Die Drakenstein-plaaswag (DFW) pronk vir die volgende drie maande nie net met \u2019n moderne 4\u00d74- brandweerwa nie, maar sal ook sy goeie werk verder en vinniger kan voortsit wat brandbestryding in die vallei betref.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die voertuig, wat in Suid-Afrika gebou is, is op die Russiese 4\u00d74 Ural 4320 gegrond. Dit is \u2019n super-wa wat deur die Russiese weermag gebruik word. Op tuisbodem word die voertuig deur Anco Manufacturing vervaardig, wat spesialiseer in die maak en verskaffing van brandbestrydings- en landboutoerusting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anco pak die projek aan met die hulp van Feeler Africa, \u2019n professionele vurkhyser-, materiaal\u00adhanterings\u00adtoerusting-verspreider- en grondverskuiwingsmaatskappy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By die bekendstelling van die brandweerwa, wat tydelik aan DFW oorhandig is, het Daan van Leeuwen Boomkamp, die DFW-bevelvoerder, ges\u00ea: \u201cOns het baie brande hier [in Drakenstein], sowat 300 brande per jaar. Ons het vandag \u2019n nuwe wapen gekry en die voertuig kan eintlik alles doen waarvan ons gedroom het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andr\u00e9 Scheepers, die besturende direkteur van Anco, het al die pad van Piet Retief in Mpumalanga gereis om die bekendstelling en oorhandiging van die voertuig by te woon. \u201cIn hierdie stadium is dit \u2019n demonstrasiemodel wat ons tesame met Feeler Africa, die invoerder van die Russiese Ural-vragmotor wat redelik nuut en uniek in die land is, ontwikkel het. Ons het die projek saam met hulle aangepak en \u2019n nuwe vuurvegter-eenheid vir tipiese bos- en veldbrande in Kaapse toestande ontwikkel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scheepers s\u00ea hulle het dit goedgedink om die sleutels vir \u2019n tydperk aan \u2019n bekwame span te oorhandig eerder as om dit net te wys en uit te stal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het uiteraard Drakenstein-plaaswag gekies om die voertuig vir drie maande in werklike toestande te beproef. Die hele idee is, nadat dit [die brandweerwa] klaar is, wanneer die grootste gevaar en vuurseisoen verby is, dat dit so [deur die land] terugry. Ons gaan dit vir ander kli\u00ebnte ook gee en n\u00e1 \u2019n jaar of so sal ons die voertuig in die mark sit en dit verkoop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scheepers s\u00ea met die ontwerp van die super-wa het hulle aan alles gedink, maar die terugvoering van DFW n\u00e1 die drie maande sal hulle ook help om die produk verder te verbeter en te ontwikkel. Die maatskappye het die brandbestrydingsorganisasie, \u2019n organisasie sonder winsoogmerk, uitgedaag om die voertuig tot die uiterste te beproef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die voertuig is uniek in die Suid-Afrikaanse mark omdat baie 4\u00d74- kommersi\u00eble voertuie baie beperk is en die meeste \u201csagte 4\u00d74\u2019s\u201d is, s\u00ea Scheepers. Anco en Feeler Africa het die voertuig ontwerp sodat dit in die moeilikste toestande in die w\u00eareld bedryf kan word. Dit is ook hoekom die twee maatskappye die voertuig benoem het as geskik vir tipiese veld- en bosbrande.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scheepers s\u00ea die voertuig het verskeie moderne eienskappe. \u201cDie voertuig is toegerus met \u2019n afstandbeheer-buffermonitor wat jy uit die sitplek kan beheer \u2013 aan- en afskakel \u2013 en in die ry kan gebruik. Dit is \u2019n groot voordeel vir veelvuldige toepassings wanneer jy groot gebiede moet dek. Dit is in die geval van \u2019n tekort aan hande \u2019n baie nuttige hulpmiddel om te h\u00ea. Dit [die voertuig] kan \u2019n groot afstand dek, met baie groot slaankrag. Dit kan groot vure bitter vinnig platslaan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die voertuig het ook \u2019n skuimeenheid wat water bespaar deur \u2019n fraksie daarvan te gebruik, maar ook om vure vinniger te blus. In Engels is dit bekend as die Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS). Dit is in Suid-Afrika aan die hand van \u2019n Amerikaanse idee ontwikkel. Scheepers s\u00ea gewoonlik word sowat 400 liter per minuut deur \u2019n brandweerwa se voorste bufferspuitstuk uitgelaat. Die tenk is dan binne sewe minute leeg.\u2013 Vervolg op bladsy 2.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
