The
Harrisonburg Fire Department located on I-81 along
Virginias scenic Shenandoah Valley, upgraded
their Haz-Mat response capabilities by adding a Hackney
TR1782 Haz-Mat trailer to their fleet.
The 34-ft long trailer provides
a enormous 1355 cu.ft. of fully functional storage
capacity, all within the confines of the trailer.
The body features 17 compartments. The rear compartment
is fully transverse and accessible from the left,
right or rear roll-up doors. An awning is installed
on the right side of the trailer that extends between
the front and rear axles.
The city provided a Kenworth
T-300 tractor meeting the requirements for fire apparatus
with a 330hp Cummins ISC engine and Allison 3000EVS
transmission. Both the tractor and trailer is provided
with polished aluminum alloy wheels.
A Will-Burt light tower is installed on the forward
section of the trailer roof and features (2) 900 watt
MagnaFire quartz flood lights and (2) 110,000 lumens
metal-halide lights. Two Hannay cord reels with 200-ft
of 10/4 cord are provided, along with multiple assorted
outlets around the trailer. All this equipment is
powered by a 25,000 watt Onan PTO generator inter-connected
to the trailer via a quick disconnect umbilical cord.
