Lion 6x6 ARFF
in partnership with Volkan Makina · Caribbean distribution & service by Allen + Co.
Mid-tier ARFF for international Caribbean gateways — 12,500 L of water, MFPN 10-10000 pump, 110 m turret reach.
The Lion 6x6 is Volkan's workhorse for international airports — the configuration most Caribbean Code 7–9 operations specify when they need sustained, high-volume ARFF capability without going to a heavy 8x8. Standard configuration delivers up to 17,000 litres of water per minute through the WG 9000 SE roof turret at 110 metres of range, with the MFPN 10-10000 fire pump driving the system. True pump-and-roll, ABS, centralised tyre inflation, centralised lubrication, case data logger and head-up displays are standard.
Allen + Co. specifies each Lion 6x6 with a Caribbean tropicalisation package — corrosion protection, marine-grade fasteners, climate-tuned cooling — and commissions it on-island with trained technicians and a stocked Caribbean parts supply.
