  • Pneumatic Detection – Tube bursts when exposed to flame, triggering the system

  • Dry Powder – Rapidly suppresses fire and prevents re-ignition

  • Wet Chemical – Cools superheated components, reducing the risk of reignition

  • Indirect Release – Agent is distributed through strategically placed nozzles for targeted coverage

 

Additional Features:

Battery Isolator – Prevents electrical fires by cutting off the battery
Machine Shutdown – Automatically powers down equipment to contain risk

Fire Risks in Wheel Loaders

Wheel loaders like the Volvo L220H operate in environments where dust, heat, and flammable materials combine to create a high risk of fire. With constant engine strain and potential for fluid leaks, effective fire protection is essential.

 

Built-in Fire Protection for Wheel Loaders

Fireward’s automatic fire suppression systems are built to protect against these threats, keeping downtime to a minimum and safeguarding the operator and machine.
