From pump to nozzle — including the pump house, hoses, monitors, valves, safety devices, diagnostics and plumbing — SafeBuy is a complete suppression agent delivery system designed from the ground up. It also minimizes purchase risk for fire departments because it is certified to perform as required, and it is backed by Hale’s five-year parts and labor pump warranty.
The SafeBuy system includes the following components:
- Hale Qmax™ pump backed by Hale’s 5-year parts and labor warranty
- Anti-corrosion anodes that alert firefighters when they need to be replaced
- Gearbox with anti-hot shift feature
- Engine governor that minimizes pressure spikes during low-flow or erratic water supply to guard against pump cavitation
- Thermal relief valve that stops the pump from overheating and increases life expectancy of the pumps mechanical seal
- Manifold system the requires limited welding or cutting to add foam to the system
- Pre-connected portable monitor with exclusive safety shut-off and 500 GPM capacity
- Remotely operated, high-volume curbside intake valve for maximum corrosion resistance
- High-volume remote control monitor that allows tether or radio frequency control to keep firefighters in a safe operation position
- Handheld nozzles that provide maximum flows and proven performance while reducing firefighter nozzle reaction and stress
SafeBuy also allows fire departments to have their pump house design of choice. Its design allows for standardization of panel layout for easier pump operational training across multiple vehicles. Plumbing layouts are also consistent so service and maintenance is easier to perform.
Hale strives to engineer fire suppression solutions specifically to improve firefighter safety and we have worked to make SafeBuy as simple to operate as possible so that firefighters can focus on stabilizing incidents and not operating equipment. They can only do that if they trust their equipment, and they can only trust their equipment if all the components were engineered and tested together as a complete system.
