USAR Trailer

OKLAHOMA TASK FORCE ONE Oklahoma City Fire Department - Tulsa Fire Department The State of Oklahoma has added two Hackney USAR trailers to the states USAR Task Force teams. One each is operated by the Oklahoma City Fire Department and the Tulsa Fire Department USAR Teams and are duplicates in design and layouts. These two tractor/trailers are supplemented by a third trailer operated by The Oklahoma State University Fire Service Training group. The 18-compartments provide an incredible 1734 cu.ft. of useable storage space, plus additional storage in the four 16-ft roof top compartments. The trailers are pulled by Freightliner M2-112 four-door cab tractors and powered by Caterpillar C-13, 410 hp engines and Allison 4000EVC 6-speed automatic transmissions. Both the tractor and trailer has tandem axles with aluminum alloy wheels. The cab has five high-back individual seats for comfortably moving the team around the state. The tractor and trailer are multiplex interfaced with a V-MUX Vista control center in the tractor cab controlling all functions and providing graphic displays of open door warning and deployed awnings. All clearance stop/tail/turn signal and warning lights are LED. The 12VDC system is supplied by a six-battery system and 320-amp alternator. The 12kw Onan diesel generator, mounted on the tractor, supplies power for scene lighting with two flood lights on each side and two removable tripods on the rear. Four cord reels with power distribution boxes provide remote power. Each compartment is augmented with 120VAC fluorescent lights recessed above each door opening.

Both Oklahoma City and Tulsa Fire Department trailers provide a massive 1734 cu.ft. of storage inside the trailer, plus additional storage in the four 16-ft long roof compartments. Note the fold down ramp. This ramp can be relocated to any of the ten tall compartments using spring-loaded attachments that pin into receivers in each compartment. The 12.0kw Onan diesel generator is mounted on the side of the tractor and draws fuel from the tractor fuel tanks. It is interconnected to the trailer via an 100-amp umbilical cord. All compartments are 46” deep and designed for pallet loaded USAR caches. The caches are secured in the compartments with spring-loaded restraint bars across the front of the compartment openings. Additionally, there are cargo tie-down rings in the bottoms of each compartment. Electrically deployed awnings on each side provides additional logistical work zones sheltering against rain and sun.
