Container Handling Rack Fire Suppression System
Installation of effective automatic fire detection and suppression systems on container handlers can help minimize equipment downtime, prevent loss of expensive equipment, and safeguard against serious injury.
Areas to Protect in Container Handling Equipment
- Engine Compartments
Failures in hydraulic hoses or fuel lines can cause fuel or hydraulic oil to leak or spray throughout the compartment. Once in contact with hot components in the engine, the fuel or oil can ignite - filling the whole compartment with fire.
- Crane Electrical Panels
Overcurrent in panels within the crane's electrical room can cause wiring and components to burn. A fire in an unprotected panel can destroy the panel and spread throughout the electrical room.
- Crane Electrical Rooms
Electrical faults can cause wiring and components to burn, and lead to arc flash within the crane's electrical room. In these cases, the spread of fire can be catastrophic, destroying the room and possibly the crane, leading to collapsing booms and beams.
