Rosenbauer unveils most powerful portable fire pump, FOX, at FLORIAN

Rosenbauer has introduced the latest version of its FOX portable fire pump at the FLORIAN firefighting trade show in Dresden. The new model boasts a flow rate of 2,050 liters per minute at 10 bar, making it the most powerful in its class. For the first time, it meets the PFPN 10-2000 standard of EN 14466, offering increased performance while remaining lightweight and easy to operate.

Building on the fourth-generation design, the new FOX is powered by a BRP-Rotax 3-cylinder engine. Enhancements to the cooling system, including a larger fan and optimized airflow, have led to improved engine output. Efficiency gains have also been made with the use of an impeller from Rosenbauer’s N20 in-built pump, enabling the FOX to maintain high performance while weighing only 172 kg.

The pump is equipped with a 3.5-inch RBC LCS color display, which allows for user-friendly control and includes a fully automated priming process. The display provides essential system information and troubleshooting support if needed. Rosenbauer has also added the option of an integrated LED lighting system to improve visibility during manual transport.

Orders for the new FOX fire pump will be available starting on October 13, 2024, with deliveries expected by the end of the year, depending on order volume. The latest FOX model combines unmatched performance and efficiency, offering a flow rate of 2,050 liters per minute at 10 bar, enhanced cooling and pump efficiency, and updated operational features, all while maintaining a lightweight design.
