In the harsh working conditions of mining, construction, agribusiness, forestry, and waste management, fire is a constant threat. That’s why LVC Companies offers a complete lineup of industry-leading vehicle fire suppression systems for the heavy-duty mobile equipment that powers these industries.
Engineered for performance and reliability, these systems protect valuable heavy machinery, reduce downtime and, most importantly, safeguard heavy equipment operators and save lives.
Partnering with trusted manufacturers like ANSUL and Amerex, LVC delivers advanced fire protection solutions tailored to protecting mobile industrial equipment in the harshest environments.
Why Fire Suppression Systems Are Critical for Heavy Machinery
Heavy-duty mobile equipment operates under extreme conditions—high temperatures, flammable fluids, and rugged terrain. An unchecked fire can cause catastrophic damage in seconds. LVC’s pre-engineered fire suppression systems are designed to:
• Prevent equipment loss
• Minimize operational downtime
• Protect operators from injury or fatality
• Comply with industry safety regulations
With options for manual or automatic activation, dry and wet chemical agents, and non-fluorinated liquid fire suppression, LVC ensures your fleet is protected from every angle. Examples include:
Dry Chemical Fire Suppression for Mobile Heavy Equipment
Both ANSUL and Amerex offer dry agent fire suppression systems that are proven solutions for combating Class A, B, and C fires. They are ideal for:
• Large off-road construction, mining and agricultural equipment
• Underground mining vehicles
• Specialized industrial machinery
Dry chemical systems are known for durability, reliability, and flexibility, and can be installed as stand-alone or twin-agent systems when paired with a liquid suppression unit. For example, Amerex Dry-ICS combines the strengths of both agents for the best possible fire protection for equipment and operators in high-risk environments.
Liquid Suppression Systems for Diesel and Hydraulic Fires
Amerex ICS and ANSUL Liquid Vehicle Suppression (LVS) systems utilize liquid agents for superior fire suppression and cooling benefits. FM-approved, non-fluorinated liquid agents effectively extinguish diesel fuel and hydraulic fluid fires while cooling hot surfaces to prevent re-ignition. As a bonus, clean-up time after discharge is often significantly less compared to dry chemical systems.
Perfect for:
• Surface and underground mining equipment
• Agricultural and construction machinery
• Forestry and waste management vehicles
LVS and ICS liquid fire suppression systems are life-saving solutions that provide rapid fire knockdown and thermal protection, giving operators precious time to evacuate safely.
N-101: Gaseous Fire Suppression for Electrical Enclosures
The ANSUL N-101 System is a nitrogen-based gaseous suppression system designed to protect small electrical and control enclosures within mobile equipment. When paired with the CHECKFIRE automatic detection system, it delivers targeted, automatic fire suppression without damaging sensitive electronics.
This system is ideal for:
• Operator cabs
• Battery compartments
• Electrical control panels
By preventing electrical fires before they spread, the N-101 system helps protect lives and maintain operational integrity.
