Fire fighting with waterjet cutter

[Paul.]

Just finished 3 off these today, its a training rig for my customer who is just setting up this system, its a hand held waterjet cutter for firefighting and cutting, the frame holds a 600 x 600 or a 600 x 750 paving slab, and 4 concrete blocks, clamped in by the door on the rear, all stick welded, 100 x 50 PFC base and 100 x 50 RSA frame, rear door 50 x 50 SHS,
3 more to make to hold wooden panels,

Used a similar system when installing a fire training rig at Schiphol airport. They are some impressive piece of kit

I know this is an old thread, but I've just found this youtube vid, of the training rigs in use, good example of the power of water,

Good tool. I like the use of the large fella positioned at the back as ballast

Presume the fire fighters make sure theres no one on the otherside before break-through!

Different use all together. My Borther in Law used to work a train that cleaned the Train tracking rails before sand been laid down in winter. The water jet could not be operated below 6mph as it would gouge the track, and below 3mph it could sever it. Then again it was 11000psi

For a few of my 30 years on the fire department, I was also a member of our Urban Search and Rescue unit. Cool piece of equipment ya got there. Nice work. I applaud your efforts.
