Fire Pumps & Flood Control

Having produced the ultimate high-performance machines, MTT moved to the industrial marketplace.  Consequently, the fully transportable turbine-powered fire pump system and water delivery unit was born, ranging in capacity from 1,000 GPM to 16,000 GPM and with turbine power from 420 hp to 1,400 hp.  These compact units support fire fighting, port security, oil production, irrigation, water jetting and even flood control such as after Hurricane Katrina.

Weight and space efficiency are always factors in marine installations. In this regard, MTT's fire pump packages are superior due to the unequaled power-to-weight ratio of turbine engines.  In the case of MTT's 8000 GPM fire pump unit, its 1,400 hp engine weighs approximately 680 lbs compared to its diesel counterpart which could weigh over 8,000 lbs.  A smaller powerplant translates to a smaller footprint, with less deck space required in a typical pump installation on a boat or platform.

Additionally, MTT's fire pump units are capable of dispensing foam or liquid and can be fueled with diesel.  Since safety on the water is paramount, diesel has become the preferred fuel of the marine industry because it's less volatile than gasoline.
