Compact Electric Firefighting Monitor for Front Bumper & Vehicle-Mounted Applications
The Alco APF 1-DC EVO Monitor is a compact electric firefighting monitor engineered for modern fire appliances, bushfire vehicles and emergency response fleets where space, weight and performance are critical considerations. Designed and manufactured by AWG Alco in Germany, the APF 1-DC EVO combines remote-controlled operation, robust construction and efficient water and foam delivery in a lightweight package suitable for front bumper and vehicle-mounted installations.
With flow rates up to 1,300 L/min and a wide operating range, the APF 1-DC EVO provides firefighters with effective suppression capabilities while maintaining a compact footprint. Its electric operation allows precise monitor positioning from within the vehicle, improving operator safety and enabling rapid response in challenging environments.
Key Features:
