During an emergency, a portable fire extinguisher can often be heavy, unwieldy, and hard to aim effectively. Plus, it may not have the capacity or discharge time necessary for effective control for anything but the smallest fires. This is where a wheeled fire extinguisher can prove useful. With its larger capacity and easy-to-maneuver design, it can be far more effective in certain situations.

When you need to replace, recharge, or service a wheeled fire extinguisher at your commercial facility, turn to our experts at United Fire Protection.

The Benefits of Wheeled Fire Extinguishers

All the fire extinguishers in the world will not save your business if they are too heavy or too hard to use in an emergency. By adding wheels and a higher capacity, wheeled fire extinguishers offer several advantages over hand-held models

Increased maneuverability – Wheeled fire extinguishers can be moved into place quickly by a single person and maneuvered easily for the greatest effectiveness.
Higher capacity – With a larger tank, more suppressants can be directed at the fire for longer, increasing your chances of extinguishing it.
Easier operation – With a flexible hose to dispense the suppressant, a wheeled fire extinguisher is easier to aim and control, increasing its effectiveness.
Greater safety – Between the long hose of a wheeled fire extinguisher and its increased power, the operator can stay further away from the fire for increased safety.

Wheeled Fire Extinguisher FAQS

How do I operate a wheeled fire extinguisher?

Use the handle to tip the fire extinguisher and move it into position near the fire. Remove any fasteners that secure the hose, then unroll it. Pull the pin on the fire extinguisher, then pull the trigger or open the valve, aiming the suppressant towards the base of the fire in a sweeping motion, back and forth.

How often should my fire extinguishers be inspected?

At United Fire Protection, we recommend professional fire extinguisher inspections twice annually, in coordination with your regular fire protection inspections. Monthly inspections should also be performed by your own qualified staff.

What can causes fire extinguishers to lose pressure?

If the fire extinguisher has been partially discharged, it will show a fraction of its normal pressure. Leaks in hoses or valves can also cause a loss of pressure, as can corrosion in the tank.

What is hydrostatic testing?

During a hydrostatic test, a fire extinguisher is pressurized to slightly above normal operating pressures, and if it maintains that pressure, the fire extinguisher can be recertified and recharged.
