CAT MH3026 MATERIAL HANDLER | VEHICLE FIRE SUPPRESSION
We recently installed our Dual Agent Automatic Fire Suppression System on a CAT MH3026 Material Handler, enhancing fire safety for rail industry operations.
The Power of Dual Agent Suppression
The Dual Agent system consists of wet and dry suppression agents. The dry powder delivers a powerful fire knockdown, rapidly suppressing flames and reaching hidden fire sources. The wet chemical agent cools superheated engine components, preventing reignition through strategically placed nozzles in high-risk areas.
Why Choose Fireward’s Dual Agent Fire Suppression?
The combination of wet and dry suppression agents provides double the protection against fire damage:
- Dry Powder – Rapidly knocks down flames and penetrates areas where fire could be hidden.
- Wet Chemical – Cools superheated components, preventing reignition through precisely positioned nozzles.
Additional Features
Battery Isolator – Prevents electrical fires by cutting off the battery.
In-Cab Monitor – Alerts the operator when a fire has been detected and suppressed.
Manual Actuator – Allows operators to manually activate the system in emergencies.
Engine Shutdown – Automatically stops the engine to reduce fire spread.

Fire Risks in Rail Industry Machinery
The CAT MH3026 operates in demanding rail environments where high temperatures, hydraulic fluids, and flammable debris increase the risk of machinery fires. A fire suppression system is essential to minimise downtime, reduce repair costs, and protect both operators and equipment from severe fire hazards.
