Tree surgeons are often exposed to harsh environments involving high machine up-time, which increases the number of potential hazards and fire risks. Dust and debris, long hours with minimal downtime and lack of maintenance are frequent causes of fires for heavy plant and machinery. In the arboreal industry, these are risks that cannot be taken due to the consequences they would have on a business.

Recently Fireward worked with Liphook Tree Surgeons Ltd. to protect their latest investment, a Liugong 915F cr. Liphook Tree Surgeons purchased the machine to support the activities of the business and to allow them to run more efficiently. With existing fire risks, "downtime must be reduced for such a valuable asset" to ensure Liphook Tree Surgeons’ operations can quickly resume in the event of a fire.

Operating throughout the South of England, Liphook Tree Surgeons Ltd. utilise a range of different machinery, similar to the LiuGong 915F cr. As the company works at a variety of locations including conservation sites and SSSI, there is a "need to need to maintain safety within the environments" they work in.An indirect, compact, dry powder system is now protecting this machine from fires and the business from downtime. In the event of a fire, the heat from the flames will burst the Pneumatic tubing which surrounds the engine. The pressurised system then activates, dispersing dry powder throughout. Due to the powerful knockdown properties, the dry powder extinguishes the fire in seconds and allows for a safe egress for any operators.

The recent investment for Liphook Tree Surgeons involved an extensive amount of research into safety measures and optional extras to ensure they complied with the appropriate regulations. The machine is extremely valuable and is required for critical functions, therefore, precautions must be considered to reduce safety risks for the operators, the surrounding population and the protected area. The LiuGong 915F cr is an extremely reliable machine but just like any machine it comes with its hazards, high-performance and compact fire suppression was the best solution to provide safety and protection for the machine. Reacton's extensive track record and approvals ultimately proved to be the most compatible match to protect this machine along with the comprehensive support of Fireward. The automatic fire suppression system, installed by Fireward, was a necessity for the LiuGong 915F cr.

By choosing Fireward to protect their machine, Liphook Tree Surgeons are guaranteed 24/7 protection, minimal downtime in the event of a fire, and a 3-year warranty on their system. This makes Fireward the best solution to protect this valuable asset.
