Stainless steel bucket FLORY 26

round

This suspended firefighting monsoon bucket is designed for helicopters with the minimum load carrying capacity of 3000 kg on the suspension lock (load hook). The bucket is opened and closed using compressed air. It is filled by lowering into a body of water and emptied as necessary – either completely or partially. Quick Charge Thanks to it’s large bottom aperture, the FLORY 26 helicopter bucket can achieve a full charge or discharge in just 3 seconds. Fire Retardant The helicopter bucket is fitted with a system of adding fire-retardant foams mid-flight, increasing extinguishing efficiency by up to 300%. Rescue Basket In an emergency, the FLORY 26 helicopter bucket doubles as a rescue basket, capable of taking 2-3 people away from the fire. Wide Discharge The high dispersion coefficient of 0.9 translates into 13 m of water dispersal width, making even the smallest targets unmissable. Corrosion Resistant The helicopter bucket is made of industrial-grade AISI 316L stainless steel that boasts incredible corrosion resistance. Water Delivery FLORY 26 is equipped with a release valve, enabling water delivery for ground-based fire crews. Buoyant Flotation devices are installed to the FLORY 26 monsoon bucket, allowing it to float on the water surface while released. Multiple Discharges The water flow can be closed near-instantaneously, allowing you to extinguish multiple separate packs of fire with a single charge of the monsoon bucket. Stable The monsoon bucket doesn’t tilt back or disappear from the operator’s sight, allowing the pilot to fly over the fire affected zones at high speeds.
