Firefighting Robot TAF60 and TAF60X - For atomisation of very high volumes of water
Mobile Firefighting
The TAF60 is the latest model of fire-fighting robots on the market and comes equipped with innovative new features. The previously known benefits of the water mist turbine on tracked vehicles are, of course, retained: thanks to the finest misting technology, the extinguishing and cooling effect of the turbine is extremely high (even with small amounts of water). The tracked fire-fighting vehicle itself is extremely agile, suitable for all terrains and can be completely remote-controlled. The extinguishing robot can thus be sent ahead in danger zones and protects the emergency services.
Among the innovations: the TAF60 can force through up to 6,000 litres of water per minute, which is a great advantage, especially for tackling large fires in chemical works and refineries. The total height of the fire fighting robot has been reduced to less than 2 metres, which means that the TAF60 can easily enter low buildings (such as underground car parks).
The optionally available central monitor, which can be swivelled to the side, opens up completely new operational tactics: while a hotspot is cooled with water mist, the monitor can simultaneously aim at and extinguish any adjacent embers.
The TAF60 offers the following advantages and benefits:
- Water throughput of 6,000 l / min
- Total height of less than 2 metres also enables use in low buildings (such as underground car parks).
- High cooling and extinguishing effect of the water mist turbine (thanks to atomisation)
- The laterally-swivelling central monitor increases the range of applications
- The remote-controlled extinguishing robot enhances the safety conditions for the firefighters ( remote control range: 300 m)
- Gentle foam application for liquid fires
- Highly efficient technology for large-scale fires (especially liquid fires)
- Ambient effect in complex building structures
- Binding of gases and smoke improves visibility and increases safety
- Powerful effect for the suppression of pollutants
The turbine is suitable for atomising water, foam, retarder and gel additives.
TAF60X: Maximum flexibility when fighting fires thanks to head monitor
TAF60X
The TAF60 is also available in an X version: the TAF60X offers all the advantages of the TAF60 and also has a head monitor attached to the turbine that can be swivelled sideways. The head monitor can be controlled separately from the turbine and thereby increases the extinguishing area many times over (inclination: left, right, up and down from -17°to +17°). The head monitor is ideal, for example, for creating escape routes during the extinguishing process.
The TAF60X offers the following advantages and benefits:
- Maximum flexibility when fighting fires thanks to head monitor
- Two-in-One: Large-volume cooling and simultaneously targeted extinguishing through the head monitor
- Water throughput of 6,000 l / min
- Total height of less than 2 metres also enables use in low buildings (such as underground car parks).
- High cooling and extinguishing effect of the water mist turbine (thanks to atomisation)
- The remote-controlled extinguishing robot enhances the safety conditions for the firefighters ( remote control range: 300 m)
- Gentle foam application for liquid fires
- Highly efficient technology for large-scale fires (especially liquid fires)
- Ambient effect in complex building structures
- Binding of gases and smoke improves visibility and increases safety
- Powerful effect for the suppression of pollutants
Central and head monitor
Summary
The water mist technology, the laterally-swivelling central and head monitors, the many available options and the versatile chassis make the TAF60 and TAF60X extremely agile and highly flexible devices for fire fighting.
The new extinguishing robots not only provide efficient extinguishing assistance in many fire scenarios, but above all offer increased safety conditions for the firefighters.

TAF60X: Head Monitor in Action
Video
The video shows the new features of the TAF60X: the increased water flow rate of 6,000 liters per minute and the head monitor.
The head monitor can be controlled separately from the turbine and can tilt both vertically and horizontally. This increases the extinguishing area enormously, e.g. the turbine can extinguish while the head monitor creates escape routes.
Available options for TAF60 and TAF60X:
TAF60 and TAF60X
- Laterally-swivelling central monitor, tilt: -17° to + 17° *
- Various nozzle configurations
- Self-protection system
- Ducts of different lengths
- Rail travel equipment
- Forklift forks
- Hydraulic winch
- Cameras (infrared, colour)
- Data transmission and recording systems
- EURO adapter frame
- Suitable transport trailer solutions including a cover
* the laterally-swivelling central monitor is only available for the TAF60
The firefighting robot is an excellent choice for the following areas of use:
Fields of Application
Due to its low height, the high water flow rate of 6,000 liters per minute as well as its manoeuvrability, the TAF60 and the TAF60X are the ideal partner for difficult operations in many fields of application.
They are particularly suitable for: chemical industry, tunnel systems, subway shafts, recycling plants, large halls, substations, urban areas, etc.
