Whilst the E1 Scorpion concept is not new (water tower pumping appliances have been around for decades), the manufacturing and systems engineering, and technology employed within this vehicle certainly is new! The Scorpion features a 20m High Reach Extendable Turret (HRET) system along with the optional “Fire-Spike” piercing lance system (designed and manufactured in the UK). The installation facilitates up to a 20m vertical reach and 14m horizontal reach, with full 360º rotation. Water and Foam delivery is available via the boom-mounted high flow monitor (up to 4,000lpm), or via the “Fire-Spike” (1,000lpm). CCTV and Thermal Imaging Cameras are also installed, with images relayed to locations such as the cab or pumpbay system controls and/or the chest-pack “ePump RC” remote control system (a remote system, allowing full control of the HRET and of all Pumping Systems).
