With its small size and low weight, the Heliskid® can be transported by many types of light vehicle, greatly complementing its ability to be heli-transported via long line. Equipped with high-performance features, it can be deployed with 3,000 L and a high-performance pump in one convenient kit.
The Heliskid® tank is unique in that it can be filled using rotor-wing resources, reducing refill time rather than relying on water tenders to make multiple long trips.
